I always thought that rule applied to wild fauna NPCs specifically, because we had instances in the past of people using NPC animals for information (birds) and pack protection (apex predators) and had to curb that. Neither packs or characters should ever be able to use NPCs for any kind of advantage, wolf or wild fauna, imo.

But it wouldn't make sense to tell a player that their written character can't participate in whatever fashion they want, whether it's a wolf or a bear, beyond natural confines, i.e. bears can't join wolf packs. If I'm writing a bear and I want it to ally with a pack and attack another pack, why should I need special permission for that? Most wild fauna are not overpowered compared to wolves. A bear will destroy a single wolf, but it will lose to a wolf pack the vast majority of the time, for example, which is also true of elk and moose and other wolf prey animals. That is exactly why wolves live in packs.

If it applies to played Wild Fauna characters as well, that seems unnecessarily restrictive for a situation that might happen rarely, if ever. I can see how it could become problematic if multiple WF are teaming up with a specific pack, but I don't think it ever would, and would make more sense to address case by case?
