====== Wolves & Wargs ======

{{ :creatures:wolves-and-wargs.png?420|Wolves & Wargs}}

Feared pack hunters and their darker fantasy kin, tied to wilderness danger, outlaws, war, hunger, and Fenrir’s shadow.

===== In the North =====

Wolves are one of the most important predators for this campaign. They threaten livestock, travelers, and isolated farms, but they are also intelligent pack animals with a real place in the wild.

===== Myth and Folklore =====

Fenrir, Sköll, and Hati make wolves cosmic as well as natural. A wolf can be just a hungry predator, but it always carries the possibility of doom, pursuit, and the end of order.

===== Campaign Use =====

Use wolves for wilderness pressure and wargs for war-trained, goblin-linked, or corruption-touched threats. Postwar wargs can be starving, leaderless, and more tragic than evil.
