Howlers

The Howlers originate in Red Rising as a feral scout unit of six diminutive dregs forged by Sevro into wolf-cloaked ambush specialists during the Institute's brutal trials. Across the saga they expand into Darrow's signature elite strike force, their savage tactics and unbreakable loyalty becoming legendary symbols of the Rising as they transition from covert Institute predators to system-spanning warriors in open rebellion. Their evolution reflects the broader war's shift from hidden insurgency to full-scale conflict, with ranks swelling while core members retain their primal, wolf-like identity and devotion to Sevro and Darrow.
