Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Fiendish Howl (Recharge 5-6). The Fiendish Wolf lets out a terrifying howl. Each creature within 60 feet of the wolf that can hear the howl and is not a demon must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the Fiendish Howl of all Fiendish Wolves for the next 24 hours.

Description

Fiendish Wolves are malevolent creatures that inhabit the darkest corners of the Abyss. Twisted by demonic forces, they roam the Abyssal planes in packs, hunting for souls and causing terror wherever they go. With their keen senses and supernatural agility, they make formidable predators. When they unleash their dreaded Fiendish Howl, even the bravest of souls can be filled with dread.

Combat

Smite Good (Su): Once per day the creature can make a normal melee attack to deal extra damage equal to its HD total (maximum of +20) against a good foe. 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.

Skills: *Wolves have a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by Scent.
