While the rhydan ancestry in Chapter VIII has certain limits on a rhydan\xe2\x80\x99s beast form, this template can be applied to any beast, as the Game Master sees fit. \n'b' Rhy-wolves are particularly found throughout the northern woodlands and mountains of the Western Lands. \n'b' They are fierce enemies of Shadow in their territories, protecting their chosen packs. Rhy-wolves are drawn to communities and companionship, often cooperating with forest villages and finding friends and bonded companions among their people.'
