The myth
The úlfheðnar, wolf-coats, were warriors much like the berserkir. The skaldic poem Haraldskvæði, about the Norwegian king Harald Fairhair, speaks of them as elite troops bearing bloodied shields, and Icelandic sagas mention them too. Just as the berserkir were tied to the bear, the úlfheðnar were associated with the wolf and with Odin, god of warriors in trance. Bronze plates from Torslunda in Sweden show a figure dressed in a wolf's skin and head beside a dancer in a horned helmet.
Why it has this power
A level 3 Common with ATK 1200 and DEF 900: aggressive, like a man who is no longer only a man. A Beast-Warrior: Darkness element, under Moon and Bull, the night and the wolf's strength. It benefits from both the Runic Bearded Axe and the Wolf-Fang Torc, which serve both sides of its nature.
Did you know
Úlfheðinn joins úlfr, wolf, and heðinn, a fur garment: literally, the one who wears the wolf.
