->''"...Thus the evil forces of darkness were sealed forever to rot in their own monstrosity. They got what they deserved. This is according to the official books of history. But that's how it is... the official books of history are always written by the winners."''
-->-- '''End of Wurr's OpeningMonologue'''

''[[http://paperiapina.deviantart.com/gallery/401612 Wurr]]'' is a webcomic by Finnish artist Papermonkey, uploaded on Website/{{deviantART}}.

The story opens with what looks to be a stereotypical plot--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 nicely rendered art, and the artist's attention to anatomy and realistic (barring RuleOfCool) mutations with the hellhounds, along with the incredibly detailed backstory of the world. The first volume of the comic is now in print, [[NoExportForYou unfortunately only in Finnish]].

----
!!This webcomic provides examples of:

* ActionGirl: Surama.
* AlienSky: The sky in the Crater is covered in dark smoggy clouds. For the hellhounds, the normal blue sky is the alien one.
* AlternateUniverse: Where the story takes place. The world is inhabited by intelligent dogs in a rough equivalent of the Copper Age, and humans (and thus the types of dogs they breed) have never existed.
* AmbiguousGender: The Whispering Ones, who have no functional genitalia.
* ArtShift: The comic's introduction and certain other scenes are drawn in a simpler style, reminiscent of cave drawings.
* AxCrazy: Niftynose, who starts a fight in the middle of a (fairly) rational discussion by ''shooting lightning from his nose''.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The badgerjaws look really nice, and it ''is'' true that the dogs in the story have a wider range of motion in their legs than normal dogs, but realistically they still wouldn't be very effective weapons. In order to do any damage with them, the dogs would have to all but jump on top of their enemies. The fact that they face backwards also means that the wielder would likely savage his own chest and stomach on them accidentally in combat.
* BeardOfEvil: Subverted by the original Iralbe.
* BerserkButton: [[http://paperiapina.deviantart.com/art/Wurr-page-74-185204577 Grimmon is not]] [[http://paperiapina.deviantart.com/art/Wurr-page-85-194197835 a wolf]].
* TheBerserker: Certain hellhounds suffer from a thing called [[http://paperiapina.deviantart.com/art/Wurr-page-46-154693024 "panic madness"]]: when they get scared enough, they completely flip out and start attacking everything nearby, regardless of friend or foe. One example is Arramos, the gateguard.
** Turns out [[spoiler: Hafmar]] [[http://paperiapina.deviantart.com/art/Wurr-page-175-380118695 is another one]].
* BewareMyStingerTail: Pyramos has a long prehensile tail with a bone-blade at the tip, which he uses as an effective weapon.
* BigEater: Morri
* BigNo: Hafmar lets one loose when Iralbe informs them that Pyramos will take their territory.
* BodyHorror: The hellhounds have been exposed to mutagenic Black Touch for generations, resulting in strange mutations such as [[VertebrateWithExtraLimbs extra limbs]], [[ExtraEyes extra eyes]], [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily too many teeth]], strange skeletal structures, and countless other strange features.
** The most mutated ones are called deepblooded and [[CantHaveSexEver are forbidden to breed]]. Even more grotesque are the cliffhounds, who live on the outer slopes of the Crater and guard it against intrusion.
* BRollRebus: Used a couple of times for comic effect.
** "Dog[[labelnote:*]](Azrabak)[[/labelnote]] + Pack = Death; Iacar = No Death; Dog + Iacar = No Death?"
* CallASmeerpARabbit: 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.
* CantHaveSexEver: The deep-blooded are forbidden from mating; they are so heavily mutated that their mutations endanger the pups, [[DeathByChildbirth the mother,]] [[TraumaCongaLine or both]].
* ConjoinedTwins: In a weird sort of way- the Gateguard's mutation started as this, with a [[Myth/ClassicalMythology 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.
* DarkIsNotEvil
* DisabilitySuperpower:
** Despite all of Crippled's weaknesses, he has excellent sonar-like hearing.
** Iralbe's heat vision.
* DrJerk: What little we see of Iralbe senior indicates him to be this.
* DontTryThisAtHome[=/=]DoNotAttempt: 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."
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: [[http://paperiapina.deviantart.com/art/Unfinished-tale-of-Wurr-279909210 this]] bonus strip.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Crippled, who is...crippled.
* ExtraEyes: Iacar (above his normal left one), Morri (three pairs and [[ThirdEye seventh in the middle of his forehead]]), Niftynose (small ThirdEye),... Seems to be a somewhat common mutation.
* EyelessFace: Iralbe has blank skin covering heat sensors where his eyes should be.
* EyeScream: [[http://paperiapina.deviantart.com/art/Wurr-page-173-375534093 Courtesy of Hafmar]].
** Also present in some of the extra drawings Papermonkey has on her Website/DeviantArt. [[http://paperiapina.deviantart.com/art/Wurr-character-design-78195663 One of the Old Ones]] (sort of the head council of the Crater) has curved horns that grow towards his eyes. At some point in his past, his left eye was pierced by one of his own horns; the other horn was broken off before the same thing could happen to his right eye.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Iralbe, again; in compensation for not having eyes in the usual place, he has them on his ''tongue''.
** Other hellhounds also have extra eyes in other places, such as on their legs (one dead hellhound is identified this way). Eyes not near the head tend to be non-functional due to lack of an optic nerve.
* FantasticRacism: Dogs against Hellhounds and Wolves.
