Sanguine Wolf

Lore

Blood Wolves that have been ravaged by disease. Most of their cells have mutated, multiplying without regard for the body's natural mechanisms. However, innate magical powers keep Sanguine Wolves alive, and their growing cell counts have granted the beasts immense regenerative abilities. Their power is so great that they can regenerate instantaneously, even if cleaved in half—a phenomenon exclusive to them. Long ago, a wealthy member of an unassuming hamlet became fascinated by this regenerative power, and attempted to heal his own illness by harvesting cells from the Sanguine Wolves and transplanting them into himself. Unfortunately, the cells were highly toxic—not only did he die, but the village was wiped out in a matter of days, undone by the blood.
