Lore

Dragon wolves originated from a hybridisation experiment by the dragonkin 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.

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.

Despite Lacrussa's verdict, dragon wolves are somehow resistant to the cursed nature of Fellhollow. The crafters of Emberwood found a use Lacrussa did not. They valued dragonwolf hide as durable, hardy and surprisingly flexible, and tanned it into draconic leather for outfits that emulated their winged dragon overseers.

The unholy fusion of dragon and beast, creations of twisted dragonkin science. These creatures seem somehow resistant to the cursed nature of the region, but they refuse to sit still long enough for anyone to ask them why.

Not that they would answer, they have a wolf's mind, not a dragons.

Each one must be carefully managed and maintained with focused precision. Even those capable of spawning their own young, do so slowly. Often brooding no more than a single viable progeny in a century of practice... There are a pack of dire wolves that wander near my laboratory, it would be simple enough to procure a few of their number. Some adults, a few children, I'll need a large and diverse sample size for my experiments."

They're resilient, dangerous and there's something in the pack mentality that fascinates me... I have decided that a rapid hybridisation approach will not work. Mammals, while fast breeders, are weak and lack the resilience needed to survive the experiment if I go too quickly. Instead I shall engineer a slow breeding process, spreading the development out over the generations... The changes are gradual, yet viable. Scales here and there, some improved musculature and reflexes, yet nothing approaching the power of a dragon... I'd forgotten about this failure of an experiment. The dragon-wolves have proved inadequate for any useful purpose. I was going to incinerate the remaining members, but Viika in a fit of strangeness released them all."
