Molves

Molves are also called herder-wolves. The word molf is from the words monster and wolf put together. These creatures were created when Ya-Shuur made a she-wolf able to mate with Vakk's monster and then they were born. There were six of them in that first litter. They are an extraordinary species and cost 3 might points. Because Ya-Shuur was near them when they were born they became socialized to him and because of the monster's effect they are domesticated. 
They are huge creatures and from snout to tail-tip they are 8.8 metres long and 2 metres tall on average. Some are entirely white and some are entirely black and some are mottled. Their skin is very hard and difficult to cut and their bones are strong. They can fly. They are very good trackers. They have a tail with sharp protrusions that they can bludgeon with. They are also very fast both when running and when flying though they were much faster when flying. They can fly at speeds of 140 km/h and they can run at speeds of 90 km/h. They can accelerate from a speed of 0 to 45 km/h in 10 seconds. 
Their bite and teeth are very strong like their sire's and they can open their jaws far wider than normal for a wolf. They are digitigrade and their claws are also thick like their sire's. Unlike wolves their huge claws are protractible and their paws are more versatile like a big cat's. They are very obedient to their owner and very intelligent. So with good training they became brilliant herding animals with Ya-Shuur's help but they would excel in other things if they are reared to do them instead. Their absolute loyalty has the opposite side of their suspicion and hostility to anything foreign. In the case of Ya-Shuur's molves, anything other than the goats and the fellow wolves immediately received hostile attention. 
Because Ya-Shuur trained them not to kill but scare off potential predators they knew not to attack immediately. But their natural suspicion sets in if a stranger does not go away after being warned in which case they become lethal. They are strong on their own but are even more effective together because they are natural pack animals because of their wolf ancestry. Like wolves they are monogamous unless their partner dies in which case they got another partner.
