10" 2 5+ 1 It is not only humanoid mortals that can be reanimated through necromancy. Dire Wolves are the remains of mangy lupine beasts that stalk the bleak forests and tundras surrounding many a vampiric keep, their fur reeking of the grave and their souls filled only with the need to kill. Unlike most undead, Dire Wolves have lost almost none of the swiftness they possessed in life. When they pounce, jaws flashing with mouldering teeth, they are easily capable of ripping out a Gryph-charger’s throat or bearing an armoured warrior to the ground. Relentless and incapable of tiring, they are the perfect hunting hounds for vampires who seek to run their living prey to ground.
Plentiful folklore surrounds these beasts, the most enduring example of which is their supposed ability to scent mortal terror upon the wind. There may be some truth to this, for a great many aristocratic vampires dote on Dire Wolves like favoured companions and grant them the honour of being the first loosed into battle; there, they viciously corral the petrified enemy, herding them into position for the Gravelord host to smash them asunder. In the wake of the resulting slaughter, there is always enough carrion to satiate the Dire Wolves’ hunger. | ||
