It seems many animals in Kithicor had their own factions.
So far I see Wolf, Bear, GiantBat, and FireBeetle.
I see references of this from May 99 all the way to Jan 2001, so I think it spanned the timeline.

"Actually, last night I wound up fighting some bears in Kithicor
forest, and when I killed them, my reputation with "bear" went down.
I never saw this before, so I tried killing some in other zones, but
they didn't do it. I thought that it was interesting and should
mention that there apparently IS a bear faction (and a GiantBat
faction.)"

"I got this feeling that someone wasn't happy about my killing a wolf in<br/>
Kithicor. Fortuantely not that Holly Windstalker kind of right before you<br/>
die kind of feeling, but more of a prickling along the back of your neck you<br/>
get when your 'Wolf' faction takes a hit."

"A few weeks ago a newbie was having trouble with a wolf in Kithicor. I
healed him and he killed the wolf. I then see the message "Your faction
with wolf has gotten worse"...whoa! When did they add this in? I am a
ranger so I don't ever kill wolves unless it means saving the life of a
fellow adventurer (which is what I did). Since there is now a wolf
faction...is there any way that I can raise it? I've only help kill
about 5 wolves and 1 grizzly bear in my entire 25 levels so it may not
be a problem but it is still good to know."

"Kithicor Forest is, well, wierd. There's a few strage factions there
that don't really seem to be fully implemented. Wolf is one of them,
along with Giant Bat and Firebeetle. They've always been there, at
least since release. They don't really seem to do anything, so I
wouldn't worry about it."
---
"There is factions with a lot of animals in Kithicor..
You could get lower faction with 'FireBeetle' in there.. Wolf is just
another faction that can go down I guess."
---
"The only animals that have faction are the ones in Kithicor, and even
then I think that its completely broken. You can kill as many wolves
and bears as you like, as long as its not the bears in Surefall. It
doesn't matter to your guild, or to the other animals."

I was romping around the woods of Kithicor Forest with an Ogre who was immediately attacked by a Gray wolf. Well, being in a team, I helped defend him and kill the wolf. To my surprise, I got a negative faction with "Wolf."
Is this new?? I've had to kill wolves before, rabid in Qeynos Hills and other when group member were attacked, but I never incurred a faction hit of any kind.
And this brings me to my next question, can you gain faction since it seems it can be lost?
I am a ranger, so the wolves con amiable to me. I'd like to keep it that way. Please respond with any knowledge or views on this situation.
