Icewolf Species in Slimea Multiverse | World Anvil

Icewolf


Idea and Written by Drackzahn
It was a harsh fight. Bullets penetrated the air as the soldiers tried to hit the agile Icewolf warrior. Elegantly and quickly she vanished from cover to cover, closing the distance between herself and the enemy with each move. Panic spread under the soldiers as the Icewolf reached the first group of them. With a quick move, her tail brushed over the men and they were sucked into the fluffiness of her tail, melting in her gooey body that hid under her fur. Eventually, only one group of soldiers remained, they hit her with a salve of their weapons. The projectiles entered her body and she shouted out in surprise. "Hey! That tingled. Dang, now I lost my bet with my pack, thank you, idiots!" The bullets, one after the other, were pushed out by her body and fell to the ground while her body healed itself. Giggles erupted from behind the soldiers and they remembered that Icewolves never hunt alone.

Abilities

Ice wolves share no abilities with their parent species.

Gooey Absorbtion

Their biggest trump card is the gooey infusion they got. Beneath the soft fur of their tail is gooey flesh, the same that makes their breasts. It looks identical to normal skin but is softer and warmer. If someone touches this gooey flesh and the ice wolf wants it, then the prey will sink inside. After a short moment, a strong pull can grip the prey and pull them in faster and faster and melt them away. The ice wolf enjoys such absorptions and stores the person in her body. She is able to let them out again or store them for a longer duration. The body mass of the absorbed victim is compressed but visible. This means that an Icewolf woman, who has absorbed several people in her breasts will have massive breasts, same as a male Icewolf who absorbs many in his tail will have a massive tail as the result. While female icewolves often prefer to use their breasts for this gooey absorption, male icewolves only use their tails as they lack the gooey flesh on their chests.  

Icewolf Transformation

People who were absorbed by Icewolves can be transformed temporarily or permanently into more icewolves. This does not require the permission of the absorbed person and can be done at any time by the Icewolf, no matter if male or female Icewolf. The resulting new icewolf may receive a sex change if the Icewolf wishes for this. Most prefer to transform their victims into female Icewolves.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Icewolves have Human like anatomy with the same limbs and organs. Differently from humans, they have their skin covered in thick, very fluffy fur in the colors of white or grey. They also have wolf ears and a big wolf-like tail, which fur is especially fluffy. They have a muzzle like a wolf and a soft nose on top of it. Their eyes are formed like the ones of cats. Hair, eyes, and fur are often in light colors with a touch of blue in them. Most have turquoise-blue hair and eyes. Ice Wolves are covered by a thick but short fur pelt. It holds them warm, even in the coldest place of Earth, and allows them to operate easily in snow and ice. Many reported that hugging an Ice Wolf feels fantastic and that their fur is very warm and pleasant on the skin. An Ice Wolf has enchanted muscles that allow them to run nearly as fast as a bunny girl and hit nearly as strong as a Dragongirl. They have similar regeneration abilities as their dragongirl comrades. A Human has nearly no chance of running away or fighting fist-to-fist against an Ice Wolf. With their claws, they can even run at walls or climb them up easily.

Genetics and Reproduction

Icewolves can reproduce in three different ways.  
Transformation by a Googirl
Similar to many of the subspecies of Googirls and Humans, Googirls can easily change the DNA of most species to these of an Icewolf. Being transformed by a Googirl is the rarest way of becoming an Icewolf nowadays, as most prefer it to be transformed by an Icewolf.  
Transformation by an Icewolf
Using their absorption ability together with their transformation ability, Icewolves can transform most other species into one of their own kind. The benefit of being transformed by an Icewolf instead of a Googirl is that you can automatically join their pack and learn to use your new abilities and your new body from them. Unexpectedly, even male Icewolves can transform others into their kind. This ability is not limited to the female Icewolves, even if it is way more common that they do the transformation.  
Being born by an Icewolf
Female Icewolves are able to become pregnant from any Human-like species. The resulting child is most often an Icewolf. The pregnancy takes 10 months. The most typical kindles are twins or triplets. Both more and only a single child are rather uncommon, similar to how it is uncommon for humans to have more than one child per pregnancy.

Growth Rate & Stages

Icewolves who are born naturally grow up in the same way as Humans do and are adults by the 18th birthday. Different from humans is the quicker growth of their bodies and the higher strength and agility of Icewolf children and teenagers. This can easily cause problems, as they behave like typical kids, but with more abilities to cause chaos.   Transformed Icewolves stay in their current growth stage, meaning that an adult who was transformed will become an adult Icewolf, while a child who is transformed will become a child Icewolf.

Ecology and Habitats

Ice Wolves prefer cold climate areas in the Slimean Lands but can live anywhere. They often have no fixed home and prefer to wander around their territory to protect it. Their dens are more like hubs for their race to come together and have private time. Some Ice Wolves prefer to have their own apartments as their headquarters to come back to.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Icewolves are omnivores and change their preferences depending on the situation and the availability of food sources. While they are not active, most prefer a vegetarian diet with lots of fresh fruits. During harsh missions that require much energy and investment from them, Icewolves switch over to a more nutritious diet, including much flesh and sugar-containing products to fulfill their requirements of nutrition.

Biological Cycle

Similar to Humans, Icewolves have no hibernation cycle and live and operate through the whole year. They were specially designed by the Googirls to be able to work under harsh and cold conditions.   Their fur can change its thickness in mere hours and is controlled by the Icewolf directly. They only need to change their thickness if the conditions for temperature or wind change drastically, as their normal fur thickness is fitting to let them live comfortably down to -20° Celsius and up to 15° Celsius. Above or below these temperatures, the Icewolf typically let its fur grows or reduces the amount. These modifications of their fur require much energy from them, similar to running a marathon.   Icewolf males and females are fertile throughout the whole year.

