Direwolf Clone



The Direwolf Clone is clone number #01 of the Mega Beast Clones. Since its arrival on Earth, it has been piloted by Biklonaut Gio and managed by sysop Loki. It, along with the Sabertooth Clone, was one of the first Mega Beasts to appear in the series.

In stark contrast to the Taurus Clone, Direwolf is a lightweight clone that's fast on its feet. It shares the destructive firepower of Taurus, however, and has a hidden feature that increases this power exponentially.

Attack Lineup
The Direwolf clone's main method of attack. It should be pretty obvious, but the attack involves Direwolf launching a blue fireball at the enemy from its mouth. Each fireball carries over 25000 degrees Celsius of heat (that's 45032 degrees Fahrenheit for you freedom fighters out there).
 * Fireball

Direwolf's fireballs are very powerful, able to take out weaker Bulgasaris in one hit, while also not expending too much energy, unlike the Taurus clone's Aldebaran. This firepower is multiplied further when used in Werewolf Mode, causing the fireballs to eliminate most targets in an instant.  Direwolf's finisher. Direwolf enters a standby phase in which it is covered in blue fire designs, after which a shockwave occurs, creating a giant orb in the sky. The orb then begins rapidly shooting out fireballs for an extended period of time, destroying everything they hit.
 * Blood Moon

Blood Moon requires an extensive amount of focus. If done correctly, it'll cleanly destroy every Bulgasari in the area, but if used haphazardly, it risks extreme collateral damage. The move is thus best used with Werewolf Mode, in which Gio's focus on the attack increases.

Combinations

 * Cross Attacker (with Sabertooth)
 * Barbarian King (with Sabertooth, Argentavis, Mammoth, and Giant Elk)

Toy
Direwolf can move its legs, knees, and ankles, and can open its mouth. If some of the clips are released, you can use Cross Attacker's articulation points for extra movement, like head rotation. Opening the translucent blue panel above its head reveals a cockpit in which an unpainted Gio figure is molded in; while the figure cannot be removed, its head can be rotated if you can get your fingers in there. The toy is built to be able to combine into Cross Attacker and Barbarian King.

 * Accessories: Direwolf Disc Chip

Direwolf was packaged with Sabertooth as a set for Cross Attacker. The only difference is that the Direwolf and Sabertooth disc chips are swapped out for the Cross Attacker disc chip. So if you want to collect all the disc chips (or at least the ones they've released), you have to buy the individual clones and the two combiners. Oof.
