A strong wild canine, with sharp teeth and a healthy appetite. “Teacher: How does a dog smell? Student: I don't know. Teacher: Correct!” -Traditional Spanish joke.

Useful Info

Wolves are very fast canines that travel in packs, slightly stronger than hounds but generally not too threatening. They can be found wild in the Lair and the Ice Cave, and appear elsewhere tamed by Grum.

Tips & Tricks

• You can summon your own wolves with a moderately high spell power Call Canine Familiar spell.
• Be careful when fighting them off in a spriggan druid's forest. Slugging it out with a pack of wolves becomes much more dangerous when someone casts Awaken Forest in the middle of the fight.

History

War dogs were removed in 0.13, and wolves' stats were bumped up to compensate. Grum's pack of war dogs became a pack of wolves in that version.
