Lore

Dragon Wolves originated from a hybridisation experiment by the Dragonkin Dragonwilds:Lacrussa. Frustrated that mammals breed quickly while dragons brood at most a single viable progeny per century, she took dire wolves from a pack that wandered near her laboratory.Template:CiteJournal

Earlier attempts to hybridise dragons with kebbits and chinchompas had failed, but the wolves proved more durable, and Lacrussa became interested in their pack mentality. A rapid hybridisation approach was abandoned because mammals lacked the resilience to survive the process, and the project was redirected into a slow generational breeding programme. By Day 219 of the experiment, gradual viable changes had emerged: patches of scales, improved musculature and reflexes, though never anything approaching the power of a dragon. By Day 2307 the project was written off as a failure. The remaining Dragon Wolves were marked for incineration, but Viika released them into Fellhollow instead.Template:CiteJournal

Despite Lacrussa's verdict, Dragon Wolves are somehow resistant to the cursed nature of Fellhollow.Template:CiteJournal The crafters of Dragonwilds:Emberwood found a use Lacrussa did not. They valued Dragonwolf hide as durable, hardy and surprisingly flexible, and tanned it into Dragonwilds:Draconic Leather for outfits that emulated their winged dragon overseers.Template:CiteJournal
