Maybe is a real wolf,or werewolf...Werewolves and wolves and very similair,so maybe this real wolf feels connection to the Hayley's child ( which is probably some kind of werewolf hybrid )
but a real wolf would not be fast or strong enough to take down all of those warlocks and i do believe that the wolf that saved hayley was tyler, the only thing that we know of that can turn into a wolf without a full moon is a hybrid and we know it wasnt klaus that only leaves one person
I don't think it's Tayler. However I believe that he will appear in New Orleans in the next episodes. I don't see how he wll manage to stand up to those characters though.. I believe Tyler's character is the least favorite and if he had to leave TVD or TO i wouldn't mind at all. Unfortunately, i don't find Michael Trevino a good actor either.. Especially when he is going to co-act with someone so talented and inspiring as Joseph Morgan.
