Homebrew Feywild Wolf Species Details

Feywild Wolves are a sentient race that find their traces to the Feywilds. Through the powers of the feywilds, a sharp intelligence and understanding was roused into the wolves that accompanied the elves of they feywilds. The Feywild Wolves were a byproduct of that magic, and now they have spread out from their humble beginnings as a race of wanderers often found in packs. A tight bond that leads them to drift along the land in search for a place that they may call home.

Being part of the pack, a Feywild Wolf fits right at home with mercenaries, soldiers, hunters and labour workers. They require closeness and active work, most Feywild Wolves are smart and strong rendering them powerful and hard working. They are capable of finding their place with almost any group of travellers.

A Feywild Wolf usually stands tall at 6" to 8" ft tall. The coats of a Feywild Wolf can range from common colors such as black, brown or gray. Including uncommon colors such as white or blond. Most feywild Wolves eyes look humanoid, taking after their creators. The most common coat amongst feywild wolves is gray. 

Having close physical similarities to Werewolves, Feywild Wolves are often feared by commoners despite not sharing the hostile disposition of a feral Werewolf. For this reason their social standing is often distrusted, making it difficult for them to find work in cities or small villages. Therefore, most Feywild Wolves find a home on the road along with travelling bands of Feywild Wolves, or other travellers, soldiers, hunters or mercenaries who accept them into their pack.

Being a race produced from mere Feywild beasts, the Feywild Wolves have instinctual urges embedded in them. This makes them great pack hunters and fighters, but their appetite for blood can grow indiscriminatory. Incidents of Feywild Wolves losing control on their instincts and attacking humans is what makes them hard to distinguish from Werewolves. No matter the nature of a Feywild Wolf's heart, their instincts are that of a Wolf. A force of nature to be reckoned with.
