The following is a list of all wolf packs from the Wolf's Rain anime and manga.
Kiba's Pack[]
- "Our pack isn't the kind that has a leader."
- —Kiba
Background[]
Kiba's pack was formed out of a shared curiosity about Paradise. Starting with Hige following Kiba around Freeze City. They later come across Toboe, whom didn't know there were others of his kind. Tsume joins begrudgingly but always threatens to take off on his own, but stays more or less at Toboe's insistence. Blue is the last to join as she feels her wolf-side come to light. The pack splits up and rejoins several times throughout the series.
Appearance[]
Each member is a different kind of wolf. Kiba, an Arctic wolf; Hige, a Mexican wolf; Toboe, Red wolf; Tsume, a Grey wolf; and Blue, a wolfdog hybrid.
Tsume's Previous Pack[]
- "The members of my pack who were still alive blocked my escape route. They gave me this scar as a reminder of my sin, and then banished me from the pack. I never trusted anybody again. I no longer wanted anything to do with friends... until I met you three."
- —Tsume
Background[]
Tsume's original pack was a wolf pack that had been destroyed for unexplained reasons; presumably by Nobles due to the manner of its destruction.
Tsume, explains that he tried run when the killing began. The leader and survivors of the pack saw his cowardice and exiled him. Along with the exile, he was bitten and thrown down by a higher ranking wolf, leaving him with a scar on his chest.
After Tsume's banishment, it is unknown what happened to this pack. Possibilities range from eventually being culled by the nobles to being destroyed during the end and rebirth of the world.
Appearance[]
Most, if not all members of the pack, are grey wolves. Displaying variants of grey from charcoal-grey to light-grey.
Hige's Previous Pack[]
Background[]
Before Hige met Kiba, he was brainwashed into being Lady Jaguara's lapdog. His job was to hunt and lead troops to other wolves. The collar that he wore was actually a tag/transmitter that reprogrammed his memories.
For more information, see Hige's Collar.
A soldier inspecting his collar refers to him as "Number 23"; many, if not all, of the others were killed after returning to Jagara's City.
Appearance[]
Most are Timber Wolves with a large build and tan colored fur. They have large, orange-gold eyes. All members have a black collar around their necks that has a metal plate inscribed with letters A-X.
Zali's Pack[]
Background[]
Zali's pack was originally much larger. Like Kiba, he too was in search of Paradise; leading his pack into an abandoned tunnel, not knowing that it was filled with toxic gases.
Escaping with only his life and a few others, Zali settled the pack in the city. Working to make ends meet. Many of the members of the pack began to doubt Zali's capabilities of being the leader. Cole, however, stuck by his side faithfully.
Appearance[]
The large majority of the pack is an unknown species of wolf. Many display a muted grey-brown color while Zali appears in darker greys. All of them have a variation of pale yellow eyes.
Pack of Strays[]
Background[]
An old wolf only known as "Old Lady" was part of a pack of outsiders. She claimed they always took in whoever needed a pack of their own, so when they came upon Hige it was no big deal.
She told Tsume and Toboe that they gave him their food, and a place to stay, only to be betrayed by him when soldiers showed up and began killing them. No matter how far they ran, or how long it had been they kept coming after them.
It wasn't until the old lady, and whoever was left of their pack, was captured that she find out it was Hige's fault. The old lady blamed him for her entire pack's death and even her own before she died as well.
The Spellbound Pack[]
The spellbound pack of wolves only appeared in the manga in chapter 6 and chapter 7.
Background[]
They have been waiting for The Seed of Paradise for a long time. When Cheza appears before their eyes, they goes insane and start attacking Kiba’s pack as well as their own pack members and boss.
