PFS StandardWinter Wolf

Winter wolves are related to wargs, but are larger, smarter, and far more dangerous. They are capable of exhaling plumes of freezing breath and are big enough to easily serve as mounts for orcs and hobgoblins—provided the winter wolf is willing, of course. Like wargs, winter wolves hunt in packs, but unlike their smaller cousins, they have a notable proud streak. When they deign to serve others, they reserve this privilege for larger and more dangerous creatures such as frost giants, renegade yetis, or even white dragons.

The warg is an intelligent and malevolent wolf that dwells among goblins, hobgoblins, orcs, and other violent humanoids.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Warg Legends

Wargs are the subject of many grim tales and campfire stories. Frightening accounts of wargs gobbling up children whole have a disturbing basis in fact, for these ravenous creatures have jaws that can unhinge like those of a serpent to gulp down small prey while the victim yet lives.
