[http://wolfpearl.deviantart.com/gallery/401612 Wurr] is a webcomic by Finnish artist WolfPearl, uploaded on [[Deviant ART]].
 
The story opens with what looks to be a stereotypical plot--theplot—the dogs who live out in the world are good, and the hideous mutated hellhounds that live within the crater are evil. The jealous hellhounds envy the beautiful lands of the dogs, and a war breaks out. The righteous dogs triumph over the wicked hellhounds, and seal them away within the crater. However...
 
The real story begins with a pack of hellhounds, who are gathered by their leader Iacar to be told they're being evicted. Driven from their territory by another pack leader, Pyramos, they are forced to find new territory elsewhere- beyond the craggy borders of the crater. The comic follows the pack as they leave their home behind and venture out into the alien world of the dogs.
 
Notable for its amazing art, and the artist's amazing attention to anatomy and realistic (barring [[Rule of Cool]]) mutations with the hellhounds, along with the incredibly detailed backstory of the world. The first volume of the comic is now in print, [[No Export for You|unfortunately only in Finnish]].
 
{{tropelist}}
=== ''[[Wurr (Webcomic)|Wurr]]'' provides examples of: ===
* [[Action Girl]]: Surama.
* [[Alien Sky]]: The sky in the Crater is covered in dark smoggy clouds. For the hellhounds, the normal blue sky is the alien one.
Line 19:
* [[Art Shift]]: The comic's introduction is drawn in a simpler style, reminiscent of cave drawings.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Niftynose, who starts a fight in the middle of a (fairly) rational discussion by ''shooting lightning from his nose''.
* [[Beard of Evil]]: Subverted by the original Iralbe.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't call Grimmon a wolf.
* [[Beware My Stinger Tail]]: Pyramos has a long prehensile tail with a bone-blade at the tip, which he uses as an effective weapon.
Line 26:
* [[Body Horror]]: The hellhounds have been exposed to mutating Black Touch for generations, resulting in strange mutations such as extra limbs, eyes, too many teeth, strange skeletal structures, and countless other strange features.
** The most mutated ones are called deepblooded and [[Can't Have Sex Ever|are forbidden to breed]]. Even more grotesque are the cliffhounds, who live on the outer slopes of the Crater and guard it against intrusion.
* [[B -Roll Rebus]]: Used a couple of times for comic effect.
** "<ref>(Azrabak)</ref> + Pack = Death; Iacar = No Death; Dog + Iacar = No Death?"
* [[Call a Smeerp a Rabbit]]: All the prey animals (and cave beasts) in the Crater are so mutated it's a stretch to even call them rabbits or rats anymore.
* [[Can't Have Sex Ever]]: The deep-blooded are forbidden from mating; they are so heavily mutated that their mutations endanger the pups, [[Death by Childbirth|the mother,]] [[Trauma Conga Line|or both]].
* [[Conjoined Twins]]: In a weird sort of way- the Gateguard's mutation started as this, with a [[Greek Mythology|Cerberus-like]] conglomeration of three heads, and got worse from there. One of the cliffhounds also seems to be this way, with a second "body" emerging from the first's back like a rider.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]
* [[Disability Superpower]]:
** Despite all of Crippled's weaknesses, he has excellent sonar-like hearing.
** Iralbe's heat vision.
* [[Dr. Jerk]]: What little we see of the (original) Iralbe indicates him to be this.
* [[Don't Try This At Home]]/[[Do Not Attempt]]: Poked fun at in the author's comments- "Warning, do not attempt to rob mutant chicken nests. It should only be attempted by trained professionals, idiots, or Surama."
* [[Everyone Went to School Together]]: [http://wolfpearl.deviantart.com/art/Unfinished-tale-of-Wurr-279909210 this] bonus strip.
Line 65:
* [[Handy Helper]]: Everyone (mostly Iacar) to Sinjal.
* [[Hell Hound]]: While they are called hellhounds, they don't fill the usual roles. Instead, they are just large, heavily mutated dogs.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: Intentionally averted- humans don't exist in the dogs' world.
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: Grimmon is ''not'' a wolf!
* [[Large Ham]]: Pyramos.
Line 74:
* [[Natural Weapon]]: Pyramos's blade tail.
* [[No Biological Sex]]: The whispering ones (such as Iralbe and Riega) have no genitalia, and thus no sex. They're generally referred to in the masculine for simplicity's sake.
* [[Nothing but Skin and Bones]]: Sinjal/Crippled, due to his severe disgestion problems.
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Crippled's real name is Sinjal, but as Iacar couldn't say it right when they were pups, Sinjal got nicknamed Crippled. In the comic, he's only referred to as such.
* [[Our Orcs Are Different]]: [[Word of God]] states that the [[Hell Hound|hellhounds]] are essencially the Blizzard variant [[Furries Are Easier to Draw|in animal form]].
* [[Outnumbered Sibling]]: Surama has four brothers and no sisters, and three of them are older than her. The fourth is Hafmar.
* [[Partially-Civilized Animal|Partially Civilized Animals]]
