This article is about the Mythical Wolf. For other uses of Blackmane, see Blackmane (disambiguation).

In Fenrisian mythology, Blackmane was a gigantic Fenrisian Wolf with supernatural abilities. One of the lieutenants of the Deathwolf, Morkai, Blackmane, also known as the Howler of the Night, was said to be able to raise the dead from their graves with its calls. After besting Morkai, Leman Russ is said to have slain Blackmane and made his pelt into a magical cloak that allowed him to pass unhurt through the gates of death.^[1a]

One of the largest and most ferocious breeds of Fenrisian Wolf likewise takes its name from Blackmane. One of these wolves was slain by the young Aspirant Ragnar Thunderfist, a deed which gave its name to him, and later, to his Great Company's totem.^[1b]
