Dire Strife Wolf

Lore

Hunter Wolves never become pack leaders, but their outstanding physical prowess can sometimes make them stronger than their Roaring Wolf counterparts. Hunter Wolves tend to work alone, and can be possessed by spirits drawn to their outstanding magical power. Most notably, if they are possessed by a Lightning Spirit, their body will swell, their fur will develop stripes, and small lightning bolts will envelop them. This possessed Hunter Wolf revels in its newfound power as it hunts—for a time. In fact, it will gradually lose its sense of self, devolving over time into nothing more than an empty vessel for the spirit to use as it pleases.
