Dreadwolf (1)

Wolves often traveled in packs. But this one was alone. And for a very obvious reason. 

It was a dreadwolf. Named as such for being the dread of animal hunters, cattle, and commonfolk alike. Though they often lived in families of four to five, dreadwolves preferred to hunt alone. 

Strength in numbers did not matter to these creatures, for if a normal wolf needed five or more of its pack to take down a large beast, it would only take one dreadwolf to do the same. 

The dreadwolf was tall and large, at least five feet in height with a heavily muscular body. With fierce eyes that could see clearly in the dark of night, dreadwolves were known for being the deadliest and most effective predators that were not magical in nature.

That said, this one was not a normal dreadwolf. Its eyes were fierce and pointed, but instead of having the color red over its pupils, they were instead a disgusting gray.
