Commission done of one badass lady~

My Fel Orc boy Felgijak Gorebelly indulges in his Fel Blood addiction. Some added belly maw tongue action, and you can see the Fel flowing through his veins. I LOVE HOW THIS CAME OUT!

Commission for @Dylan-grimmkell ;3

I also asked Mr. Jobling about this and the mystery deepens. It was very interesting that he wasn't aware. Currently, only the first two books are on audible.

Here is an example of the stuff that is added in the audio book version of Wereworld vs the original print/digital version of the books. Note this is from book 2 Rage of Lions so SPOILERS/SPOILER WARNING ⚠️

ORIGINAL

AUDIO VERSION

With her last ounce of strength she brought her right paw up to strike him. (She tried to strike Drew once when she'd first met him, and the boy from the Cold Coast had infuriated her, but he'd been too quick for her. He caught her hand in his own grip and held her fast. Lucas was no Drew.) The clawed hand flew straight and true.

If this isn't a reference to American Werewolf in London, then I don't know what it is. I love whoever/whomever on the animation team thought of doing this for Wolf King because it's an awesome call back.

[dylan-grimmkell]

It's so interesting that the Wereworld audible version has extra dialog, descriptions, context, and scenes vs. the print version. I even got the digital version just to see if it was added in, and it's not. Reading along and listening is VERY exciting!

Count Vega comparisons:

I'd like to thank all those who worked to bring Wolf King to netflix, bc that series has single-handedly smacked my tail feathers out of art block. SO!!!! I am comparing my interpretation of Count Vega from the books and the show's portrayal. Why? Because it's an excuse to draw my absolute beloved book character of all time, thank you.

Main points:

I fucking miss his cape and long hair. Those losses are tragic. The books also mentioned his sword having a basket hilt, and those are fancy as shit, but it tracks cuz he's a pirate prince and a sword master.

Show!Vega has shinies!! Necklaces! Rings! Cunty hoop earrings!! All good things, all very piratical. I love the added pops of color on the show's design in general.

FINNED BOOTS??? J'ADORE TELLEMENT!! TIT WINDOW????? give whoever thought of that a raise.

The facial hair threw me, I'll be honest. Still not sure about it, but also Vega in the books remains my only fav in any fandom who is clean-shaven, so maybe it was time lol

In brief: Owlie read these books at the same time Owlie's hyperfixation on the Atlantic Golden Age of Piracy began, and the books are quite... Eurocentric, in a way? So my Vega has much more inspiration from Atlantic pirates, where the show clearly draws from Arabic and Mediterranean influences in fictional pirates. Fabulous.

SO what does an Owlie do with this information? Put them both in a blender, obviously:

I uh... um... waow.... uhm...

@banananutloaf4life @soranatus @holyrunawaychild @angstybreadstyx @the-witch-forever-lives uhhhh yeah those are all the Wereworld folks I know off the top of my head :P

The full transformations of the WERELORDS In Wolf King (2025), Season 1

Bonus Werefox portrait:

[dylan-grimmkell]

Names for Lyssia’s Noble Families

Surnames are a strange anomaly in the world of Wereworld/Wolf King. The name Ferran is ubiquitous with Drew and his adoptive family. Yet few other characters in the books have family names of their own.

Least of all the great Werelord houses of Lyssia.

So, I thought of having a bit of fun and give the Werelords House names.

Feel free to use any of these or create your own for your own fancanon. I’d love to hear what surnames you’d give your favorite werelords.

The Grey Wolves of Westland

As obvious as Remus or Romulus would be for the late Wergar and his kin, I settled on Gévaudan. The name is from a historic province in France, now part of Lozère and Haute-Loire.

It was there that possibly one of the most famous werewolf incidents happened in the mid 1700s. For 3 years the Beast of Gévaudan terrorized the countryside and woodlands of the province. It got so bad that the King of France had to get involved.

Feels appropriate for our protagonist’s birth name to reference this legend.

The Bears of Brackenholme

For the Bearlords, I narrowed down to three.

For a more blunt reference to their ursathrope nature, there’s Arctodus. Taken from an extinct genus of short-faced bear.

For surnames that connect to the African influence Wolf King has given them. There’s Abioye (meaning “born into royalty”), and Opeyemi (meaning “gratitude is suitable for me”).

