  • A wolf bites off one arm of a man and we briefly see it lying in the snow (there's blood from the wrist); a woman picks up the severed arm and puts it in a basket.
  • A wolf jumps, knocks down a man and leaves several men dead on the ground; we see trickles of blood at their temple and the corners of their mouth, the wolf jumps on a horse's throat and we see a dead horse on the ground in a long shot (there's no blood).
  • A huge wolf appears and smashes a man to the ground killing him, then darts off, leaving a trickle of blood on the man's temple.

  • We see a man bite another man's arm and later see bloody teeth marks in the flesh.

  • A man objects to human sacrifice, like tying a woman to a stump in the town square all night in order to attract a wolf.
