Character is somehow connected to wolves

>>My character will go into a frenzy if you hurt a wolf
Sounds familiar

L-lewd

This.

Is there any animal more overrated than wolf?

>What is it with edgelord autists and wolves?
I dunno, man, 'cause they're aesthetic as fuck?
If I was a real life Ranger, my first choice of familiar would be a raven, then a wolf, then a cat or a rat.

Loins. 500+ years of noble heraldry for a big dumb scavenger cat

>I dunno, man, 'cause they're aesthetic as fuck?

Problem is that most of the wolves pictured are American instead of better looking Eurasian variety.

>And, of course, ignoring that "lone wolves" are unsuccessful wolves who can't attract a mate and tend to live meager existences until they eventually die.

This makes me think. A rather weak, socially Autistic even by wolf standards, awakened Lone Wolf, saved from a fate of dying alone and unloved, by a somewhat Mad wizard who needed a guinea pig.

Now he must use this second chance to fix the failures of his previous life, and find learn to understand the concepts of family, friendship and teamwork, lest he get left behind again.

It would be like you're playing the edge Lord himself.

Thanks for making me self conscious about my sniper, who I thought of as a loner, and has the codename "Timber" after Timber wolves.

>making a loner sniper
>when most of them operate in pairs

Its a game, unless someone else wanted to make a spotter I kind of have to be a loner and nobody else made a spotter or another sniper. Might as well greentext about adventurers not being a real thing.

Hawks or Eagles

Make it a house sigil.

I hope someone makes a Ke$ha joke.

Or a "going down" joke.

Or a lumberjack joke.

Wolves are pretty impressive. Now if you had said lone wolves, you'd make a much better case
Come to think of it; Is there an animal as underrated as the rat?

I feel as though people tend to glance over how fuckawesome bears can be.

Otherwise, mountain lions and lizards.

Lions are fookin savage if you're a pissant living on the wrong side of the Pyrenees.

You could say a wolf on your heraldry is quite the "stark" contrast compared to all them dragons and lions.

>Might as well greentext about adventurers not being a real thing.

I see you're familiar with how this board operates.

If I had a house sigil, I would put a peacock on it, and my motto would be "Most Impressive".

Every predator is savage. Fucking hyenas will rip out your guts and start eating while you go into shock. You don't see them on house crests though

Oh come on

Hyenas are fuck-ugly and got stupid laughs, lions got their public image down all square and proper with those majestic manes.

Do not bully the Perrin.

there's a common misconception that wolves are angsty loners, based on phrase "lone wolf", I believe, and the fact that wolves were mostly seen by humans in winters, when driven by hunger to steal cattle, which made them seem savage

except that wolves are fiercely pack animals, lone wolf is psychically broken animal, and they avoid humans (like most animals do) when they have enough food and you don't threaten the cubs. they are also likely to sacrifice themselves for their mates and young

tl;dr normal wolves are as non-edgy as is possible for wild predator, and edgelords are being idiots following cliches and misconceptions

Perrin is made to suffer.

>My waifu is shit
>Why do i have to fight
>Fucking wolves
>Elias please
>I just want to smith
>Just let me play with my puzzles
>My eyes hurt
>It's cold
>What are these visions
>Remove REMOVE AXE

Being Perrin is suffering.

>hyenas
>ugly
Why would you lie like that?

All the waifus were shit. Perrin had the one highest on the shit heap

>Implying

Min is top tier. TOP TIER.

Just look at this qt3.14

>Min
Boring brown shit

Cute is not a thing you want on your heraldry, you want something cool that makes the blue-blooded bastard on the other side of the river get jealous.

Lions are cool, especially to people that have only heard stories of 'em.

DID SOMEONE SAY BEARS? BIGGER DOGS?

>Perrin Aybara is a huge, muscular man with generous facial hair and a gentle, loving personality

What did they mean by this?

>quickly pull the wolf out of the bag and throw it into harm's way
>BBEG harms the wolf

easy

gnollfags please stop
I like canine looking animals (fuckers are like cats)
You've picked the wrong carnivore.
Jackel a cute CUTE

then again having a hyena familiar with a bit of intelligence that spends too fucking much time laugh could be pretty fun

>Jackal a cute

Well fancy that, here I am posting *the* cute.

Crocodiles. They (sort of) never stop growing, they can kill almost anything, and they can eat whatever they kill, no matter how long it's been. They are very, VERY hard to kill, to the point where older crocodiles are bulletproof to most calibres. There are very few animals I would bet on in a direct fight with an old, powerful crocodile.

Which brings us to the next animal in line.
Where are the edgelord Hippokin

Why aren't bears more common on heraldry? They're fucking impressive and intimidating animals that will fuck you up.

They're not noble creatures.

I wish I knew user. Bears are just badass and every civilization that isn't Sub-Saharan/Australonesian knows of them I believe. But I guess muh Lions/dragons/eagles are better for some reason.

I can't help it, I really just thing of bears as bigger/wilder dogs, which is totally going to get me killed if I'd ever treat a wild bear like that, or even a "tame" (zoo) bear.

In my setting there is a steppe clan that's banner has a wolf heraldry, black wolf profile on a tawny field. Is that edgy?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_in_heraldry
They do appear. Not as frequently as other animals, but they do appear. Partially it's because the bear used to be considered somewhat demonic, and not something you'd want representing you.

