Wolf Dragon
The Wolf Dragon is an intelligent, efficient hunter, just like its mammalian namesake. This predator stalks its prey with all the cunning of the wolf… but it’s much larger and more powerful.

The Wolf Dragon, with its low slung profile, pawed feet, and slender muzzle, quite resembles a Gray Wolf. Or it would, were it not for the long tail, scaly body, and large bat-like wings.
It is most often seen slinking in a hunting position, eyes fixated on its intended victim.
It is sometimes said that if a dragon spends enough time around a certain type of animal or mythical creature, it will begin to assume the traits of that animal. Other dragons, like the Fairy Dragon and Gnome Dragon just to name a few, seem to resemble the beings they spend most of their time with.
This would seem to explain the lupine Wolf Dragon, which is often seen in the company of wolves. It is said that if a Wolf Dragon joins a pack of wolves, it immediately becomes the Alpha, and all other wolves will obey it.
Wolf Dragons are thankfully rarely encountered, but often if travelers encounter a wolf pack led by a Wolf Dragon, they typically aren’t heard from again. Being hunted by a pack of wolves is no picnic, but when those wolves are led by an Alpha Wolf Dragon, the chances of survival shrink dramatically.
