Warrior wolves, so named for their connections with the Dark Warrior, live mainly in the lands that warrior conquered, seemingly still bound by its borders. Indeed, every part of their nature seems connected with the warrior from the underworld. Their first sightings on earth coming alongside his and a vast change in their appearance occurred after a rumoured spat with him.
In appearance, they have fur, often described as being of the purest black, that is often matted, and solidly dull red eyes. Warrior wolves walk as if their legs are deformed, although this apparent disability seems to evaporate when they hunt. All this is in stark contrast to accounts from the Dark Warrior’s conquered lands where these predators were described as having bright, glinting, scarlet eyes with fur, though matt, not matted, and were always lithe, moving always with menace. The changes are widely believed to be a punishment inflicted by the Dark Warrior himself for a crime unknown.
Other legends relating to the Dark Warrior have been noted elsewhere (most notably the idea that they were once some kind of reverse werewolves) countless times and are so well known that I shall not bother repeating them here.
Like all wolves they live and hunt in packs. In their case they live within forests and hunt, mainly deer, both under and out of tree cover. Their hunting technique, however, is what really sets them apart from other wolves and yet further cements the relationship to their old master. Their method is to approach herds of deer (or occasionally sheep and even cows) in a triangular formation, either sneaking up or overrunning their prey before turning inwards to finish off any hapless creature unfortunate enough to find themselves within this triangle of darkness.
Warrior wolves are ferocious beasts, ripping prey apart quite forcefully to gain legs and ribs to take back to the pack, however many within their territories claim they have some good inside them it just has no outlet.
