Volkodav from the Grey Hound Clan ( _ru. Волкодав из рода Серых Псов, international title - The Wolfhound) is a 2006 Russian action fantasy film by Nikolai Lebedev based on the novel by Maria Semyonova featuring Aleksandr Bukharov and Oksana Akinshina.

In 2007, an additional prequel was filmed under the name of "Young Volkodav"

Special effects by Dr. Picture Studios, post-production by Nordisk Film Post Production (facilities), Reel Sound (sound). Sound recorded in DTS (Dolby Digital).

The rather long Russian title was taken because the short one was taken by 1991 film "Volkodav" which is not in any way connected with the 1995 Semyonova novel.

He was condemned to death, but survived to wreak revenge for the murder of his clan. The last member of the clan of the Grey Dogs became a fearless warrior by the name of Wolfhound. After cheating death in the mines, Wolfhound sets out on a journey with his constant companion, the Earthbound Bat.

After making the long journey to the Maneater’s castle, Wolfhound finally conquers his archenemy. He also frees two prisoners, the sage Tilorn and slave-girl Niilit. Wolfhound accompanies them to the city of Galirad, which has been thrown into turmoil. The evil druid Zhadoba is planning to attack the city at any moment. The king of Galirad, to save the city from destruction, is giving his daughter away in marriage to Vinitar, a young warrior who promises to protect Galirad.

Princess Elen must travel to the land of her new husband, and asks Wolfhound to be her guard in this long and dangerous journey. Wolfhound agrees to serve the princess and is caught up in a whirlwind of mysterious events, as the true purpose of the journey is gradually revealed...
