The Dire Wolf

General Information

The Dire Wolf is an evil creature which is not to be underestimated. It is VERY aggressive, often moving to attack a person before the victim can see it. Though it can only take the same amount of damage as a Timber Wolf (not much), it hits harder and much more often than it's cousin. Be careful--newbies should be very wary around these animals. A few unlucky hits, and you could be lunch. Click here to see the stats and skills of this creature if it spawns as a Paragon in Ilshenar.

User Comments: Add Comment Not around since day one Submitted by Anonymous on August 8th 2006. I know its hardly important, but they werent an around when the game went live. I remember when they were introduced because they were killing people right and left since no one knew what they were and assumed they were just wolves. Musta been like 6-10 months or more after release. E-bolts Submitted by Anonymous on October 23rd 2005. When you use e-bolts on dire wolfs you REALLY feel better! Bree Annyn (sonoma) Ettieno Submitted by Anonymous on April 12th 2005. Watch out for these guys if you come across one that spawns as a Paragon in Ilshenar. It's bite will drain you quick and you CANNOT OUTRUN the paragon, even unlagged and on horseback. Necro-fun Submitted by Anonymous on February 2nd 2005. I use these on my necromancer, tame 4 of em (using dark wolf, which makes their taming requirement ZERO!) and man the pack instincts are great for anything that doesnt hit too hard! Add Comment
