A toothmarked battler, precise and unfettered, "Nippaitok" is a wolf to be regarded with an air of caution. Even at rest he is a fearsome Goliath; a ponderous, razor-faced male with ancient yellow eyes and a double-layered coat of naturally stained ivory. Courage conformed by some of the most savage wolves on earth, this hypercarnivore is a warrior built sturdily in the likeness of a great, stone-carved stallion: spiring, barrel-chested, mighty -- and mute.
