Literature

Fiction

Wolves in fantasy

Wolves are traditionally given the role of villains in fantasy literature; examples include J. R. R. Tolkien's White Wolves that terrorise the Shire during an exceptionally cold winter, and the Wargs that are in league with the Orcs, in addition to Maugrim of C. S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Recently, however, wolves have increasingly been given the role of heroes in literary works. An example of this kind of portrayal is The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander, in where there are two wolf characters in it, Brynach and Briavel, who are on the "good side" and communicate with humans.

Jane Louise Curry depicted wolves in The Wolves of Aam who prove to be heroic. In the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, wolves are portrayed as highly intelligent animals having a strict code of honour, with whom some non-lupine characters can communicate using a visual-mental system which is the usual method of communication between wolves. In one book in the series Redwall, Brian Jacques depicted a wolf as a victim who froze to death in the winter mountains; half a season later, a fox came along and skinned him, claiming to have killed the wolf himself. In The Belgariad the two main characters, Belgarath and Belgarion are both associated with wolves as it is a preferred form that they can assume. In the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin, the main noble house of the series, the Starks, have a wolf as their family symbol and adopt a group of young wolf cubs, with each of the Stark children sharing a bond and certain characteristics with their personal cub. In the musical Crying Wolf the wolves are protagonists and the humans antagonists.

A critically acclaimed fantasy novel, The Sight by David Clement-Davies, tells the story of a white she-wolf named Larka who is destined to stop her evil aunt Morgra from using dark magic to take over the world and the afterlife.

The Pellinor saga by Alison Croggon features a pack of wolves who voluntarily serve the necromancer Inka-Reb, and depicts the faerie queen Ardina assuming the form of a wolf. Lycanthropy is also practiced by the main character Maerad, who is a descendant of Ardina.

A prowling, possessed timber wolf stalks and attacks several of the main protagonists in Stephen King's apocalyptic novel Desperation

Anthropomorphic wolves take a central role in the French comic book series Le Bois de Vierges, created by authors Jean Dufaux (writer) and Béatrice Tillier (artist), and published by Robert Laffont Fantastique.
