Vicious pack hunters with stiletto limbs, pinwolves are a seemingly omnipresent threat across the reaches and territories of the wildsea.
Use Pinwolves If…
You want the crew to face something swift and uncanny that attacks in groups.
Descriptive Cues
Sight: They move in fits and bursts, more like small birds than wolves. Long twitching tongues. Rough, coarse fur and smooth skin underneath.
Sound: The sharp impacts of their pin-like limbs on metal. Hissing when they’re readying themselves to attack, whining and yelping when they’re hurt. Scraping and skittering if they move over metal.
Smell: Musky – a mixture of sweat and old blood.
Taste: Pinwolf meat is tough, and tastes bitter unless charred or fried (when it’s then surprisingly buttery).
Moves, Damage & Effects
Climbing: Pinwolves can climb any surface their limbs can punch into, such as flesh or wood. Metal gives them more problems, but larger specimens may be able to punch foot-holds into it with their limbs.
Charges: Lightning fast sprints to knock targets off balance (Blunt / Knockdown).
Bites: Pinwolf mouths are designed to latch on and tear if things try to pull away. (Serrated)
Stamps: ‘Impales’ might be a better word, using their pin-like limbs to pierce their targets (Spike)