The Boars of Redmire

I’m aware that Hector is given the last name Huth (his father’s name) a lot within the fandom, but I’m not treating that as canon as it’s never directly attributed to him in the books.

Like the Bearlords, I came to three names. I leaned more to the Asian influence Wolf King gave to them for inspiration.

First is Babiruso, based on the babirosa. An Indonesian deer-pig famous for its tusks growing through its snout.

That other possible names I came to were Bajie and Wuneng, in refrence to the character of Zhu Bajie from Journey to the West.

The Foxes of Hedgemoor

For the Foxlords, I wanted to stray away from more obligatory refrences to foxes. As easy as it would be to have House Vulpine, I felt I could do better. Instead I focused on their ties to Hedgemoor for the basis.

First is Baumgartner, a German occupational name for those who live or work in orchards. Likely where the Foxes got their wealth.

Blumenthal (“flowers valley”) and Rosenfeld (“field of roses”) are options both fitting of the descriptions we get of Hedgemoor in the books.

The Rats of Vermire

I honestly couldn’t come up with much for the Rat King.

Nezumi came up, simply Japanese for rat. Felt appropriate given the visual influence on Vankaskan.

The only other name I could decide on for the Ratlords was Lackland. A famous nickname for Prince John, under the assumption he’d inherit no lands. Given the Rats’ pension to cling onto whomever has power, I could see Lackland being a name that was attached to them early on in their political careers. A name they would claim for their own as they rose up under Leopold.

The Lions of Leos

Getting into some light spoilers and fan canon for this one for my reasoning.

Leopold is not from Lyssia. Like other Catlords he hails from Bast, a jungle continent south of Lyssia. For me it made sense that the Catlords, and in turn the Lions, would have a different style of family names.

For them, family names could be titles inherited and earned. Those unworthy of them are stripped of them.

I settled on Therium Rex, “King of Beasts”. Because what other title is suitable for a Lion.

The Sharks of The Cluster Isles

Initially when trying to find a name for Vega, I searched through Spanish and Arabic names to find one fitting. Though none felt quite right.

Then, like I had with the Lionlords, I created one for Vega in particular. de Sosha.

For Wolf King only fans, Sosha is the Lyssian goddess of the sea. Every sailor on the White Sea pays homage to her, Vega included.

It feels fitting to his character, then, to bear her name, either by choice or by birth.

The Stags of Stormdale

Given the classical knight aesthetic the Staglords have in both Wereworld and Wolf King, I went for those kind of names for their family.

Bergmann, literally “mountain man”, would be fitting given their home in the Barebones. The mountain range that divides Lyssia in two.

Hirsch, “deer, hart”, a simple one that just refrences their cervithrope nature. Felt fine considering this one given, without translating, you wouldn’t immediately know what it means.

Lastly, Sieghard, which just felt like it fit with the ‘Knights of Old’ identity the Stags have.

The White Wolves of Shadowhaven

Though not extensively featured in season 1, the White Wolves are still important through Queen Amalie.

Though she’d have likely taken Wergar’s name in marriage, I wanted to give some ideas for her maiden name.

Amarok, leaning into my Inuit white wolves headcanons, Amarok was the name of a wolf god/spirit within Inuit folklore.

Taking pieces from other arctic peoples, there’s Bayanai, meaning “patron of hunters” in Altaic-Turkic (from northern Siberia). A spirit/goddess of forests and animals.

I ultimately chose spirit/god names for Amalie because of the inherent magik White Wolves are later revealed to have.

I finished watching this today. I hope it gets another season!

Wolf King reactionssssss episode 1 :D

Soundtrack SLAPS!!!!! I love it!!!!!

The buildings and structures in Motley are SO NEAT! The style is much more fantastical than I thought it would be, and I'm THRILLED. Cannot wait to see Cutter's Cove.

Whitley's design remains 🤌 lovely. I understand why they shortened Drew's stay in the Dyrewood, but it still woulda been funny to have the "what the hell are you" at Drew cuz he's been feral for 3 months.

The Ratlord's design??? CREEPY AS SHIT which is perfect. The Wyldermen--at least the treeple design is better than what they became in the books. Good call on that one.

BERGAN!!!!!! DUKE DILF????? HELLO???? INCREDIBLE DESIGN. The way you could see his clothing shifting as he shifted back into human form???? FUCKING LOVE IT. BRAIN GO BRRRRRRRRRR
