Hati
Stories have been told of Hati being both Male and female. The story of Hati is told mostly by mothers and grandmothers to their children to both frighten lessons into them and to strengthen them through fear.
The last wolf. A child that was thrown out from the pack for being too large, too ravenous and dangerous in order to ensure the survival of the rest. Hati was thought to be dead, but survived and has become the "Culler" of the packs. Hati lives to kills and drive out the weak, the old and the sick from the packs, so that the survival of the packs are ensured.
Hati is known to the tribes as "The Shadow" or "The Ghost" and is spoken of in hushed tones and threats to ensure good behavior among children. Most adults do not believe in this wolf, but they use the fear of the unknown wolf to make the children behave. "Eat your food or the Ghost will snatch you up".
Hati chooses one human in order to serve as his vessel among the others of their race. This human is often unwilling, and unbeliever and apart from his homeland and family. Usually there is something physically or mentally wrong with them as well, either due to a horrendous appearance, or incredible instability. This person is instilled with the need, the desire and the strength to ensure that everything is done "for the greater good". No solution is too harsh, and no blood is enough for this chosen person. They love battle and death, but are driven by a greater purpose, though they might not know it.
There are some who believe that the Ghost is pure white. Others think it takes after its Father, appearing as a gray wolf, and that the ghost-like qualities come from another source. An undocumented clansman once described a wolf he saw in the wild, "It had a terrifying disposition, but worst still was its skin. Its rippling coat of gray appeared white in the moonlight, seeming to change color like a fish's scales as it turned toward me. That is when I knew him to be Hati, and ran for my life." Whether this was the Ghost, a figment or his imagination or a new animal entirely is subject to speculation.
In truth, Hati has the appearance of a monstrous wolf, easily four or five times the size of the largest human, and weighing thousands of pounds. Her fur is very similar to that of porcupine quills, only much larger and blue, giving the creature the appearance of being covered in large icicles.
When Hati is choosing a mortal to serve as her emissary, she will appear to him in a frozen cavern, whether or not the cavern is real has not been truly found out. The god will appear before the chosen one, and mark him permanently, covering their entire flesh with blue patterns and finishing it up with a giant mark of her paw upon their chest.
Hati will try out multiple people before deciding which one to choose, which may give these humans the feeling that they have been chosen, but in reality they have been tried and found wanting.
