-A type of wolf that is smaller than a dire wolf but larger than the average gray wolf. Males can get up to 3.5 feet in height (to their shoulders) and weigh up to 200-300 pounds. They have distinct, narrow snouts, abnormally long canines (which stick out of their mouths), and deadly hooked claws that can grow longer than a grizzly bears.
-Their coats are thick and multilayered, keeping them very warm. All Cliff Dirk Wolves, no matter what gender or size, have brown fur. The darkness or lightness of that fur may vary.
-Their pelts are worth a few silvers due to how difficult it is to hunt, much less find one.
-Dirk Wolves are extremely intelligent and lethal hunters. They have an excellent sense of smell and seem to nearly always avoid coming into contact with humanoids when they do not wish to be around them. They hunt in packs of fifteen to twenty and are rarely ever seen alone.
-Dirk Wolves are taken over by blood lust. Once they have the taste of blood, they will kill anything in sight and will stop at nothing to destroy their prey. Sometimes they will not even eat their kill.
-Humans and shifters are a part of their natural diets. Sometimes they will devour young dragons and/or gryphons.
-They are experts at climbing the cliffs, much like a goat.
-Training one is a matter of stealing a pup after it is done weaning. An adult cannot be tamed without divine intervention.
-All Dirk Wolves live at the base or on the lower-middle levels of the Cliffs.
-They can live up to 20 years
