===The Wolf of the World's Ending===
A being of enormous size and unlimited destructive potential.  The legends describe this entity as a wolf, which is bound about with chains of red-hot iron, and trapped in the very center of the world.  This description is largely poetic, although not completely inaccurate.  The creature has indeed been imprisoned, by who knows what power, at the planet's core.  All educated people know that the Wolf is the root of lycanthropy, as it sends dreams of beastial madness up to the people on the surface of the world.  These dreams are of such power that they can not only unhinge the mind, but also contort the body into a supernormal wolf, or some other animal shape that is sufficiently rooted in the Jungian realm.  The prophecies that the Wolf's eventual escape from its prison will shatter the world into splinters is, unfortunately, probably accurate.  However, by monitoring the activity of volcanic eruptions (caused, of course, by the Wolf's struggles and contortions), sages estimate it will be at least ten thousand years before there's anything to worry about.
