Aakors were a race of strange winged wolf.
Description[]
Aakor were not as large as a wolf, but physically were very similar, except for a magnificent pair of feathery wings that emerged from their shoulders. They could fly well, steering themselves about with their tails as their keen eyes would seek out food or prey below them. They would hunt in groups, flying high in the sky on their wings and howling in the moonlight.[1]
They usually lived upon prey such as a boar or perhaps a deer, but would not hesitate to hunt other creatures.
Aakor could prove to be dangerous foes as they would swoop down on travellers, with their claws ready to grab their next meal. They would then each single out one particular target, land on them and sink their fangs in. Once their prey has been finished off, they will pause to consume the blood before tearing the carcass apart and devouring it.[1]
Origins and Distribution[]
They perhaps once been ordinary wolves, before they gained their wings and their love of warm blood.
It is likely that they are the remnants of some sorcerous experiment by a forgotten wizard centuries ago.[1]
Aakor had been sighted in the kingdom of Femphrey, suggesting that could be found in numbers within certain areas of the Old World.
Further Notes[]
Aakor swooping in to attack.
- Aakor is both the singular and plural form of name for this creature.[1]
- For a long time, they were one of those rare creatures that occurred in Out of the Pit but nowhere else in official Titan canon. This is no longer the case, since they can be fought in Stormslayer[2].
