Varkolac

Varkolacs are large aggressive predators that are closely related to Wulvers. They are the result of a failed experiment to create more efficient infantry in combat. They can not speak and show very minimal signs of ever once being a human. They are cruel, ruthless, and will do anything for a meal.

Appearance
Varkolacs are large semi-humanoid creatures that are very wolf-like. They have thick fur that can be silver, grey, white, black, or sometimes brown. Spots and stripes are not uncommon. They are built like humans but are much larger with some individuals reaching ten feet in height. They can walk on their hind legs but do not unless in a fight, while roaming they tend to just walk on all four legs. They have opposable thumbs that allow for more motor control. This feature allows more inventive individuals to utilize simple weapons such as clubs.

Behaviour
Varkolacs sleep during the morning and mid-day, and awaken in the late afternoon. They then roam the landscape searching for a meal. Varkolacs will eat any large mammal but tend to not prey on reptiles or insects. They do not eat plants of any kind unlike their more docile brethren. Varkolacs have a relatively large brain and have great memories. They can remember places, people, smells, even voices, and sounds.

A Varkolac fills the apex predator role most of the time. It is outclassed by the largest dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus Rex and Napths if considered animals but Napths are more accurately described as forces of nature.

Varkolacs have been observed being cruel to sentient prey. Keeping them alive and making them suffer by removing non-vital limbs or by beating them just to cause pain.
