Physical Description: Large muscular wolves with dark think coats of dark purple fur, and large almost transparent fangs. Their eyes have the glow of spiritual energy and seem to change colors based on what the person observing them is feeling.

Size: 3-3.5 feet from foot to shoulder. 6-7 feet in length.

Location: Most common near the mountains of the central islands, but they have been spotted hunting all across the Baji Isles.

How common: Rare most seasons, but are seen more frequently in the winter months though they are still uncommon.
Diet: Flesh of any creature they can catch. They only eat the meat if it was killed within the last half hour, while its essence still clings to the flesh.
Threat: An individual of this type of Okami is capable of easily killing an unarmored human with its powerful jaws alone. While a more athletic human could fight one off, their ability to close gaps with a short distance teleport means they will almost always get the drop on their prey. If one can dodge the teleport lunge, one can easily kill one with any of the common weapons. Their most threatening aspect however is that they travel in packs of up to 20 okami all hidden within the shroud of mist they produce, meaning they can often make short work of groups of all but very experienced warriors.
Lifespan: Unknown

Behavior: How they act in the spirit realm is unknown, for they are only seen on the surface when hunting. They appear out of nowhere, magical sensations filling the air as a thick mist begins to move across the land, within it dozens of the wolves sprint and teleport around in chase of whatever their prey is. They are frightened by magic flames and many small villages use it to keep them away, but undefended villages have had heavy losses from packs in the past. They will attack almost any animal, save for those born of even greater magic such as Kaiju. Of the intelligent races they seem to prefer the taste of Tengu, but freely hunt Humans and Neko as well (the part human nekos and man sized Bakeneko. Not Nekomata). They will hunt young Oni but adults can often scare them off, though larger packs will attack to fight Oni as well if they are desperate.

Naji: They are friends of one another, as they share a long history with the Naji leaders often looking up to Shima as spiritual leaders. Even today Ryuu Naji wants Shima to be the religious leaders of the new nation he wants to create. Their relationship is slightly strained thanks to Shima refusing to go to war for them, but Ryyu Naji still greatly respects them so they are expected to stay friends for at least his lifetime even if some of his followers are less pleased.

Hojo: They have engaged in brief skirmishes aiding other allies of theirs, or as a result of Hojo mercenaries aiding bandits and such, but neither has declared real war on the other or has attacked settlements belonging to them. Shima is on guard and very wary of the nearby Hojo villages but so far they only engage via their ventures with other clans often being at odds with each other. Hojo doesn't find directly fighting Shima profitable and Shima finds fighting a clan with that much outside backing too risky.

Nakaki: They have not encountered one another yet.

Ka-Tu Tribe:They don't interact much, but coexist peacefully. Shima is glad that the Oni King mostly keeps Oni though they want him to take it farther and start the race on a path of peace instead of just more selective violence. Oni King finds them weak but has a degree of respect for them due to the fact that they have historically been accepting of their half-Oni clanmates instead of abusing or abandoning them like many others. The Ka-Tu find no reason to bother Shima settlements but also don't give them any special treatment or consideration.

Ina: They are at war with one another, with Ina holding an extreme hatred towards Shima. Shima finds them a clan composed of savages and has given up all hopes of peace as the Ina Clan has attacked every representative they sent who has tried to negotiate with them.

Sinkara: They are friends and allies. They trade often and their citizens freely marry one another with no stigma or drama from either sides family. Shima has sworn to help defend them, as they have a larger military and they are one of the few clans that Shima will go to war for.

Ru: Shima respects Ru for managing to stay itself for so long, and be untainted by the shadow of the much larger clans all around it. Ru is indifferent towards Shima, they are glad that the clan isn't aggressive but beyond that don't really care.
