These little ones are voracious eaters, and not very picky. They eat any prey they can catch, but are also equally happy with munching on twigs and leaves. Timber wolf hatchlings are raised by adults for a full year, during which time they are taught the skills they need to survive. These lessons are often turned into games, with wolf hatchlings learning to hunt through play. It's best not to engage them when they play these games, as their teeth are incredibly sharp and they are often too enthusiastic. With other humans, though, timber wolf hatchlings are skittish. Should someone approach them too suddenly, they will dart off further into the woods.
Timber wolves never leave the comfort of forests, and can be difficult to find. Some villagers say they are not creatures at all, but forest spirits that allow themselves to be seen. The common tale is that timber wolves are actually trees, and can meld seamlessly with other trees in the space of a single heartbeat. Though no one has ever witnessed such magic, it is true that timber wolves can evade humans very well. This skill is mostly due to their very strange fur. This fur is made of bark, although it is very strong. Their bright green tails are actually made of moss, which grows from them. Adults have crests around their necks, which grow as timber wolves age. Should one of these branches be broken, the timber wolf can simply regrow it. These companions can also grow new limbs, though the process takes them a few moons. It's rare that timber wolves become injured in the first place, though, as they are not edible targets for predators, or easy to attack. These companions are known to be quite peaceful, and the only times they are ever angered is when their woods are hurt. Should a person repeatedly harm the forest, timber wolves will lash out at them.
