| "Alarm flashed from every pelt as Jaypaw detected a strange tang on the breeze. It was the first wolf scent he'd smelled. It reminded him of the dogs around the Twoleg farm, but there was a rawness to it, a scent of blood and flesh that the dogs did not carry. He was thankful it was faint." |

Wolves are large, carnivorous dog-like animals that live in packs.[1]
Description[]
- In the Warriors series, wolves rarely appear. They are large canines that live near the mountains. Wolves live in packs and feast upon prey, possibly including cats as the Tribe is wary of them. Jaypaw observed that their scent is akin to dogs, though their scent is mingled with flesh and blood. According to Stormfur, while wolves are too clumsy to live in the mountain terrain, they prefer to live in open areas, such as the foothills of the mountains, and can travel quickly. They can also howl and have a strong sense of smell.[1] They may make loud noises when disturbed.[2]
Relation to cats[]
- "Let's behave like warriors, not wolves."
- ―Squirrelstar Star, page 168
- The Clan cats do not live in proximity of wolves. The Clans appear to have some knowledge of them however; at least two cats are named after wolves: Wolfheart and Wolfstep. Coincidentally, both cats are gray.[4][5]
History[]
In the Power of Three arc[]
Eclipse[]
- Stormfur and Brook accompany Brambleclaw, Squirrelflight, Tawnypelt, Crowfeather, Breezepaw, Lionpaw, Hollypaw, and Jaypaw to the foothills of the mountains to exchange farewells while the Clan cats return home. They stop to hunt but they hear the howls of a nearby wolf pack. The proximity of the pack and the fresh scents of their fresh-kill prompts the two groups to bid farewell and return to their respective homes.
In the A Starless Clan arc[]
Star[]
- When Nightheart reaches Icewing, Duskfur, and Mothwing after being chased by the dogs, Icewing comments that it had sounded as though he had disturbed a wolf pack. Later, as the Clans attack RiverClan and ShadowClan torments the RiverClan warriors, Squirrelstar interferes and tells the ShadowClan cats not to behave like wolves.
