The greatest of the beasts is a strange wolf by any description. His fur is yellowish white, tightly curled, and soft to the touch. Though it has been centuries since his father just pet him. Such things are not done in Chaos. He resembles a sheep more than a sheep dog, though he would slay anyone who made the comparison in a way he understood. | The greatest of the beasts is a strange wolf by any description.

Her Wolf form is as a dirty black & brown beast, graying gracefully but ugly as a mongrel can be. She bears patches of white where wounds did not let the hair grow back in its normal color. The left side of its face is such a mark yet here patches also did not grow back fur, but are scared skin stretched taut over jaw, teeth, and brow. Its blue eyes are the color of the sky and its teeth are yellow and strong. Her human form is what horrified and saddens the court of Amber. She was once Dierdre but her experiences in the Abyss have changed her and she does not remember anything that occurred before the Abyss. | Her Wolf form is as a dirty black & brown beast, graying gracefully but ugly as a mongrel can be.

| − | Sleek, black & clean, swift. Horny. Third of the Pack. Was second for a long time but gladly stepped aside when Bruiser arrived. Tough and strong he manages the great pack that materializes at Fleece's call. A mighty fighter, cunning leader, and an amazingly fast runner. He may have a step above engine speed. He also is the commanding trainer of the vast pack of wolves that inhabits Forest Green. | + | Sleek, black & clean, swift. Horny. Third of the Pack.

| − | Ripper is a fearsome beast, human in intelligence, by far the smartest of the pack. He is the Mage of the group. He changes into a human form to hang spells and maintain them. He tends to catch on fire because of a curse-Susceptible to fire. He has grown to enjoy the feeling of being on fire, and the smell of burned fur & flesh. He has rune-inscribed claws that do Extreme Damage and are unhealable except by extreme measures. He has a yellow Mandalay stone | + | Ripper is a fearsome beast, human in intelligence, by far the smartest of the pack. He is the Mage of the group.

| − | His human form is not very good, sort of a wolf's view of human. Face smooth, hair scruffy, indistinct features mark a doll-like human form. He could do better if he chose to but Fleece has told him not to do so. Despite his human form | + | His human form is not very good, sort of a wolf's view of human.

Despite his human form one should never forget he is merely Fleece's mouthpiece. |
