The taxonimic name for the wolverine is 'gulo gulo'. Gulo is latin for glutton. The behaviour description is, of course, not true. It comes from some of the medieaval bestiaries who wanted to use all the animals as some sort of moral lesson. However it might be a good story to use in Glorantha.

Very far north? No. They live in the moderately far north. The boreal forest lies south of all that wonderful tundra and arctic desert.
