Celtic - the goddess of battle and war, Morrighan, is often depicted as a she-wolf.

Roman - not a god, but Lupus, a she wolf, is regarded as the protector of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome.

Scotland - the goddess Cailleach is often depicted riding a giant wolf.

Norse - Fenrisulfr (the oldest child of Loki and Angrboda, and the killer of Odin at Ragnarok); Sköll (Fenrisulfr's son and he who chases the chariot of the sun daily across the sky); and, Hati Hróðvitnisson ("He Who Hates" and the wolf that chases the moon across the sky nightly).

Mongolian - "Boerte chino" is the father of the Mongolian people (the mother is the doe ("Gua maral").

Japan - while not named specifically, wolves have been revered as protectors, and the Ainu believed they were descended from a wolf.

Native American - wolves are revered by most tribes and considered powerful spirit guides. The Pawnee believe the wolf was the first creature to experience death. The Chilcotin and Navajo appear to be at least two tribes who feared wolves more than respecting them.
