}}Direwolf is an enemy from the [[Beasts]] faction.

== Spawning ==
Direwolves spawn in forests. They also can be encountered in [[Hunting Beasts]] contracts that appear in any village, but snow, tundra and forest villages are more likely to generate wolves, and steppe and swamp villages are less likely to generate them.

== Behavior ==
Direwolves rush you even if they will have no AP left to attack. They have enough AP to reach you on the first turn.

They can not have these [[injuries]]:

* [[Fractured Hand]]
* [[Crushed Finger]]
* [[Fractured Elbow]]
* [[Smashed Hand]]
* [[Broken Arm]]
* [[Cut Arm Sinew]]
* [[Cut Arm]]
* [[Split Hand]]
* [[Pierced Hand]]
* [[Pierced Arm Muscles]]
* [[Burnt Hands]]

== Tips ==

* Dangerous in the early game, when you don't have good skills and [[armor]].
* [[Swords|Riposte]] and [[Shieldwall (20 fatigue)|Shieldwall]] allow you to strike three times (and more if surrounded) while defending.
* Be careful when attacking a pack of them, they can be much stronger [[Frenzied Direwolf|Frenzied]] ones.
* Their [[morale]] easily breaks.
