An adult garm is truly monstrous, even to the magi who raise them. Large enough to swallow a man whole, a garm is immensely strong and will stop at nothing to get what it wants. When raised by a patient magi, these giant wolves can be loyal and restrained, but even so, the Keep holds a record of all garm owners and their animals to ensure none of these wolves wanders around unattended. They eat tremendous amounts of meat, but if well-fed, a garm is a powerful companion capable of running for days without stopping to rest and resistant to most magic spells as well. Their magic resistance, as well as their ferocious appearance, made them favored mounts by some dark wizards during the magewars.
There is only one place in the world where you can find garm, and most who travel there hope to find nearly anything but. The massive wolves prowl the wilderness around where Whitestone Crag is marked on maps, navigating caves and tunnels under the vast northern crevasses in the fog-covered glaciers. An old poem claims that there used to be more of these wolves, but an ancient northern civilization, frightened of their size, slaughtered all but two of them and bound these remaining ones in magical ribbon to guard the legendary diamond mine, though the garm were cleverer. It is said they used their magic to break and transform the bonds to decorate themselves with as marks of victory. Garm still haunt the region their ancestors were set to guard, and a small handful of treasure hunters have tried to use them to locate the mine. However, these creatures are vicious enough when raised in captivity; no one who has sought Whitestone Crag by following the wolves has ever returned to tell about it.
