Dire Wolf

Lore

Dire Wolves are regarded as ancient creatures—not merely within the history of Aincrad, but from an era far older, when the land still rested upon the curved surface of the world below. They are considered the ancestors of typical wolves, but are larger in stature, with superior musculature. There were several species of wolf in Aincrad until some 700 years ago, when the Dire Wolves drove them to extinction. Their natural competitive edge is likely the secret to their survival over these thousands of years.
