Suddenly: Shadow-Wolves

The Basic, non Blood-Creature Warrior of the Dark World, Shadow-Wolves are aggressive, tenacious beasts.

The behavior of Shadow-Wolves is pack-based and aggressive, focused purely on bringing down prey before moving on. In combat, this gives them flanking abilities where most tribes have none, eg. the Eagle Gunline style. The fear that Shadow-Wolves can instill is a weapon itself, and Blood-Creatures often accompany packs of Shadow-Wolves, using them for protection, and as grunts.

In appearance, Shadow-Wolves resemble normal, earth-bound Wolves, except they are made out of Shadow and their eyes glow an eerie yellow, the howl of a Shadow-Wolf is common in the Dark World and, after Eaphron's arrival, common in Chima as well.

Shadow-Wolves have an odd ability set: They are slightly more intilligent than normal Wolves, and this gives them a degree of tactical thinking, but not to the extent of the Wolf Tribe. Shadow-Wolves can also be lit on fire without any serious repercussions, except Darkfire, which kills them.

The final, and most odd ability, is their ability to carry items without them being seen. Such as carrying a book, then desintigrating and leaving the book behind.

The Shadow-Wolves are integral to World of Dreams, and their very existence proves to Eaphron later on that not all is as it seems...
