Trinity
(former Alpha of Evil Wind)
Dire wolves are one of the main powerhouses of the Realm. They are
muscular and nearly twice as large as a large male grey wolf at
200-250 lbs for females and 250-300 lbs for males. They stand at
around 42-55 inches tall at the shoulder on average, with females
on the shorter side and males normally a bit taller. Because they
are naturally ‘bulked up’, well-muscled creatures, this trait
causes them to appear quite stocky. The modern-day evil Dire Wolves
of The Realm are always winged, with leathery ‘bat wings’ the more
common trait seen, though feathered wings are sometimes found. There
are non-evil Dire Wolves in The Realm. But, while physically the
same in size, the non-evil Dire Wolf will always be non-winged.
There are regional variants of Dire Wolves, which have adapted to
their natural environment and look physically different from the
Dire found in other regions of The Realm. For instance, the more
typical Dire Wolf of The Realm would be properly called the Sylvan
type, which is adapted to life and survival in temperate, forested
areas. The desert has its own type of Dire Wolf, who have supremely
adapted their physical appearance and traits to survive in this
harsh, unforgiving environment. Arctic and Jungle-adapted types of
Dire Wolves are possible in The Realm. And though Dires may appear
quite different in physical appearance from each other, they are all
in fact variations of the same species of wolf. Dires have been
around the Realm since the beginning, rising up to take a large
chunk of the Realm as their own. Today however, they are not quite
as common.
