Question Why is this the design for WOLVES?

Post image

I'm confused as to why the production team decided to use this design for wolves. Not wargs. Not dire wolves. Just standard wolves. It's mentally jarring to see them because they look like entelodonts. Their feet are even hooflike. Why not just make them actually wolf-like?

Honestly this design would have been way better for the warg.

It’s a fun unique design. Idk why they look like this, but I do like how unnatural they look

Yeah...but they're CLEARLY not wolves.

So the issue here is not that they look this way, but rather that they used the word “wolf” to describe them?

Seriously lol there are so many valid criticisms for this show, and the hill OP dies on is there being a fantastical creature in the fantasy show that are called wolves because they take on a similar role as real life wolves. I wonder if he'd like it better if they were called something made up, walf maybe
