Bheriya (Hindi: भेड़िया) is a fictional character, an Indian comic book character, published by Raj Comics. Bheriya was created by Dheeraj Verma in December 1993.
In 1997, India's first digitally colored comic book Kobi aur Bheriya was published.
Origin
More than fifty thousand years ago, there was a kingdom by the name Wolfano, in which lived a highly evolved breed of Wolves who were powerful warriors and walked upright. Their king was a wolf named Wolfa who took a fancy to a human girl, Rajkumari Survaiya. She was a princess of the human kingdom Konkani. Wolfa tricked the girl into matrimony, and they had a son, Kobi.
Eventually, Survaiya saw through the trick and left Wolfa and Kobi to marry another king of Moraghah. King Konkan of Konkani tricked and destroyed the wolf kingdom of Wulfano, but guru Bhatiki—the main saviour and priest of Wolfano—saved Kobi from being killed and then brought him up, converting him into a fearsome warrior. When Kobi came of age, he and his father went to claim her. Survaiya, in a rage at this audacity, cursed Kobi and turned him into a gold statue.
Fifty thousand years later, the curse was lifted and Kobi found himself in a jungle in Assam. He started his new life with the name "Bheriya". Bheriya is a towering figure with a howling mane, twisting tail, and glowing eyes. He protects his native forest with a passion, and the natives worshipped him as their wolf God. He is also called "jungle ka jallad".
Bheriya found a master, Bhatiki, who taught him how to fight. Bhatiki split Bheriya into "Kobi" (Animal part of Bheriya – Mobos energy) and "Bheriya" (Human part of Bheriya – Phobos energy). Bhatiki did this in order to send Kobi to Wolfano, but Bhatiki failed to do so. Meanwhile, Kobi, the wolf or animal part of Bheriya, married Jane and was unable to leave the jungle. For 10 years, Kobi resided in the jungles of Assam, protecting the residents from many dangers, but sometimes endangering them due to his foolishness. Bheriya and Kobi, in spite of being part of the same body (the original Bheriya), are constantly at loggerheads, primarily because of differences in their nature. Kobi is short-tempered, foolish, and aggressive, whereas Bheriya is mature and intelligent. Tribals respect Bheriya and hail him as their saviour, whereas they fear Kobi's fury and try to keep him pleased. Nevertheless, Kobi too helps in protecting the jungle, in his own ways.[1]

Powers and abilities
Kobi could lengthen his tail to any desired length at will and use it as a potent weapon or aid. In times of extreme crises, he invokes wolf Gods and a fearsome mace materializes in his hand to smash the enemy, which comes upon calling the word "madad" – that means help. When in need, Kobi can also call for help from an army of wolves, circling his area. These wolves consider him as their god and worship him. Kobi's "wolf face belt" grants him healing power, but it is not very quick. Actually, a set of 3 divine ornaments is the source of all his powers: a necklace, 2 bracelets, and a wolf face belt.
Bheriya is a fearsome warrior having inherited all the fighting skills from the original Kobi. Bheriya is also a master of many ancient tricks and fighting skills and many times he has beaten Kobi too. There are many differences among Kobi and Bheriya. Bheriya is very wise, kind, and of human nature, while Kobi is wild, mischievous, aggressive, and in a fit of anger, he goes mad.
Both Bhediya and Kobi learned most advanced hand-to-hand combat from Gururaj Bhatiki.
Family, friends and allies
Jane – She is the lover of Bheriya who wants Kobi and Bheriya to be one again. She was once a spy of France, but during a mission, she came to Assam and fell in love with Bheriya. When Kobi and Bheriya get separated, Jane remains married to Kobi, but she believes that Kobi and Bheriya are of one soul. She is intelligent, beautiful, brave, and she had saved Bheriya's life many times.
Guru Bhatiki – Bheriya learned fighting skills under the tutelage of guru Bhatiki. He is very powerful and, in some cases, cunning too. He was one of the founders of Wolfano, Bheriya's motherland, along with Kaalnemi and Pretaal, the two villains. His only dream is to rebuild Wolfano and to bring Kobi and Bheriya to it. Bhatiki is the one responsible for the split of old Bheriya.
Fuzobaba – He is protector of the jungle. He cures every organism, human or animal. He is very wise and has the ability to talk with animals. He was once a criminal, Fajihat Singh, but later his mind changed and he started serving nature. He had helped Bheriya in his various deadly missions. Although Bheriya respects him and helps him, Kobi thinks him as his enemy, calling him "buddha-thuddha". For Jane, he is a father figure and also for the whole jungle. Every creature of the jungle respects him.
Enemies
His arch rivals include Elphanto, Tantanna, Andhadhundh, Kaigula, Kaalnemi, Pretaal, Grahno, King Luna, and Nishaachi.
