Wolf (animal)

The common wolf is a predator present nearly everywhere in the world - from northern Sarradon to the depths of the Continent. It is hunted less for recreation and more due to the animal's tendency to pick off livestock and be a general nuisance to farmers.

Though perhaps not formidable on its own, most wolf species live in packs, and when confronted in a group, they're both far more aggressive and dangerous.

With great effort and skill we have followed the trail of the wolf back to its den, a crevice between two great boulders easily overlooked amongst the tumble of a densely forested hillock. As is tradition for quarry such as this, it is expected that only I go forward from here.

As I step within a few yards of the narrow mouth of the den, a threatening growl announces the presence of my quarry, silently padding forward and bearing its teeth. Though it appears to sense that something is afoot, it seems to not have noticed me yet. At this close range I will only have one shot with my long range weapon before the beast is upon me.
