Direwolves ｢牙狼族, garō-zoku, lit. "fanged wolf tribe"｣ are a species of magic beasts that live in the plains east of the Great Jura Forest.
Appearance[]
They have brown fur. The anime portrays them with silver-blue fur.
Story[]
Direwolves are a major problem for merchants that travel between the Eastern Empire and the kingdoms around the Great Jura Forest. The empire will only take action if the wolves encroach their grain fields, a vital lifeline for the empire. However, the direwolves have learned to avoid the fields, and focus on targeting merchants and monsters.[1]
As mystic beasts, direwolves do not necessarily require food to survive and instead mostly rely on magicules in the environment. They can evolve by attacking stronger monsters or humans.[1]
Evolution[]
In magicule-rich regions, a direwolf evolves in a magic-oriented fashion and becomes a Black fang. In volcanic regions, a direwolf would evolve with a fire element and become a Red fang. Near bodies of water, it would become a Blue fang, and in the forest, a Green fang. Adopting elements is a fairly common evolutionary pattern for direwolves.[2]
Abilities[]
Each wolf is the equivalent of a C-ranked monster. When lead by a capable leader, the entire pack acts as a single mind, and their rank is raised to a B.[1]
