I'm a little concerned. In this game, your relationship with the king and your motivation for revenge really should be at the heart of your character. Exotic races are fine and dandy, but only if they serve some kind of purpose. If you really only wanted to play a wolf, for example, roleplaygateway has [i]tons[/i] of wolf pack games (and I don't mean this to be derogatory in any way). If you really only wanted to play a magical beast of some sort, there's no need to restrain yourself to dogs and wolves - you can play a three-headed pink giraffe if you want (if you can convince me it's not a joke character, that is - this isn't that kind of game!).

My issue with the three-eyed wolf-thing is that I'm not seeing a strong theme, and I'm not seeing the underlying reasons you want to play this thing, except that it lets you play a dog-like creature that still has a convenient way to speak to the party. I can imagine a hundred ways any of these things could be done well, but I have no idea what you're trying to achieve. I have a creeping suspicion we're not on the same page at all, but I'll await your reply before I make any hasty assumptions.
