Karil
Karil is a Wolpertinger: an anthropomorphic hybrid of a were-canine and a deer. In his particular case, Karil looks like a Siberian Husky, sporting a stag's antlers, but slightly smaller.
As is the case for all wolpertingers, Karil was abandoned in the wild shortly after her birth. Wolpertingers leave their children to fend for themselves, leaving it up to their natural instincts to keep them alive - or indeed, to die if they do not have what it takes. To this day Karil has scars telling of her early days. The forests of Camelot are no easy place for a wolpertinger puppy to survive, but she made it.
When reaching adolescence, Karil was to decide whether to stay on all fours and be a feral Wolpertinger, or stand on two legs and be a civilized one. She chose the latter, swiftly growing from an adorable, yet mildly dangerous puppy into an adult that was not to be trifled with. The first two people to learn that lesson, a pair of men named Karil and Muhay who were fleeing Camelot after escaping the dungeons of Dalaran and hunting in the forest for sustenance, saw the then nameless wolpertinger, mistook her for an escaped dog and attempted to catch and leash her forcefully. It was the first time that she met humans, and the first time that she killed one. As she eviscerated the first of the men, the other screamed 'Karil!' in shock, moments before the wolpertinger's teeth ended his life too. It was the first time that she heard words being spoken. That single word stuck, and Karil began to identify herself with it. She was no longer a nameless half-feral predator. She was Karil the wolpertinger.
Karil roams the forests of Camelot near the edge of the verse, with next to no contact to civilization. A few towns at the border are aware of her existence to some degree, having seen silhouettes and tracks but never the wolpertinger herself. The unspoken mutual agreement between them is simple: "I leave you alone, you leave me alone." The few who have breached that agreement and attempted to drag the myth into the open were either unsuccessful, or have never returned.
