Out of all the creatures in the animal kingdom, none is quite as respected or admired in fiction as the wolf. Perhaps this is due to their loyalty to their comrades, the strength they exude as they fight, the image of a lone wolf howling at a crystal-white moon, or the mythology that surrounds them throughout many cultures. Whatever the case, the two wolves fighting today represent many of the good qualities these wolves have, and have shown their loyalty and bravery in their own ways. But which wolf will be the superior, the half-wolf that braved the Alaskan wilderness to deliver medicine to the children of Nome, or the direwolf who's loyalty to a single child goes above and beyond the normal bond of man and beast? Today, we find out!

In the blue corner, we have Summer from The Game of Thrones, and in the red corner, we have Balto from the movie of the same name.

Balto
-This is a battle to the death or incapacitation. No holds barred.
-Neither character are aware of each other beforehand, and there is no prep time.

-Neither character are allowed outside help, meaning Bran Stark cannot possess Summer during the fight.

-The battle takes place in the Alaskan wilderness, though technically this doesn't really give either character an advantage over the other.

-Speed should not need to be equalized here.


With all this being said, let the debate begin!

Balto: 0

Summer: 7 (DivineTedrius, Iapitus The Impaler, Jackythejack, Stalker Maggot, ApiesDeathbyLazors, Christian Higdon, Junkoposter)

Inconclusive: 0
 
By looking at his profile, The only thing that makes Balto stand up to a direwolf like Summer is his feat of wounding a bloodlusted bear, which is admittedly pretty impressive. Otherwise, Direwolves are explicitly stated as being more powerful than full wolves, Summer would be no exception. So probably Summer.
 
Yes, they should. Summer should get this upgrade as well.
 
I made the AP upgrade to Summer, btw. Especially since the calc used for Balto was from a feat from ASOIAF as well.
 
Being the size of horses, able to sever a man's limbs easily and not even being afraid of mammoths in lore is well up there with real life wall level predators, so yeah. Sticking with Summer.
