Ice Wolf

Ice wolves are a stronger and rarer variant of common wolves, also known as white wolves. On the island of Khorinis they differ notably from their brown relatives: their heads and teeth are smaller, but they possess a red iris with black pupils and are physically far stronger, more agile, and more resilient. On the mainland, only their white fur distinguishes them from grey wolves. Ice wolves are primarily native to Nordmar, where the Wolf Clan has tamed numerous specimens – they supplement the human guards in the village. The hunter Hanson lives with the ice wolf Greyhair outside the clan. Their pelts are processed into leather by the Nordmarans or sold, providing warmth on cold nights. On the island of Khorinis, ice wolves were only sighted after the ice dragon Finkregh settled in the former New Camp and created the ice wasteland – drawn by his aura of cold, they roamed the frozen landscape and posed yet another danger alongside ice golems and lizardmen for anyone trying to penetrate the ice region. Xardas traded magical ore with the Wolf Clan in exchange for summoned ice golems – the clan members remembered the "blind mage who could still see."