Behaviour

Ice Wolves have the Loyalty Gene in them and stay always loyal to the queen of Slimea. This loyalty also covers their pack and influences their decision-making process. If an Icewolf could choose between a big benefit for themself, or a minor benefit for the whole pack, then they would choose the latter one as they also expect that every other member of the pack would do the same decision. They have a huge love for freedom and hate to be trapped against their will or the number of possible actions taken away from them due to hierarchy or limited resources. While giving Icewolves commands, one should also allow them to choose their own way of handling the situation and not give them too precise commands. That way, the Icewolf will choose the best-fitting one for herself that fulfills the requirements. Due to their high playfulness combined with their love for hunting just for fun, they automatically train their instincts and their bodies during the whole year, even during times out of action. For an Icewolf, spending the whole day on the couch is an absolute no-go.   The packs of Icewolves are very territorial societies. An Icewolf accepts and prefers members of her own pack in her territory, but will find it disturbing and unnerving to have members outside her pack in her core territory. That makes it hard to bring guests over to their own home and most Icewolves prefers to visit their friends in their homes instead of their own territory.

Additional Information

Social Structure

Ice Wolves are living in small packs. These packs are mostly combined out of other Ice Wolves and Goowolves, but sometimes they let other races join as well, even when they prefer wolves. A pack is lead by the alpha of the group, mostly the oldest or strongest of them.   Such a pack is no life long binding, but a relative free constellation of individuals. A pack can hold for a single mission, be one for a long training session or long for many years. Members can leave and join whenever they wish. Most Ice Wolves have a family pack and a temporarily mission pack.   They often settle with their main den in little villages. These villages become soon populated by the wolves and they offer the villagers to join their ranks. They will begin to help out the village and its villagers. This can be done through small things like taking care of the kids or trimming the grass, but can also be bigger things like taking over the major position or taking care of the taxes for the villagers. Either way, a den in an village is a strong bond between villagers and ice wolves.

Facial characteristics

Similar to furry Wolf-Humans, Icewolves have a muzzle with a soft, sensitive nose at the end. Their teeth are more feral than these of humans and way sharper. Their cat-like eyes always have a blue or turquoise-like color. The ears of an Icewolf remind of a mix of fox-like and wolf-like ears at the top of their heads. A soft layer of fur is covering their faces.

Average Intelligence

Icewolves have a rather average intelligence in most cases except for quick decision-making. Even in most heated situations, Icewolves are able to connect information and make a quick, fact-based decision. This ability is especially useful in any kind of fight or emergency situation. With it, they can quickly go through their potential options and take the best one.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Icewolves have an incredible hearing and smelling perception. Like dogs, they can easily sniff out traces and identify substances, especially if they are trained in this capability. Similar to dogs, their ears are very sensitive and can hear footsteps even through thick walls and identify nuances of sounds, like telling apart different kinds of steps of different people. That makes it near impossible to surprise an Icewolf. The rest of their sensory abilities is rather average and comparable to the ones of Humans.

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

There is nearly no common naming pattern in the Icewolf society. It is typical for leaders of a pack to be called Alpha as a title before their name. While speaking inside a pack, Icewolves refer to each other with their first names, while they use the last names of their pack members when speaking about them to people outside their own pack.

Major Organizations

Icewolves are most often members of the military of the Queendom of Slimea.

Beauty Ideals

The quality of the fur and how well it is cared for, especially the short fur on the face and the fluffy fur of the tail, are the primary beauty ideals for Icewolves. A beautiful icewolf typically has a well-trained body, fluffy and healthy fur, and big, colorful eyes.

Relationship Ideals

Due to the way higher amount of female Icewolves compared to male ones, it is very common to find lesbian relationships in the packs. Monogamy is typical, but not required as there are examples of polygamy relationships inside the pack structures. Icewolves most often form relationships with either member of their own packs, or with people around these packs, like members of other species that help out the pack or live close to the pack's headquarters. Due to the high strength and fit bodies of Icewolves and their natural soldier-like thinking, they can be very dominant in relationships, especially toward members of other species. "Taming" an Icewolf and becoming the dominant part of a relationship is no easy task. Especially female Icewolves are famous for their feral, dominant nature. In Relationships with only Icewolves, the female one is most often the dominant one while the male submits.

Common Dress Code

As Icewolves operate mostly in colder areas, it is common to prefer clothes in bright or light colors. Darker colors are uncommon. Most Icewolves prefer clothes that cover most parts of their bodies and even wear scarves during warmer days.

History

Icewolves did not undergo any kind of evolution but were designed by the Googirls of the Queendom of Slimea as a special operation force in harsh climate conditions. Due to the natural weakness of gooey beings to cold, there were discussions on how to counter this weakness but hold at least some of the strength of the googirls like their absorption and regenerative abilities. It was Neele Berg, the sister of the High-General Arillja Berg, who heard of these plans and offered an idea: Hide the gooey nature under a thick layer of fur. As a Wolf-Human herself, her idea was to design a wolf-like demi-human species with a gooey nature inside of their bodies. The idea was confirmed by the Queen and Neele became the first of the Icewolves together with joining the military of Slimea and receiving the command of this new species during military operations.   As the requirement was to operate the Icewolves not as frontline soldiers, but as a special operation force, Neele organized them in packs, each with their own alpha and subculture. The thinking in packs was established in the DNA of this new species by the googirls to help them operate in perfect unity. Quickly, many joined this new species due to its friendly and fluffy nature. Packs formed in nearly all villages and cities of nature, and even beyond the nation's borders.
