Nah they're more like what people fear about wolves (and some envy). The Wolf is an excuse. Bloodborne pointedly doesn't use the term "wolf", and only partly, I think, because a lot of them aren't really "wolves." It's Beast-ness. Not-human-ness. Not being part of *society*

Wolves have a ton of that! It's a weird choice for it, I'm just saying. They could be tigers or somethign.

To be fair, also, a: wolves often preyed on farmers' sheep and such, and b: werewolves increasingly don't look much like *wolves* either.

Oh, sure - it's not really a defense of wolves per se; it's just an odd kind of totem for those specific characteristics. Predators come in different forms, etc. And like, their social cohesion and intelligence make them dangerous.

It's not like bears or something, where they can just be big.

I really do like the idea of just calling them Beasts. It's more honest, kind of?

Yeah, pretty much. I mean, they kind of become a bigfoot. It's not the wolfish characteristics, so much as the like...wild man?

Well, sasquatch is also usually pretty gentle.

Ironically, pop culture tends to depict Yeti as more peaceful than Sasquatch/Bigfoot because of orientalist stereotypes, but in the actual local legends the Yeti is described as attacking/killing people way more often than Sasquatch is

Realistically, being in a barren cold environment up in the mountains would mean a big animal like that would be much more dependent on predation to survive It's why in the old school descriptions it was the "Abominable Snowman"

I headcanon the Abominable Snowman as just a very large Pallas cat that likes to stand up on its hind legs like a domestic cat
