Dire Wolf

Dire wolves grew to about 9 feet long and weighed up to 800 lbs., about the size of a horse. They had thick fur that was mottled grey or black in color, and they had eyes like fire.   Dire wolves are far more aggressive than normal wolves, attacking and killing anything they could catch. They can be found singly as lone wolves or in packs numbering five to eight dire wolves.  
"That howling? Dire wolves—or 'shells' caught in their jaws, who want all Barovia to know they're dying. They could let me sleep, inconsiderate dolts."
