Kisah dan tradisi
Wulver adalah makhluk Kepulauan Shetland berwujud lelaki berkepala serigala dan berbulu cokelat pendek, yang tinggal di gua di lereng bukit. Menurut Jessie Saxby ia baik hati, ramah kepada warga, dan memancing berjam-jam dari batu yang disebut Wulver's Stane, lalu meninggalkan ikan di jendela orang miskin; kisah lain menyebutnya buas bila diusik. Asal-usulnya diperdebatkan: Susan Schoon Eberly menduga kisah ini berasal dari orang dengan penyakit seperti sindrom Hunter, sedangkan Brian Smith dari Shetland Museum menganggapnya rekaan Saxby sendiri.
