:: About Shade Wolves ::
Shade Wolves are a closed fantasy species created by myself and Brokenwolf on chatlands. It is not available for public use.
You can either be born a Shade wolf, or be 'blessed' as one. [Turned into one.] Only Brokenwolf and her kin have the power to turn another regular wolf into a Shade wolf.
Shade wolves often dwell in the shadows, and blend in with the darkness that surrounds them. They are excellent when it comes to combat, and don't give up on a fight.
:: Origins ::
This wild species of canine is native to and found in the barren wind swept ice fields and plains in the desolate far far northern region of the world. Here it is unforgiving roughly someplace near the arctic circle. It is located here to which the wolves keep to the rare granite and limestone formations that spot the other wise empty vast landscape. These wolves much rather prefer the darkness to light; mainly slinking around crevices and caves.

:: Qualities ::
Shade wolves commonly don overly sized paws that are webbed more so then other species of wild canines like the timber wolf. This adaptive trait makes for easier travel across the sometimes extremely deep snow drift and banks that accumulate after a blizzard. Their nails or claws are always black in color significant to this certain canine. The nails grow up to 3 1/2 inches long but curve sharply like the talons of a mighty bird of prey; which aids in all sorts of nessciary things and activities these wolves preform daily, like fighting for land or to protect the pack, as well as hunting, den crafting, marking boarders with scratch marks, and so on. They are overly tall standing up, with well muscled legs to support thier behemoth stature. Their stomach or underbelly region is slender and pinches in tightly near the hind quarters starting point. If looking form above, one can clearly see this themselves. Tails range from bobbed style, to over 7-7 1/2 feet in length. It is very bushy thick and naturally arches when raised over the back side by the wolf.
