Bio: The colossal wolf is a descendant of the Southern Rocky Mountain wolf and Kenai Peninsula wolves that hybridized with each other and these predatory canines are the other natural predators of imperial mammoths, bison, horses, etc. They are one of the largest subspecies of gray wolves and one of the largest members of the dog family in Magnus. Pests, predators, symbols, icons and legends; colossal wolves are all these to Magnus's populace. Colossal wolves are highly social animals and they lived and often travel in packs up to 15 to 20 members or more. The colossal wolves are known to eat their prey alive just like hyenas. Just like other wolves back on Earth, these wolves are mostly nocturnal and would howl at a full moon. These wolves are very social and care about their young and packmates. They are fiercely protective of their offspring and attack whatever threatens them. These wolves are almost roughly the size of an Asiatic lion, but is more agile. One colossal wolf can be dangerous by itself and strong on its own, but in packs, these creatures are known to bring down prey ten times larger than themselves. These wolves typically prefer hunting for their food, but that doesn't mean they will turn down a free meal every now and then.
