Wolf

The Wolf is a mammal and member of the canine family. They can be often found in groups known as "wolf packs" that travel together. Sometimes, they are led by a leader, or alpha male, and if it is defeated, the rest of the pack may lose nerve and flee from an enemy in fright after losing their pack leader.

Role in Games
Wolves appear in Dynasty Warriors 9 and often are found in large groups of at least a dozen of them together as a single wolf pack. They can sometimes be found engaging the playable characters alongside a Bandit Chief or Bandit Head Chief alongside their regular infantrymen in most wooded areas around China, but also in some of the more hilly or rocky regions of the country.

Aside from the regular wolves, there are white, black, and silver variants that are much stronger than the standard versions. White wolves are usually found in the snowy parts of China, silver wolves around central China, and black wolves in some of the more fertile lands, such as around the Changjiang river. Later updates introduced the much stronger and powerful boss animal Wolf Pack and its stronger variant, Wolf Pack - Revisited, which can be found at their respective Cursed Stone locations in the vast wilderness of the Wu Territory along the southeastern coast of China. Further updates allowed for these animals to be captured via baited large box traps or through the use of tranquilizer arrows and thus used as battle animals by the player's character, but only when their Break Gauges are depleted to make the arrows more effective.

Wolves can be sold at stables in the various towns and cities around China for special items called "Wolf's Delicacy" that can be used to upgrade them. More gold can be earned for selling a higher level wolf that has been used in battle and grown stronger from experience with the player's character.

Wolves all come with the skill "Shocking Roar" that can send enemies flying when the player takes damage and come in several types like all combat-based animals in Power, Defense, and Stamina with random stats in health, attack, and defense upon initial capture.