* FeatherFingers: Subverted- while the dogs don't have hands, they can move their paws in a way that their innermost toe acts as a thumb, with three fingers, better explained and illustrated [[https://www.deviantart.com/paperiapina/art/Hound-handiwork-189208113 here]].
* FightingForAHomeland: Or more accurately, searching, at least for now.
* FunetikAksent: Iacar fpeakf with a lifp becaufe of hif large fangf.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Frequently, usually involving Surama.
* TheGhost: We're frequently told about the cave beasts, but never get to see them outside of ominous cave-drawings and shadows.
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: One of Pyramos's many mutations lets him be very good at this.
* HairRaisingHare: Cave beasts are mutated rabbits the size of bears and a group of them is enough to drive Pyramo's pack from their territory (and thus start the story), while in the doglands Surama expresses amusement that the rabbits there on bite back.
* HandyHelper: Everyone (mostly Iacar) to Crippled.
* {{Hellhound}}: While they are called hellhounds, they don't fill the usual roles. Instead, they are just large, heavily mutated dogs.
* InsistentTerminology: Grimmon is ''not'' a wolf!
* LargeHam: Pyramos. Lampshaded [[http://paperiapina.deviantart.com/art/Did-someone-order-a-Large-Ham-198028028 here]].
* TheMedic: Iralbe. In comic, this role is known as a "wounder."
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: ''[[UntoUsASonAndDaughterAreBorn Twins]]'' Surama and Hafmar.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Hafmar, having two rows of sharp teeth, top and bottom!
* {{Mordor}}: The Crater, especially from the dogs' point of view.
* MutagenicGoo: The Black Touch found throughout the crater; its effects on an entirely normal dog haven't yet been shown, but given that it can make the already-mutated hounds even more so, it likely wouldn't be pretty.
* MyEyesAreUpHere: Azrabak was looking at Iacar's mouth instead of his eyes, since he finds multiple eyes disconcerting. Cue Morri staring at him from the other direction...
* NaturalWeapon: Pyramos's blade tail.
* NoBiologicalSex: 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.
* NothingButSkinAndBones: Sinjal/Crippled, due to his severe digestion problems.
* OneWordTitle: The title is just ''Wurr''.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: 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.
* OurOrcsAreDifferent: WordOfGod states that the {{hellhound}}s are essentially the Blizzard variant [[FurriesAreEasierToDraw in animal form]].
* PartiallyCivilizedAnimal: Well, 'animals', plural. They're talking dogs, and tend to act like talking dogs. They do, however, adorn themselves and have technology and an economy.
* HandOnWomb: Well, Paws on Womb, actually, 'cause they don't have hands. Niavel [[http://paperiapina.deviantart.com/art/Wurr-page-226-569454529 does this with both forepaws on page 226]] [[spoiler:after Iralbe warns her that unless her pups take primarily after her, half of them are likely to be stillbirths]].
%%* PerpSweating: [[spoiler:Attempted by Surama on Azrabak]]
* ProudWarriorRace: What little we see of wolf culture seems to indicate they are this as the wolf prisoner mentions raiding dog territories and is greatly impressed by the hounds combat ability.
* PsychoElectro: Niftynose can summon lightning using the structure on his nose, and he is ''very'' unstable.
* SiblingRivalry: Surama and Hafmar.
* SiblingYinYang: Again, Surama and Hafmar; they are twins with completely opposite personalities, him shy and nervous and she brash and aggressive.
* ShockAndAwe: Niftynose's mutation allows him to draw electricity in and send out lightning bolts through the horn on his nose.
* ShownTheirWork: The amount of detail put into realistic anatomy and mutations is really quite incredible. [[http://paperiapina.deviantart.com/art/Wurr-page-66-178432132 At one point,]] the artist spends several paragraphs explaining that dog teeth are generally dull and meant to crush windpipes and major arteries, not cause huge blood splatters.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Surama is the only female in the pack. She '''isn't''' TheLoad.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Iacar forbids the uses of lethal force against other hounds or dogs[[note]]the only canine fatality caused by them was due to [[spoiler:Hafmar]] not being in the right state of mind[[/note]], this is something [[spoiler: one of the dogs chasing them notices.]]
* UglyGuyHotWife: {{Inverted}} [[http://paperiapina.deviantart.com/art/Wurr-character-design-78195663 by a couple of side characters.]] He looks like an elegant sighthound; she looks [[{{Gonk}} more like a fuzzy hippo than a canid]].
* TheUnpronounceable: Azrabak's name apparently is this for the hounds. Cue the nickname "Bakbak".
* VertebrateWithExtraLimbs: A possible result of the Black Touch. Sometimes they're functional, sometimes they're not; Hafmar is the only member of the main pack with any, having an extra pair of grasping claws just in front of his ordinary forelegs.
* MediaNotes/VoiceTypes: Of the Basso profundo type. Morri is stated to have a very deep voice, [[PaintingTheFourthWall which is displayed by heavier lines on his speech bubbles]].
* {{Xenofiction}}: All of the main characters are [[CivilizedAnimal civilized mutant dogs]].
