Wolzeal
A hybrid of Wolf + Weasel
The Wolzeal is a fascinating hybrid creature, combining the robust physique of a wolf with the sleek agility of a weasel. It possesses a lithe body, covered in dense, mottled fur that transitions from a grayish-brown on its back to a creamy white on its underbelly.
