“Ferocious, Cunning, and Wild: Unleash the Untamed Power of the Wolf!”
Appearance: Wolves, majestic creatures of the wilderness, boast a muscular build with a thick fur coat ranging from gray to brown, and occasionally black or white, blending seamlessly with their forested surroundings. Their piercing yellow eyes hold an aura of intelligence and predatory focus.
Behavior: Wolves are highly social animals, organizing themselves into tight-knit family units known as packs. Within these packs, they exhibit complex social hierarchies, with dominant alpha pairs leading the group. They communicate through a range of vocalizations, body language, and scent marking, displaying remarkable cooperation during hunts and in raising their young.
Habitat: Wolves inhabit diverse ecosystems across the Northern Hemisphere, including forests, tundras, plains, and mountains. They are adaptable creatures, capable of thriving in a variety of habitats as long as prey populations are sufficient to sustain them.
Modus Operandi: Wolves are expert hunters, relying on teamwork, strategy, and patience to pursue and bring down their prey. They often target weaker or injured individuals within herds, using stealth and coordinated attacks to overwhelm their quarry. Despite their fearsome reputation, wolves are generally cautious around humans and will avoid direct confrontation when possible.
Motivation: The primary motivation driving wolves is survival. Their lives revolve around securing food, protecting their territory, and raising their young. Packs work together to ensure the well-being of all members, with each individual contributing to the collective success of the group.

Wandering alone or in packs, wolves sit at the top of the food chain. Ferociously territorial and exceptionally wide-ranging in their hunting, wolf packs cover broad areas. A wolf’s wide paws contain slight webbing between the toes that assists in moving over snow, and its fur is a thick, water-resistant coat ranging in color from gray to brown and even black in some species. Its paws contain scent glands that mark the ground as it travels, assisting in navigation as well as broadcasting its whereabouts to fellow pack members. Generally, a wolf stands from 2-1/2 to 3 feet tall at the shoulder and weighs between 45 and 150 pounds, with females being slightly smaller.

Combat
A favorite tactic is to send a few individuals against the foe’s front while the rest of the pack circles and attacks from the flanks or rear.
Trip (Ex) A wolf that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+1 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the wolf.
