Howl of Gray Wolf, abbreviated as HoGW, is a fanfic written by MGW based off the Monster Rancher franchise. It's the first story in her "Hero Mon Series". MR belongs to Tecmo.
The story starts in the year of 804 AP or After Pangaea. The main character Gray Wolf, a Tiger superbreed, is the leader of a wild pack who is searching for disk stones to expand his family. Sometime after finding one, he and his pack are chased into a mountain shrine by a group of dinos. They manage to shake the dinos and unlock the disk stone, which contained a cheerful purebreed Tiger. Before they could make a clear escape, the pack encountered a dragon, a former champion of the Breeder League, who commanded the dinos to destroy the pack and take the Tiger stone. Gray Wolf try to hold him off while the others escape with Tiger, but ultimately the entire pack are caught up and forced into a difficult battle. Gray's packmates are killed and Gray, unforgiving towards the dragon and hearing rumors about how monsters are going insane across the world, sets out on a journey for revenge.
Characters from Monster Rancher 1 and 2, and the Advance games appear in the story. Majority of the monsters would contain their names from Monster Rancher 2.
Howl of Gray Wolf is set on a world similar to Earth but with two continents each with an established monster breeder association. The ancient history is akin to the anime; like from the games, the Gali plays the role of God and other divine figures, and are responsible for sealing monsters into disk stones.
Listed are main characters from pre-remake:
Gray Wolf: Gray Wolf is a three-year-old Tiger superbreed. He was the leader of a pack of Tigers until a confrontation with a dragon changed his fate. He is brave, but can be a hothead and reckless. He deeply loves his pack and abides to loyalty.
Tiger: Tiger is Gray Wolf's newly born brother. Personality is very brave and cheerful, and he loves his family, but in the dawn of his birth he quickly learns the unfortunate aspects of monster life. He witnesses the death of his pack but willingly stands by his brother's side on his journey for revenge.
Mocchi: a cute and optimistic duck-billed monster who sometimes ends his sentences with "chi". He aids Gray Wolf and Tiger after Jesvah started attacking them.
Hopper: Young and dynamic, Hopper joins Gray Wolf to fight for his family, who cowers from the dragon forces underground.
Basilisk: A hot-headed zuum/joker. Met Gray Wolf while traveling. Despises one of the dragons, especially hthe units serving under him, Jaggernaut and Sneak Hopper.
Tyrant: Basilisk's friend is a golem/dragon.
Moo and Dragon Four: Main antagonists. The latter was originally called "Devious Dragon Four" but in the remake, they are simply called "Dragon 4 Generals".
In 1997, the first game of the series, Monster Rancher (Monster Farm in Japan, モンスターファー; Monsutā Fāmu), also MR or MF, was released for the Playstation console. In the game, the player takes the role of a licensed monster tamer tasked to live on a ranch, raise various monster races to participate in tournaments, and raise trainer rank.
The monsters vary in character, from peaceful and tolerate towards their trainers, to violent in nature and difficult to raise. Raising routines differ and trainers can either spoil their monster friend or abuse them up to the point where they won't listen to you. Also, there are some unlockables or secret monsters (ie: Centuar, Dragon, Henger, Phoinex etc). Couple years later after the first game, the sequel AND the animated series came out.
