Dire Wolf

Dire Wolves are considered to be the greatest children of Gauros. They are large, wolf-like creatures about the size of a horse, with a dense hide and bony protrusions. They are the favored mounts of Kyn, who possess the fiercest breeds. They are perhaps the finest combat mount, as while not as fast as a talorn, they are fearless and savage in combat.

Curiously in Xhalandar they are instead bred mostly to fight each other for gambling.
