The monstrous direwolf is a huge powerful beast with baleful red eyes that seem to bore through to the very soul. Impressively large bone deposits protrude across the breadth of the beast's back and neck. Large teeth that seem too big even for the massive maw can easily be seen even when the powerful jaws are closed. [[Foggy Valley#Behind the Scenes|Mist]], or perhaps tendrils of smoke, occasionally drift up from the flaring nostrils. Sharp eyes, and a sense of smell to match, and a cunning said to rival demons make a direwolf something to avoid.

The monstrous direwolf is a huge powerful beast with baleful red eyes that seem to bore through to the very soul. Impressively large bone deposits protrude across the breadth of the beast's back and neck. Large teeth that seem too big even for the massive maw can easily be seen even when the powerful jaws are closed. Mist, or perhaps tendrils of smoke, occasionally drift up from the flaring nostrils. Sharp eyes, and a sense of smell to match, and a cunning said to rival demons make a direwolf something to avoid.

Other information

The "bony protrusions" on the direwolf can deflect attacks from hitting in much the same way as the special "protrusions" messaging on myklian.

They have a +50 TD boost maneuver that sometimes triggers, and a +68 AS boost that occurs semi-frequently giving their claws +433 AS.

The bears have several maneuvers that can lock you into RT and force your stance down. The warped tree spirits have sheer fear.

They can attack twice in one round by mauling you if they knock you down first.

The wolves will sometimes attack the direbears instead of you.

Knockdown Maneuver
A monstrous direwolf leaps on you, knocking you painfully to the ground!
   ... 10 points of damage!
   Invisible force gives you a rabbit punch.
Roundtime: 5 sec.
DS Penalty Maneuver
A monstrous direwolf focuses his glare on you and looses an eerie, bone-chilling howl! (steep DS penalty)
You quake uncontrollably, convulsing with terrified shivers!
Lunges

Roundtime: 5 sec.

   ... and hits for 47 points of damage!
   Hard slash to belly severs a few nerve endings.

A monstrous direwolf stares at you hungrily, foam frothing heavily upon her lips.  The direwolf's eyes gleem with excitement as she spies your right arm.  With a swift and sudden movement, the direwolf sinks her large, canine teeth into your right arm and with a quick head jerk, severs the limb from your body.
