They're familiar, yet dangerous. They're a predator people know, because like dogs, they're just about everywhere.

And much like edgelords fancy themselves to be, they're often feared and hated by peasants, villified for taking cattles though nowadays that's mostly dogs and the spawn of interbreeding between dogs and wild canines like wolves and coyotes.

On top of all that there's the Alpha/Betas/Omega thing so they can feel superior to others by viewing themselves as an Alpha, or a badass loner by comparing themselves to a lone wolf. While utterly ignoring that Alpha, etc. don't exist in wild wolf packs because they're literally just familial units, Alpha/Omega behavior only occurs in unrelated adults. And, of course, ignoring that "lone wolves" are unsuccessful wolves who can't attract a mate and tend to live meager existences until they eventually die.

tl;dr, familiarity and a fundamental misunderstanding of how the creature they identify with actually behaves

>>50171624

>>50171405
It's probably cause they can look cute like a dog and can be really dangerous.
But I'd bet the main thing is they jerk off super hard about the idea of being a "lone wolf."
They probably think lone wolves are wandering badasses that just don't belong in a group, making them stronger then the rest because they have to provide / protect themselves.

This makes me think. A rather weak, socially Autistic even by wolf standards, awakened Lone Wolf, saved from a fate of dying alone and unloved, by a somewhat Mad wizard who needed a guinea pig.

Now he must use this second chance to fix the failures of his previous life, and find learn to understand the concepts of family, friendship and teamwork, lest he get left behind again.

It would be like you're playing the edge Lord himself.

>>50171405
there's a common misconception that wolves are angsty loners, based on phrase "lone wolf", I believe, and the fact that wolves were mostly seen by humans in winters, when driven by hunger to steal cattle, which made them seem savage

except that wolves are fiercely pack animals, lone wolf is psychically broken animal, and they avoid humans (like most animals do) when they have enough food and you don't threaten the cubs. they are also likely to sacrifice themselves for their mates and young

tl;dr normal wolves are as non-edgy as is possible for wild predator, and edgelords are being idiots following cliches and misconceptions

Crocodiles. They (sort of) never stop growing, they can kill almost anything, and they can eat whatever they kill, no matter how long it's been. They are very, VERY hard to kill, to the point where older crocodiles are bulletproof to most calibres. There are very few animals I would bet on in a direct fight with an old, powerful crocodile.

I wish I knew anon. Bears are just badass and every civilization that isn't Sub-Saharan/Australonesian knows of them I believe. But I guess muh Lions/dragons/eagles are better for some reason.

I can't help it, I really just thing of bears as bigger/wilder dogs, which is totally going to get me killed if I'd ever treat a wild bear like that, or even a "tame" (zoo) bear.

They do appear. Not as frequently as other animals, but they do appear. Partially it's because the bear used to be considered somewhat demonic, and not something you'd want representing you.

perhaps same reason some tribes had a taboo on hunting bears, or made a ritual of hunting bears, or whatever - because bear is very man-like. it's intelligent, it can walk on two legs, it eats all sorts of stuff, instead of just meat or just grass.

you don't put men on heraldry, and so some tribes didn't put bears on heraldry

>>50172513
What, there are tons of men on heraldry. Mostly knights, or limbs like the Isle of Man has 3 fucking legs as their heraldry.

The kind who keeps up with the scientific community, anon. The idea was first pioneered in the late 1940's, then really set off by a fellow by the name of David Mech, with his book "The Wolf: The Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species."

Only later studies, first in the late 1990's and then later on still we realized that was all bullshit and it isn't how it works at all, that wolves don't have some complex social hierarchy - it's just two wolves mating, forming a pack out of their children, and those eventually dispersing as they come of age to find other dispersed wolves and form their own packs.

Mech even OUTRIGHT ADMITS HE WAS WRONG and that his book is out of date on his very own website: http://www.davemech.org/news.html and on top of -that- he's made numerous requests to the publisher to stop publishing it.

Shit's so wrong even the guy who who wrote it is trying to stop being from repeating it.

The real kicker would be that this "awakened lone Wolf" would probably have a deep seeded hatred of regular wolves.

To him, they would be the ones who cast him out and condemned him to a life of isolation and scavenging for meager scraps. To him, they would be the Reason that he is an unwanted pariah, rather than his own faults and failures being the cause of it.

They would be the ones living the fulfilling, successful lives that HE deserved. Just the mix of Bitterness and Envy and the feelings of Betrayal he felt when they scorned him, would coagulate into a caustic, burning, hatred towards regular wolves, that his old animal mind was. Ever capable of.

Holy shit, this really would be like playing the party edgelord. And by that I don't mean the character he would make, I mean the Edgelord IRL!

PErsonally, I've never likes making wolves into creatures about feral strength or loneliness, that's more of Jaguar or Bear thing.

When I work with wolves, or include them in a character, I like to emphasize their cooperative nature, focus on a tight-knight family or group, and make them more about adaptability and survivability.

Because, honestly, the members of Genus Canis are not the smartest, fastest, strongest, meanest, or toughest froup of animals, but they almost universally are great when it comes to teamwork, cooperation, and long distribution and resource use. Pretty close to humans when it comes to mammals that are neither Primates nor Rodents when you think about it, and is probably one of the reasons why we were able to domesticate them so well.

