# The Wolves in Gambit

Few animals on Earth evoke such strong emotions as the wolf. In spite of its fierce reputation, it is a shy, intelligent and elusive creature. Wolf folktales abound, shrouded in mists of fear, admiration, awe and loathing. In hunter-gatherer societies, the wolf was often afforded respect for its incredible senses and hunting prowess.

The images conveyed in wolf folktales vary: in many wolves are depicted as ruthless and fierce; in others they have an image of nobility and loyalty. In Norse Mythology, the wolf Fenrir was a symbol of chaos who eventually swallows Odin whole. However, the wolf was also associated with warriors, and Odin had two wolves as loyal companions.

**Self-preservation** and **hunting** are two different instincts that wolves have mastered and trigger under the right circumstances. They are even somewhat balanced and allow a wolf to pull out and retreat, if a prey turns out to be more trouble than the wolf actually expected.&#x20;

At Gambit, we believe that any gamer must develop those same instincts of self-preservation and hunting in order to succeed and prevail. For wolves, stalking, scavenging and hunting in packs or **communities** are also social behaviors that allows them to thrive.

This is why we selected the Wolf as our brand identity and we would love you to become a member of our pack!
