Behaviors

We try to think of our pack as close to real wolves as possible. (with the exception of speaking of course). Below are some common behaviors that wolves exhibit. If you don't know much about wolves please use this as a reference while RPing with us.

Submission

A wolf will submit to another wolf when it shows respect or has lost against that wolf in a fight. It isn't quite fear but a little more uniform. The alphas often require submission as a sign of respect and dominance.

The Attack

This wolf is ready to leap and attack. Notice the position of the ears and tail. Often in this situation the wolf and which ever adversary it may be facing will pause and have a short stalemate until one of the animals either attacks or stands down.

Defense

This wolf is taking a defensive stand against whatever enemy it may be fighting. The ears are tucked back, the body braced. This wolf may not want a fight but rather be trying to ward off an enemy. This may be accompanied by growling or snarling.

Wrestling

These wolves are wrestling. One wolf has the other pinned by it's shoulder and is showing dominance. Notice his tail is high declaring his victory.

Playfulness

This wolf is ready for some fun. His ears are perky and his tail right in the middle. His body crouched ready to playfully leap.

Fear

This wolf is running in fear, most probably from an enemy it could not overcome. Sadly, one of the wolves biggest enemies is humanity.

Playing

This wolf is running playfully and happily along. It may wrestle or play with another member of it's pack.

Dominance

These wolves show dominance in play. Notice how one wolf shrugs in respect under the shadow of it's superior. The dominant wolf is most likely an alpha and the submissive one a pack member under his command.
