Symbolism > wolf

wolf

The crest of a wolf has been granted to valiant captains who served loyally through long sieges or hard enterprises. It signifies valor and guardianship. Wolves were viewed as ferocious and merciless and it was thought that they could paralyze their enemies with a look before destroying them. The bearer of this symbol was a deadly enemy to have. Early wolves were drawn very crudely and do not resemble the animal very closely so later representations are preferred. The head of a wolf is particularly common in Scottish heraldry.
