Ikurys (ick-OO-riss) is pretty much the Dire Wolf army alpha's "claws." He is the one to dive into battle beside or ahead of the alpha, and he is the one who will torture prisoners, as well as threaten or kill them to get the answers his alpha wants. He is MUCH bigger than other Dire Wolves, and much more stronger and tolerant to pain. As a pup, he was bullied and picked on by other pups, for being so big and shy, and for having greenish belly fur. One day, a group of pups ganged up on him and mutilated him, tearing off part of his tail, and his ear, and some pieces of his skin. He was lucky enough to have been able to be patched up by the Healers, who sewed on the skin of other animals. At one point, he killed the Skogkatt Deputy and demanded he be patched up with the Deputy's skin, to mock the skogkatts.

I made up a design for Dire Wolves so i could use them in a story of mine and have them fit in in a world with Skogkatts :D http://hawkpath-tail.deviantart.com/art/Dire-Wolf-Anatomy-Design-340705602?q=gallery%3Ahawkpath-tail&qo=2 <---Go here to see the Dire Wolf Anatomy Design
