Wolf Skull: Grond

[naamah_darling]

One of my new acquisitions, this is the skull of a very large male gray wolf (Canis lupus). He does not have a name, but I'm enthusiastically open to suggestions! (Edit: Got it! He's Grond. Thanks, crows_warning and tripleransom!)

The teeth made me think "Cletus" or "Bubba". (Sorry).

Maybe "Grimnir"?

I think I see now where the phrase "long in the tooth" comes from!

Considering the names of your other wolves, Brand was the first thing that sprang to mind. Although Grisolfr (Grey Wolf) would work too.

I'm giggling, here. I've actually been considering Brand-short-for-Valbrand. It has associations that I think might make it more appropriate for another skull I have, though, that I've just been calling "Handsome."

But I'm glad someone's backing me up on the Brandy love.

At that size, he could be a Mongo... although GrimTooth is appropriate.

Ah! Well, "Mongo Grimtooth" has a hell of a ring to it.

Or "Grond Grimtooth," to combine it with another suggestion I've been digging.

Yes, Mongo Grimtooth does sound pretty awesome.

I am thirding Mongo Grimtooth! :P

Your photos make me curious as to what he looked like while alive... Impressive creature...

The part of me that had me attempt to climb into the tiger enclosure at the zoo at a young age would love to have met him in person...
