Wolf

Untamed instinct that has not agreed to be a dog, and the politics of a group: rank, exclusion, the one on the outside. A common carrier for the Shadow because it is the part of the dreamer that was never domesticated.

Where the reading comes from

Wolves live by a social order a person recognises immediately, and were the predator that competed with people most directly for the longest, which is why European folklore made them the outside of the village.
