The Wolverine is a furry animal with a squat, powerful body. Its strong forelimbs are armed with long claws for digging. The adult wolverine is about the size of a medium dog, with a length of 2-3 feet, a tail from 1-2 feet long, and weighs 20-35 pounds. The males are as much as 30 percent larger than the females.
The wolverine resembles a small bear with a long tail. It has been known to give off a very strong, extremely unpleasant odor, giving rise to the nicknames “skunk bear” and “nasty cat.”

Wolverines are deadly predators, resembling a cross between a huge weasel and a small bear. These cold-weather predators can spray musk in a 60-ft cone, which necessitates a saving throw vs poison or the victim will be blinded for 1d8 hours. Regardless of the saving throw’s result, the strength and dexterity scores of anyone caught in a musk cloud will effectively be halved. The creatures are just intelligent enough to be evil aligned, and are intelligent enough to ambush prey. Their savagery and speed grants them a +4 on attacks and an unusually good armour class.
