Wolf

Wolves are medium sized, agile, canine predators, commonly found throughout Tamriel. They appear almost anywhere outdoors, excluding wet environments, such as rain forests and swamps. They can also be found residing in caves, mines or forts; either as a pack, with different animals, or accompanied by a Vampire or Bandit master, who keep them as guards or companions. Wolves will attack with bites and scratches, and occasionally other special attacks depending on the type. They are hostile towards player as well as NPCs and other peaceful animals such as elk or deer. Wolves also reside on Solstheim in great numbers and are revered by the Skaal who live there. They tend to work in packs, and will attack passing adventurers, though they are quite weak and can easily be dispatched. Many wolves have contracted the disease known as Helljoint, and may pass it on to travelers who come into contact with them. The general price for a wolf's pelt is 10 septims. There are also several other versions of wolves: including the Ice Wolf (Skyrim), Pit Wolf (Skyrim), and the Timber Wolf (Oblivion), as well as a large, completely black variant found in both Skyrim and Cyrodiil. Wolves are a great source of petty soul gems, as they are easy, and seem to spawn in certain areas.
