Dire Wolf

''Found mostly in forests, direwolves are rarely seen. They live in secrecy far from humans, and eggs are extremely difficult to locate and take. Direwolves are vicious if not raised around humans and are one of the strongest companions a human can have. Trained properly from birth, however, a direwolf is a loyal and fierce companion.''

Egg
This egg is brown and heavy with a dark paw print on it.

Hatchling
This direwolf pup is playful, but its teeth are growing too sharp to play with you. It sleeps at the end of your bed and enjoys chewing sticks and chasing squirrels and other small animals in the forest. It is much larger than you would have expected a dog or even a wolf to be, weighing about eighty pounds and growing bigger with each day. Needless to say, it promises to be massive when it reaches maturity, and will be a formidable companion wherever you travel.

Adult
The adorable puppy has grown into a beast that would frighten you if it hadn't been raised around humans and trained. Larger than any normal wolf, this direwolf is muscular and physically intimidating, with a dark coat and a cunning mind. It often takes off on its own for many moons, returning only when ready. Most at home in forests, direwolves can guide magis to the most hidden dens and lairs, and being larger than any normal wolf is an extremely capable defender.
