Greater Wolf

In the roughest and most remote terrain dwell massive gray wolves, evolved descendants of fearsome prehistoric canines. Pelts of greater wolves are exceptionally tough and prized for hide armor. Hunting a solitary greater wolf is considered the ultimate test of manhood in many rustic warrior cultures.

The arctic-dwelling winter wolf is as large as a dire wolf but has snow-white fur and pale blue eyes.

Winter wolves communicate with one another using growls and barks, but they speak Common and Giant well enough to follow simple conversations.

Worg

A worg is an evil predator that delights in hunting and devouring creatures weaker than itself. Cunning and malevolent, worgs roam across the remote wilderness or are raised by goblins and hobgoblins. Those creatures use worgs as mounts, but a worg will turn on its rider if it feels mistreated or malnourished. Worgs speak in their own language and Goblin, and a few learn to speak Common as well.
