Behavior

A wolf will wander aimlessly until a player gets within its detection radius or deals damage. If a wolf has entered its passive state far enough away from their original spawn point, they will teleport back, creating a puff of smoke. If killed, a wolf may respawn after a Day. Once a wolf detects a player, it will chase them until either the player dies or escapes its detection radius. Upon getting close, a wolf will attack a player. Sometimes, they may also run away a short distance away from the player after attacking. If a wolf is attacked by a player's Pet, they will switch to targeting the pet until a player attacks them again. If a player has an Old Taming Flute or above, they can click on a wolf to start the taming minigame. While the minigame plays, the wolf will be docile. Once it has been completed, the wolf will ask for a Morsel and Steak. The process must be repeated three times. Taming can only happen if the chosen wolf has not taken damage.

Drops

Upon death, a wolf may drop the following Items: Killing the last guard wolf of a Locked Cave will also drop the following item

Tips

Players should avoid fighting wolves early and instead focus on opening Chests. However players can kill them even with an Old Axe by circling around while attacking. On PC, users can press Ctrl once to lock camera angle, which helps to get a better angle to hit the wolf from. A Bear Trap can instantly kill a wolf. However, they are costly in the early game and not recommended unless one has the Hunter Class. Do not linger inside a location at night for too long, otherwise wolves may spawn. If past day 15, Alpha Wolves might also spawn along. Wolves that spawned on the player during night time are untameable and will despawn the next day if not killed.

Trivia

In real life, wolves live in groups and are not solitary animals like the Arctic Fox. Ironically, in-game arctic foxes spawn in groups and detect the player when a nearby arctic fox takes damage. The wolf is one of the entities that spawn with specific structures, being the Large Cabin, The Dino Kid's Cave and the Cultist Church. Standing on top of a shelf in a Large Cabin or climbing onto a Treehouse ladder makes players unreachable to wolves. During the party event, a wolf with glowing blue eyes spawned. It didn't attack or attempt to kill players, but it protected them by scaring other enemies away. This is called the "Good Wolf". They have a low chance of spawning however.
