Official Race Name: Wolf
Commonly Used Names: Wolf, Dog, Demon, naturals (only by the lunar touched)
Body Type: Quadruped Canine
Aging: 1 human year = 6 wolf years (considered adult at 3 human years/18 wolf years)
Rank Level needed to play: 0
Race Traits:
Race Weaknesses:
Culture: Wolves are naturally sociable creatures that tend to form packs, dividing the hunting, pup raising, and defending duties amongst the members. Packs can be small or large, one family only or family groups. Generally, a heirarchy is formed with the leading male and female being called the alphas, the second in command being the betas, and the lowest ranked wolves being the omegas. Wolves are submissive to those of higher rank amongst their pack.
Not all wolves choose to form packs though, and some try to survive on their own as lone wolves. Once rare, this has become more common since the planet's decay and the wolf's fall into the subject of mythology.
The culture amongst specific breeds may vary.
Outsiders' view: Most humans believe wolves are extinct and completely dismiss their existence. (This is why humans are so easy to fool.) They think wolf kind died out centuries ago, and domestic dogs are the only remnants of the wild animals. Though they pass down stories of wolves and the legends of paradise, they do not really see them as intelligent creatures.
Some humans however are more in touch with nature, though they do not see wolves that often and can still be fooled by the human illusion. They are more accepting of wolves' existence, treating them as equals and believing them to be sacred animals.
Other animal species are generally wary of wolves. Some outright fear them, while others are more curious about this paradise they so desperately seek.

Race Traits:
- Enhanced Senses - Wolves have stronger senses than mere dogs, and all of their senses are superior to that of a human's. Some individuals have a particularly strong sense, whether it be hearing, sight, smell, touch, or taste.
- Heavy Eaters - Wolves will eat whatever they can, wherever they can. They can eat large amounts quickly and in short amounts of time, and will do so whenever they get the chance. This 'food stocking' allows them to go for up to two weeks when food becomes scarce.
- Human Illusion - Wolves have the ability to make others see them as human beings. Those closer to wolf kind, such as fellow canines and even felines, can see past this illusion. Humans who have been exposed to wolves for long periods (such as all their life) can begin to see through the illusion as well.
- Lunar Hearing - Wolves can hear the whisper of paradise, which in theory, will act at their guide to the gates of paradise. Note that they still require a lunar flower to find the gate.
- Multi-breed - Various breeds of wolf exist, and some may have certain traits that other wolves do not. A complete list of the various breeds and their specific traits has not been made and it is highly suggested that those who choose to play as a more exotic species research it before hand.
Race Weaknesses:
- Lack opposable thumbs - Although they appear to be picking things up with their hands while in disguise, wolves generally are using their muzzles to grip and move objects, thus they are incapable of handling and using certain items such as a bow and arrow.
- Flower Frenzy - Wolves are susceptible to the those with 'flower voice' and 'flower scent'. Flower types that sing to them can cast spells on them that induce sleep and other effects, while the scent of flower types makes a wolf naturally protective towards the flower scent. Wolves are easily influenced by flower power.
