lone wolf. maybe he missed the significance of lone in that phase when he heard it first and thought it could be dropped. That is my working assumption, it happens.
Whether or not the natural world has such wolves, its a fictional archetype.
It is a particularly common theme in Japanese fiction, where the deviation from the social hierarchy requires a stong force of individual will. Interesting it is also common in Japanese technology breakthrough documentaries.
Ogami Itto - Lone wolf and cub is the first thing that comes to mind when the author says wolf.