Gustave is a best.

perhaps same reason some tribes had a taboo on hunting bears, or made a ritual of hunting bears, or whatever - because bear is very man-like. it's intelligent, it can walk on two legs, it eats all sorts of stuff, instead of just meat or just grass.

you don't put men on heraldry, and so some tribes didn't put bears on heraldry

What, there are tons of men on heraldry. Mostly knights, or limbs like the Isle of Man has 3 fucking legs as their heraldry.

full-blown knights? or just helmets?

also, saints don't count

Hippos are a bit weird. They're represented in media as one of those friendly herbivore animals when in reality they're huge motherfuckers who can and often will viciously murder anyone who looks at them funny. They're seen as 'cute' rather than 'cool'.

>While utterly ignoring that Alpha, etc. don't exist in wild wolf packs
Wow, what kind of beta cucklord do you have to be to believe that line of liberal trash?

Wolf packs are families, the leader wolf is often the leader wolf because he's the dad.

There's nothing dominating or submissive about it.

>feminist science

>responding to something that low effort
Come on now, at least make the trolls work for their (You)s

I bet you also think the praying mantis eats their men after mating, you hussy!

>oh, they do, and serves them right for being oppressive misogynistic patriarchal rapist assholes

I like giving out (yous) to people in need.

(You) could even say I'm offering them... (you)sed?

The kind who keeps up with the scientific community, user. The idea was first pioneered in the late 1940's, then really set off by a fellow by the name of David Mech, with his book "The Wolf: The Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species."

Only later studies, first in the late 1990's and then later on still we realized that was all bullshit and it isn't how it works at all, that wolves don't have some complex social hierarchy - it's just two wolves mating, forming a pack out of their children, and those eventually dispersing as they come of age to find other dispersed wolves and form their own packs.

Mech even OUTRIGHT ADMITS HE WAS WRONG and that his book is out of date on his very own website: davemech.org/news.html and on top of -that- he's made numerous requests to the publisher to stop publishing it.

Shit's so wrong even the guy who who wrote it is trying to stop being from repeating it.

>Where are the edgelord Hippokin

Tumblr mostly.

...

Wolves have been a pretty important part of mythology since basically the beginning.

...

Really makes you think

Because bears are assholes

Being gigantic assholes never stopped lions from being the defacto royal animal though.

Lions look good doing it.

>Leman Russ on suicide watch

>>Leman Russ on suicide watch
there are no wolves on fenris

That because Lion is a charismatic Chad
Bear is the douche no one likes, that arrives to class drunk, hits his gf, and got expelled for selling fake pot

The real kicker would be that this "awakened lone Wolf" would probably have a deep seeded hatred of regular wolves.

To him, they would be the ones who cast him out and condemned him to a life of isolation and scavenging for meager scraps. To him, they would be the Reason that he is an unwanted pariah, rather than his own faults and failures being the cause of it.

They would be the ones living the fulfilling, successful lives that HE deserved. Just the mix of Bitterness and Envy and the feelings of Betrayal he felt when they scorned him, would coagulate into a caustic, burning, hatred towards regular wolves, that his old animal mind was. Ever capable of.

Holy shit, this really would be like playing the party edgelord. And by that I don't mean the character he would make, I mean the Edgelord IRL!

Then what are the Fenrisian Wolves?

Filthy muties of human origin.

Humans who decided to take their Otherkin fantasies too far during the Age of Strife and use their tech to mutate themselves instead of actually keeping Fenris from becoming a feral hellhole

>taboo on hunting bears
Because they have relatively little meat and are super fucking dangerous?

There is a reason why the most common way to hunt bears tended to be wait until it is hibernating, gather a shitload of dudes with long sturdy spears and hope for the best.

So /r9k/ in animal form, then?

They do have some dope-ass pelt though.

Essentially, Yeah exactly that. But with less bitching and more pent-up aggresivness and emotions manifesting in actual violence, and being horribly malnourished rather than morbidly obese. Also he would have to have more of a chance to change himself for the better, otherwise he would just be a shit character.

PErsonally, I've never likes making wolves into creatures about feral strength or loneliness, that's more of Jaguar or Bear thing.

When I work with wolves, or include them in a character, I like to emphasize their cooperative nature, focus on a tight-knight family or group, and make them more about adaptability and survivability.

Because, honestly, the members of Genus Canis are not the smartest, fastest, strongest, meanest, or toughest froup of animals, but they almost universally are great when it comes to teamwork, cooperation, and long distribution and resource use. Pretty close to humans when it comes to mammals that are neither Primates nor Rodents when you think about it, and is probably one of the reasons why we were able to domesticate them so well.

That being said, Wolf is overrated canine, African Hunting Dog is GOAT

>samefagging this hard
At least change your post style user, this is just embarrassing.

>African Wild/Hunting Dogs have like a 90% kill rate
>wolves are like, below half or something
Truly terrifying little fuckers, they are.

Well that's because often times wolves will spend less time hunting big game and will supplement their diet with rats, shrews, gohpers, fish, and occasionally tubers. They're just not as specialized at hunting as the Wild Dogs
At least they aren't Maned Wolves, who's diet is around 50% vegetable matter, with the rest being grasshoppers, mice, and birds

Maned Wolves are basically just foxes on stilts anyways.

I'm glad I'm building my shitty furry setting correctly.
Brace for canines backstabbing each other in not!rome.

How would we stat him? He doesn't kill for food unless he does get nutrients from human screaming. We need stats befitting a scream eating dinosaur.

Take the Knot!

Well played
