Wolf warriors have a rich history across various cultures. In Indo-European cultures, the kóryos, a brotherhood of warriors, often identified with wolves and dogs as symbols of death, lawlessness, and warrior fury. In Turkic cultures, the grey wolf, or Böri, is a sacred animal and national symbol. The wolf Ashina (Kökböri) is part of the origin story of all Turkic and Mongolian tribes. In Mongolian culture, wolves are both demonized and romanticized. The nation’s most renowned figure, Chinggis Khan, is said to have descended from a wolf.

In Native American cultures, wolves hold great importance, symbolizing strength, courage, and are often associated with warrior societies. The Germanic wolf-warriors have left their trace through shields and standards that were captured by the Romans and displayed in the armilustrium in Rome. Frenzy warriors wearing the skins of wolves called Ulfheðnar, are mentioned in the Vatnsdæla saga. These wolf warriors, across different cultures, symbolize the primal, fierce nature of warriors, and their stories continue to resonate in these societies today.
