Dire Wolves

Overview
Dire Wolves are a subspecies of Human (or possibly wolf) that are a rare case of a God being directly involved in creating a new, humanoid race. They are classified as Shifters and have two forms to chose from, one being Wolflike, and the other being virtually identical to Humans. The Goddess Mirah created the race by granting a small group of Humans the ability to take on the image of a wolf (or possibly wolves the ability to turn human), that small group moved into the mountains of the Spine and eventually became all modern Dire Wolf Clans.
