As a Space Wolf grows older and more experienced, the [[Canis Helix]] — the unique aspect of the Space Wolves [[geneseed]] — causes more extreme physical changes. By the time they have attained the status of Grey Hunters, their hair has literally turned grey, their fangs have lengthened, their hides have toughened, and, in some extreme cases, their eyes may turn yellow, until their resemblance to the wolves of [[Fenris]] is greater than ever.{{Fn|1a}}
It is usually from Grey Hunter packs that a brave, skilled warrior will be chosen to join the [[Wolf Guard]]. For this to happen is a great honour to both the individual marine and his pack. The pack may well compose a saga to commemorate the warriors deeds and relate them to future battle-brothers. These sagas both impart battle knowledge to younger marines, and inspire their courage and bravery, causing them to try to outdo their predecessor. After serving as a Grey Hunter for a time, the pack will be formed into the heavy weapon team, known as the [[Long Fangs]].{{Cite ThisFn|1b}}
