Mythical
Mythical creatures are usually beings that are extremely rare or desired by collectors. In most cases they are low in numbers, and hard to find. Usually these beings stand out or have a unique appearance. Due to how extremely rare they are, some collectors within Delv Ihoo will offer plenty in return for a part of these beings. After all it could set up a family with the potential to have such a beast as a summoning spirit. Some collectors simply enjoy to have the body parts of such being to brag and show of their own personal collection. Similar to wolves however, most of these creatures are intelligent themselves and therefore will be wary around wolves. Just as some seek to enslave or kill these beings, other Delvihen wolves made it their mission to study and learn of them with the main goal being to protect these creatures. Some packs will take drastic measures to protect these creatures from any harm that could be done to them. Despite that they are sought after or hunted, some aren't that easy to target. Some of these creatures after all are extremely powerful and will kill if needed to protect itself.
Creature:Kizomei / Class:Mythical / Power:Elemental / Diet:Omnivore / Family:??? / Lifespan:1-80 / Status:Mythical-critically endangered
Native to the "Metal Valley" on Delv Ihoo, they are known as a mythical being. Originally delvihen wolves assumed they were "Gaia dragons" but eventually classified them as "mythical" due to gaia dragons having a longer lifespan. These creatures stand out due to their unusual appearance which seems to be bird like. On their chest they feature a large gem which is said to be worth a lot of azure stones. Interestingly these creatures have no eyes, and in fact it seems like the

gem serves as one large eye. If the gem is damaged their aim seems to drop significantly. While rather large, they generally do not target or hunt delvihen wolves, in fact they are rather docile and will only attack if threatened. They are considered elemental, but despite the location metal itself is not their element. They release powerful screeches which can stun creatures or cause intensive headaches. Their wings too can release powerful supersonic waves. As they are considered mythical they are extremely rare, but due to their history with delvihen wolves they are considered critically endangered. While metal wolves have been known to respect this mythical beast, outsiders are specifically targeting these creatures in order to acquire the large gem and their meat. Collectors will trade a lot just to obtain these. In history only two cases of Kizomei have ever been known of to feature different colors, one being known to have melanism and the other being known to have a color variation known as "scarlet". Both individuals when sighted were instantly targeted despite metal wolves trying to keep wolves out. Mythical creatures are always rare to spot or encounter, but due to these hunts their kind is rarely seen even by metal wolves nowadays. Females are a lot bigger than males and will only come together if a female wishes to nest. When this happens a male will present all sorts of fruits growing in the metal valley. They will seek large mountain tops in this valley to ensure the succes rate of the young. They will eat all sorts of things as they have a varied and mixed diet, even so they have never been known to leave the metal valley even if they pursue a wolf they will retreat if it leaves the borders of these lands. Their memory is said to be perfect, if a wolf kills one of their young they will never forget the individual and will even hunt it down for eternity.

Creature:Kiricorn / Class:Mythical / Power:Elemental/ Diet:Herbivore / Family:Perissodactyla / Lifespan:1-70 / Status:Mythical
A rare variation is known amongst the Kirinma native to Chaos Isle. It is so rare that officially in Delv Ihoo it is even considered "mythical". This variation is known as the "Kiricorn". It looks a lot like a Kirinma but features a different coat color and a long horn similar to unicorns. The variation is extremely rare and on the Chaos Isle if such an individual is spotted, it will be guarded non stop as Chaos wolves view it as a holy creature and will never hunt it. On the main Island on Delv Ihoo however, wolves will give a lot for remains of these creatures. Males feature a huge brightly colored orange horn and have actual gems that have grown on the side of their necks. Females might not have the bright horn or gems, but even for their pitch black horn wolves will give plenty of valuables. Some believe it has medical properties as well. Luckily the hunt on them isn't quite easy. Kiricorns are extremely rare and unlike their regular counterpart, they do not socialize or live in herds and will wander alone. It is believed in rare occasions one will breed with a lone Kirinma which can result in the birth of a Kiricorn. Aside from that they are believed to have chaotic elemental energy similar to the chaos species. So even if found, the wolf who attempts to hunt it might die in the process. Kiricorns unlike the Kirinma are more calm and less hostile, so in normal occasions it will not attack but remain hidden.

Creature:Wolf ripper / Class:Mythical / Power:Elemental / Diet:Carnivore / Family:??? / Lifespan:??? / Status:Mythical
Considered mythical, this being made it's first appearance to ghost wolves after the Sohishi became more rare as their numbers decreased. Ghost wolves are unsure if this being is born from them, an evolved version, or a different species. One thing is clear, compared to the Sohishi they are larger, far more intelligent and they no longer consume souls. They are extremely hostile and only seem to target wolves. They called this beast the "wolf ripper" for a reason. It's very own appearance has a more scruffy wolf like pelt, as their beak like mouth looks more like that of a wolf. The eye within their mouth remains but now has a colored pupil and is no longer piercing red. They have a smaller additional set of wings as well on their tail. Unlike the Sohishi they can smell a lot better and so can smell danger from males away. Their vision is somewhat similar but now they are capable of retracting the eye behind a fleshy wall within their mouth. This does mean they will fight blind but even then they have strategies. They can smell perfectly, and if they need vision they'll become transparant to look around during a fight if they fight blind. If they believe that the odds are against them they will not engage at all. They will also hang around the edges of their habitat to catch a wolf of guard. When they release a call the Sohishi does seem to respond to them and even retreat. So in a way this creature is seen as a sort of guardian to them. But similar to the Sohishi the few individuals who witnessed this being were able to escape due to this creature refusing to target one specific individual among many others. Ghost wolves have questioned their God for information before, but he seems to have little to no knowledge about them as his power have no connection to collecting souls at all.
