Alpha
These wolves are often viewed as Holy, they are the best example of skill and dominance there is. They are seen as among the wisest wolves, and because of this their words are seen as gospel. Of course, this isn't always how these alphas truly are... Worship can distort your view of someone's true self. Alphas are not required to become gammas when they turn 12.
Beta
This wolf is specially selected by the Alpha as the most suited to take their place, the Theta may help with this decision due to their spirituality. Some Alphas are seen as 'too Divine' to interact with their pack directly, so Betas fill their social role for them. Often Betas will be the pups' of the Alpha, though if the Alpha's pup is not fit to take that role, another wolf will be selected.
Zeta, Kappa and Tau
These wolves' job is to lead their role, and to teach juveniles their role. They are the most experienced at what they do, and often end up becoming the next Beta. The Zeta is the lead Epsilon, the Kappa is the lead Lambda and the Tau is the lead Upsilon.
Theta and Iota
The Theta is the lead herbalist in the pack, they often claim to have a spiritual connection and guide the Alpha spiritually. The Iotas are other herbalists apprenticing under the Theta.

Epsilon, Lambda and Upsilon
Epsilons are wolves that are trained in battle, they guard the pack and specialize in their strength. Lambdi are wolves that provide food for the pack, they specialize in their teamwork. Upsilons are wolves trained in stealth, they scout for predators and prey in the area.
Omega
Omegas are not treated so poorly in these packs. Omegas tend to be wolves that don't fit into a specific role, or are still trying to work out what role they will pursue. It is not often that an omega will be a 'demoted' pack member, but that's not to say it doesn't happen. Omegas tend to act as pup-caretakers while they work out what role they want, if any. Some omegas can be so their whole lives and still love it.
Gamma
Gammas are wolves over the age of 12, they are too old to continue their duties. Gammas may help the Zeta, Kappa or Tau with training the juveniles. These wolves are treated with extreme respect for their years of service to the pack.
Juvenile
Juveniles are wolves under the age of two, or wolves that have not been fully trained yet. They are often ambitious, and have a passion for their chosen role. They are excited to learn to service their pack.
Pup
Newborn wolves under the age of one.
Dispersals and Vagabonds
Dispersals are wolves without a pack, that have left to form their own. Not many wolves do this, and those that do often claim to have experienced a 'sign' that they had to leave. These wolves struggle on their own and have to steal from the packs to survive. Often, a dispersal is unable to return to the pack they left, sometimes out of shame for failing to survive on their own, sometimes because they just won't be let back after leaving in the first place. Dispersals are expected to leave the territory entirely, after all, this area of Matterhorn can't hold more than two packs... can it? Vagabonds are dispersals who have the disease. Some pack wolves with the disease may also be referred to with this term.

The packs' passive prey consists of marmots, chamois, mountain hares, moles, roe deer, voles, rock ptarmigans, dormice, nuthatches and thrushes. Though, there are some prey who may fight back, leading to a dangerous hunt; ibex, mountain goats, red deer and highland cattle.
There are other animals in the area that are not regarded as prey due to how dangerous they are, though if a member of this species is taken down, they will be eaten; brown bears, bearded vultures, golden eagles, barn owls, lynxes, barn dogs, dispersal wolves (if you're desperate) and humans.
