Direwolves

Description
Direwolves are stoic and competitive, often used in place of horses is some areas due to their strength. They are often trained to work on hazardous jobs that require agility, but also strength but are also favorable partners for both Winged and Humans.

Social Structure
Direwolves often live in small packs, with anywhere between 5 to 14 wolves in one pack. There are instances of wild loner direwolves or larger packs but these can be quite rare. When domesticated, they do prefer a companion to be with, human or otherwise, but are fine with being by themselves. They actually don't need much care and can fend for themselves after 9 months of being born, although not keeping them content could result in them running away. Communicating usually consists of grunts, barks and howls but they can serve as indicators of emotion as well.
