Giant Wolf

In modern times, we try to make our mythologies. However, because science is on hand through books and computers, it cannot go correctly. If we don't put it in our cryptozoology, then we'll put it on TV instead. Despite it being "fictional", we try to justify the thought and associate it with science or older myths. This is why giant wolves get associated with dire wolves, or fenrir, or amarok, even though it comes straight from the heart and imagination. Our modern mythology has giant wolves as a part of it. These giant wolves are aggressive and while they may protect humans, they may also readily kill them. We see this in TV such as Princess Mononoke, Game of Thrones, and Twilight.
