Even if Solas isn't actually a wolf, I think its a fair bet to say that he considers them his totem animal, of sorts? I mean, the Dalish can't be completely off when he spends his time in Skyhold painting wolves and wears a wolf jaw around his neck.
I personally think he's a wolf in the same sense that Flemeth is a dragon. Its just their preferred shapeshift form. For whatever reason, Solas was remembered more for that form than anything else.
Well we hear wolves when,

Did anyone else wonder?
Honestly, yes. I have wondered this exact thing.
All the wolf stuff is a bit confusing. I mean, I know that's how Fen'Harel is depicted and all, but it's not like he's actually a wolf or would be inclined to run around and act like one. Ascribing behaviors and actions to Solas based on the mythical-ish interpretation of him is just odd to me. Especially knowing now how much of the story was wrong. We still don't have the full tale. Not gonna jump to conclusions until we have more info, personally.
I mentioned this before, but Solas is shown in an animal form far more often than the rest of the pantheon seems to be. I bet he was often physically a wolf, we just haven't seen it yet.
I looked at the Bioware store 'cause it said there were new giclees in stock...I'm still waiting for Solas' romance card to be made into one. Seriously, I would be on that so fast I'd get dizzy.
Ahhh -- the "Lovers" print is back in stock too! I missed it the first time and I just swooped in and grabbed one! I hope I don't miss the Solas one I would be heartbroken.
So... the hotfix should be available soon, yes? Does anyone know what time?
I just checked and there hasn't been an update on the release time yet. Unfortunately.

Oh, I think most of us wondered. I'm going to pay attention with the next Inquisitor I get to that point and try to tell exactly what direction the howls are coming from. If they're coming from the direction of the quest marker then... well. lol
More artwork of young Solas in dreads.

I think it would make more sense if the howls are coming from behind you--the direction your Quizzy looks as you change areas. Perhaps he was trying to push your towards the rest of the group. If I'm beaten and exhausted, I don't want to head towards a pack of wolves.
Actually I would bet he has a huge wolf form. Just like Mythal turned into a dragon. I think they all had animal forms.
I get that, but it's not like anyone has made a big-deal dragony issue about Flemeth or anything. The wolf stuff is to me like if people would start talking about Flemeth flicking her tongue or something. 
Being able to take a form as part of your abilities or magic doesn't automatically mean you're going to act that way. If I could turn into a dragon I'd still do person stuff when I was in person form, and even if I were a dragon or an owl or a deer when changed one would assume I would still have the mind and reasoning of a person and would act accordingly. You aren't going to start kicking a leg if your ears are touched, because... really? Just doesn't make sense to me. It's silly, and not cute-silly to my mind.

Actually, I think this was probably correct. Those translated codex entries make reference to the follower of one of the gods taking on a shape with wings, which was considered treason because he didn't follow the right god or something? It was hard to parse. But I think all of the gods had totemic animals. Mythal - Dragon. Fen'harel - Wolf. Andruil - Hare. Dirthamen - Bear. Falon'din - Owl. Ghilan'nain - Halla. I think June's might've been a stag, looking at his iconography again. Not sure about the others.
They would most likely be nature magic of the old world.

LOL That's true enough. That thought popped into my head right after I made the post. XD
IS THAT
IS THAT SOLAS SMOKING PIPEWEED
Because if it is I want a "YOUU SHAAALL NOOOT PAAAASS" AU right now.wait does this make lavellan frodo
It reminds me of a Solas/Blackwall banter
Blackwall: You remind me of someone I used to know. He was fascinated with the Fade and spirits too.
Solas: A mage?
Blackwall: (laughs) No, just a man who liked eating these strange purple cactus berries. I don't think he was ever actually in the Fade.

Agreed, Solas doesn't display animalistic traits at all (still can't get over all the marking. Just...no). I can buy him turning into a wolf. But he's as much a wolf normally as Morrigan is a raven, or a giant tainted spider.
I can't help but secretly hope for something like Bigby's wolf form.

Heh. I think it probably looks more like that massive demonic wolf with the multiple eyes that we see in his non-romanced card.
I like to think of Solas's wolf form like Moro the Wolf God from Princess Mononoke.

There you go, you said it far better than I did. Thank you.
Solas has the most adorable feet. I don't even know why.. I think it might be because they sort of turn in a little. Sooo cute.

I finally crafted Dalish armor for my rogue and love the barefoot duo running around together. THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE.
Does anyone else kind of hope to see a scene where Lavellen is in some terrible danger only to have Solas swoop in in wolf form and completely wreck their opponents? I think that'd be a very, ah, nice way to be introduced to it 
Stupid thing, I don't dare to advance in my newest game where I made a elven lady for Solas because his romance scares the **** out of me...
I kind of know what to expect, but I can't progress...I'll draw Solas pictures until I'm ready I guess.
Him smiling, because I'm starting to doubt if I can draw him smiling after his romance....
What is wrong with me, I haven't even started...And I'm not even interested in romances really...but it fascinates me! damn it!

I think everyone would be able to hear the collective contented sigh of all Solasmancers everywhere if that happened.

I'd prefer the opposite, personally.
I mean, she might not know she's saving him specifically from x situation, but she'd get a heck of a surprise.
