These abnormally intelligent hounds are the descendants of the legendary Fenris, an ancient dire wolf owned by a forgotten soldier. These hounds are prized for their intelligence, size, and loyalty. Some believe the hounds to be holy or at least magical, as they always seem to be alert to dangers and have an uncanny ability to appear exactly when and where they need to.
Averaging 5 foot at the shoulder, they are typically grey with a black streak on their backs, pointed ears, and bushy tails. They will imprint on their owners for life, only transferring their loyalty to their masters descendants if their original master dies. The oldest Fenris Hound ever recorded was over 40 years old before passing naturally.
