A 'lone wolf' is a wolf that lives by itself rather than with others as part of a pack. Most if not all lone wolves are banished from their packs, such as former pack leaders or discarded cubs. As such lone wolves are usually stronger, more aggressive and far more dangerous then the average pack wolf by necessity.
Among non-canines, this typically refers to individuals who prefer solitude or prefer to work alone. This term is not be confused with the term hermit. Hermits distend themselves from the world and live their lives outside of society. Lone wolves live their lives on their own with very little if any friends and are often on bad terms with what is left of family or simply consider them dead and/or vice versa. However, they do still live in society in most cases.
