Dire Wolf

The Dire Wolf is a legendary predator, a creature of immense size and power. Much larger than its common wolf counterpart, the Dire Wolf is a force of nature. With its thick fur and powerful jaws, it strikes fear into the hearts of even the bravest adventurers. These creatures are often found in remote and unforgiving regions, where they roam freely, embodying the untamed wilderness.
