>>28460244I disagree, they are both based on wolves.
The ears of rockwulf are the only thing that could somehow point to coyote and it's obviously just an artistic choice to match the neck rocks design.
Coat color indicates nothing since there are plenty subspecies for wolves.
Both wolves and Coyotes have lanky legs, only that Coyotes are smaller in size so of course the legs look more lanky.
Snouts and muzzle also vary a lot from sub specie to sub specie too.
Since wolves and coyotes are on the same genus it is easy to get confused when the pokemon we wanted don't look exactly like we wanted them to look.
