Overview

As a ranger Finn sometimes prefers the company of animals to humans. His second such animal companion was a wolf. It was killed by a band of hobgoblins during an adventure. Finn and his companions were able to dispatch the goblins and get justice for the raven. As fate would have it, this battle was witnessed by a pack of Winter wolves. Seems the wolves were also being hunted by the hobgoblins. Their leader Gunnolf, offered his son Odolf as Finn's new animal companion.

During one of their adventures, the party saved a bronze dragon named Ragotharn. The dragon granted all of his saviors a boon. Odolf's was to become awakened. He is now intelligent and can speak common.
