One of the oldest, strongest and most legendary of the fey, Wolf is best known for his role in several oft-told mortal fairy tales. The ultimate hunter, Wolf will sometimes take on a personal hunt for the right favor. He first encounters Meghan and Ash when he hunts them at the request of Oberon, in order to save Meghan from her supposed abduction into the Winter Realm. He later accompanies Ash on his quest to find the End of the World and prove himself worthy of a soul.

Underneath Wolf’s frightening exterior beats a loyal heart, as he shows when he sacrifices himself to keep the door to the Gauntlet open long enough for everyone else to get out. Wolf favors the openness of the Deep Wyld and has a long-standing offer to eat Grimalkin, should the faery cat ever give him the opportunity.

Glossary

amulet: A pendant created with the essence of an Iron fey inside it that protects traditional fey from being slowly poisoned when they must go into the Iron Realm for any length of time. The Iron fey dies in the creation of an amulet.

bean sidhe: A faery that foretells death with an eerie, loud and terrifying wail. Hope that you never hear one.

boggart: A faery that attaches itself to a human household with ill intent, causing food to sour, animals to go lame and playing other nasty tricks on the inhabitants. Rumor has it a boggart will follow a family that tries to flee to a new home. You do not want one of these.

bogey: Often confused for a boggart, this faery hides under beds and in closets and jumps out to scare humans.

brownie: A shy faery who does household tasks in secret, often late at night, usually with other brownies. Brownies are said to love porridge and honey. They are quite wonderful to have around when you treat them well.

bug: A tiny, insectlike flying Iron faery that can be placed in a human’s or faery’s brain and used to control them. Traditional fey are poisoned and driven mad by a bug.

cait sith: A catlike faery often reported to be black with a white spot on its chest. Some legends say a cait sith is not a faery at all but a transformed witch. [Human, stop. You are getting it wrong and the best thing to do with a cait sith is to let it remain a mystery. Honestly. Black with a white spot? A witch? I despair.]

catoblepas: A four-legged animal with a bull or boarlike head that is so large and heavy, the animal can only look down.

changeling: A faery offspring that has been left in place of a human child. The changeling takes on the look of the stolen child, but may not initially show the correct characteristics, causing confusion, consternation and even danger. Should you suddenly begin to display mysterious, otherworldly behavior, you may be a changeling. Or a teenager.
