Living World Of Terra

Commonly Known As: Timber Wolf

Species: Golem

Magic: Present

The Timber Wolves strictly reside in the Everfree Forest. They appear to be golems made of the local flora, mostly broken down tree trunks, branches and leaves. Some form of magic reanimates them and they search - hunt to kill. Due to the forests fog, it is quite easy to recognize them by the smell of rotting wood, sap and sometimes blood depending on how long the golem was 'alive' for and the poison green glow the creatures emit from their insides. They are able to blend in with the surroundings and dim some of the glow if they have a lot of leaves on their main body, but they can never mask the smell. When physically hurt, they are able to replace any damage with enough time and if any resources are around. I doubt the forest will run out of trees that cannot be burned anytime soon.

Just like regular wolves made of flesh and blood, these golems go around in packs, never alone. When they kill their prey, they make the corpse small enough if it is not already and pull it inside into their glowing insides before leaving the area. Any attempts at following them have failed, it as if they disappear into the ground, which may as well be possible. I may be going mad, but the one of the packs that I marked with colour bombs seems to have a patrol area. I will attempt further observation on that matter.

If a pack is big enough, it is able to merge into an Alpha Timber Wolf, a much bigger, faster and sturdier version of a normal Lignum Lupus. The Alpha then proceeds to find another pack to keep around itself against small and nimble threats. An Alpha appears to be able to reach any of the wolves in it's pack, via a mucous it secrets from it's spit or some other form of communication , except for noise. They never make any noise, not even howling. Nor the Alphas, nor the normal ones.

I manage to kill a group of three and it seems that it was permanent. Inside a Timber Wolf is a form of heart, properly beating and oozing a green sap-like substance that glows and reeks of the rotting smell. Upon my arrival on the next day, the three corpses have turned into three small bushes on the same exact spot I left them. One day there were flowers, but then the flowers disappeared, yet the bushes remained. Perhaps an animal ate them.

Note From The Author: Some of the packs that do not have a massive alpha with them do in fact have certain patrol paths. Question is: why?
