Bio: Shadow wolves, also known as black shucks, are large subspecies of gray wolves native to Exotic Island. They are descendants of Florida black wolves, Cascade Mountain wolves, wolfdogs and feral dogs that were brought to Exotic Island and hybridized with each other, forming a new subspecies. Their ancestors also managed to survive the nuclear radiation. They are now slightly larger and stockier than their ancestors due to the nuclear radiation. They are measured 8 feet long, weighing up to 160 pounds. They are one of the most largest wolves that ever lived. They are now found throughout the steppes, lowlands, boreal forests, temperate grasslands, prairies, rocky mountains, pine forests, alpine grasslands, moorlands, alpine meadows, highlands, redwood forests, temperate woodlands, taiga forests, alpine meadows and highlands of Exotic Island. Shadow wolves are one of the most common wolves in Exotic Island. They have solid black coats, hence their name, but a grayish stripe which starts from the nose all the way to the point of the tail.
