Physical Description:  Large white wolf with a mane made of flowing blue flames. 
 
Size:  5-8 feet from foot to shoulder, around 10-12 from head to tail
 
Location:  Around and in Mountains on all of the Baji Islands
 
How common:  Uncommon but large enough population that if you go looking for them, you will likely find one. 

Diet: Anything they can catch, though mostly smaller mammals that live around the mountains.  

Threat:  Being large wolves they are a threat to most people even without their other abilities but their mane is what makes them threats to whole settlements.  Their mane is actual fire and capable of burning whatever it touches, with the wolf itself able to shoot fireballs from it. They normally try to stick to their homes near the mountains but when desperate or forced by other creatures they will run through villages (normally Tengu but also isolated human ones) their mane scorching buildings as they pass through in search for food, and the fireballs flying at any one that comes near.  

Lifespan:  Around 15-25 years
 
Behavior:  These wolves live in very small groups, normally of just one pair and their children with occasionally a related  male wolf as well. They mostly stick to the areas around the mountains and focusing on hunting the local animals. They aren't as aggressive as other Okami and tend to avoid people if they can, but if people go too far into their territory they will attack people in order to make them leave.  When food is scarce in their normal range they will get more aggressive and be willing to attack settlements in order to steal food, often causing severe damage in the process thanks to their fire abilities.  If one is captured or found young they are relatively easy to tame but due to their fire abilities most clans don't bother trying as it often results in buildings and crops being burned down.