That being said, Wolf is overrated canine, African Hunting Dog is GOAT

Well that's because often times wolves will spend less time hunting big game and will supplement their diet with rats, shrews, gohpers, fish, and occasionally tubers. They're just not as specialized at hunting as the Wild Dogs
At least they aren't Maned Wolves, who's diet is around 50% vegetable matter, with the rest being grasshoppers, mice, and birds

It's more like human culture has assigned particular human traits and characteristics to different types of animals, and will often then use their exaggerations to form further linguistic ideas (like when you call someone "catty" or "bull-headed")

Furries, however, have an autistic problem where rather than understanding the basic traits that we assign to animals, have mentally reversed the order, and instead associate behaviors and traits to animals, and then assign said traits to humans via the metaphorical link to animals

in other words
>Normal person
Animal has X, Y, and Z traits, this reminds me of this kind of person.
>Furry
This person has X, Y, and Z traits, this reminds of of these same traits which I associate with this kind of animal.

This can often be attributed to a lacking social and associative development in early years, as well in some cases can be indicative with a lack of ability to connect with other people his his native society. Hence why people, with aspergers and autism tend to become furries since associating concepts and traits with animals tends to be easier for them than tiring to relate and associate them with humans, since animals tend to be predictable while humans are erratic.

Makes sense?

I'll give you 'muh lone wolf' or 'muh alpha wolf' autists, but the idea of pack hunters is compelling.
I mean, I have an original-setting pantheon where the LE god of war and battle is associated with a wolf. Not because he or his followers are the 'alpha', but because they fight for their 'pack' and aren't concerned about the needs of their 'prey'. He's cruel and exploitative, but he doesn't screw over his allies for no reason.

Anything heavily seen as omens of death and dying. Crows, vultures, that sort of thing.

>>50175755
Crows are common but vultures are severely underrated. I guess no one wants to be seen as a scavenger or opportunist, but I think it's a fucking cool theme for a character and both of those things are interesting negative characteristics. Vultures also look cool as fuck.

Ravens are like that too but bigger

>>50175755
Crows are in the same category of edgyness as wolves: faux edgy.

what is the difference between a raven and a crow ?

dis nigga knows whats up

>>50175872
Crows are small, medium to thin body shape, and have long, thin beaks
Ravens are big, thick-bodied, and have short thick beaks. Some even have white stripes on their wings
Also distribution is different too.

>>50175844
Smart, yes, but still seen as omens of "somebody gon' die today, the crows are waiting to feast on their flesh."

They're really bad at PR is what's happened.

>>50175872

They're different birds. Ravens are much larger, and solitary, while crows live in groups.

>>50175920
>>50175890
so who is the coolest Raven or Crow ?

>>50175864
Blame Northern Europe. Everywhere from Norway to Eire they kept getting associated with death gods and war gods.

A group of crows is even called a "murder" for crying out loud.

Same deal for ravens, but you can also blame Poe.

>>50175583
Something that's soft on the inside, tends to be a bottom feeder and wears a hat, like a hermit crab.

I guess a skunk could also work for all the obvious reasons.

>>50175928
Raven
While I was in Lost Maples state park in Texas and hiking at the top of the hills, a big raven swooped over head about 3 feet, with its haunting baritone caw.
He then landed on a nearby branch, and stared at me for a while.
It was so cool.

Spiders aren't edgy.

>Bears
Brute strength and near monsterous temperament when angered. Also incredibly territorial.
>Lions
Muh nobility. Not too many other different reasons
>Crows
Crafty and work in groups. Smart fuckers too, and can puzzlesolve almost as well as preteens.
>Snakes
Easily hidden and ambush predators, scary as fuck too.
>Wolves
Mostly the pack huntig, fearsome and beastial appearance when threatened. Mauls people to bits so it's got the likeness of a demonic animal to some.

The mask experiment? The one where people wearing a Nixon mask would fuck with crows, then when someone else put on a similar mask, the crows would attack him?

>>50171405
the one character I made that was raised by wolves couldn't speak to the party for a good portion of the game, he acted as if he was just a wolf, running around on all fours, using his nails and teeth to fight enemies, he would refuse to eat food the party offered to him and go hunt down a wild animal for food.

Eventually one of the party members succeeded in teaching him a language (It was celestial, go figure)
eventually he learns how to speak common through an Aasimar the party runs into.

It was a fun character, he would bring the party members he liked a dead rabbit in the morning.

He was just a kid who ran away from a good home into a den of wolves who raised him as if he was one of their own pups, anyways edge rate?

>>50176327
Yep. Those crows' children also hated the mask.

>>50177285
Aardwolves tend to live and raise their offspring in pairs, yet those pairs tend to fuck other aardwolves too. This results in pairs raising children that aren't the male's.

>>50177311
what a bunch of degenerates

>>50177285
Males may stealthily impregnate a female paired to a lazymale that isn't watching his gurl, and post birth, in general the males watch the offspring while the female gathers.

At the sanctuary the photo was taken they'd sometimes give the wolves watermelons as a treat. They really enjoy them, probably because it's a big meaty fruit they can tear up and stuff.

>>50172213
>carlos.jpg

>>50173542
but their meat is considered a delicacy. although that may be more due to their dangerousness, I suppose. shouldn't taste much different than pork or human flesh.

>>50175937
It's because crows will eat the fless of the dead or the dying and was sometimes used as a form of execution.

I'm sure you've heard the phrases "crow food", or "leaving them from the crows" used before
