A medium-sized canine creature, known for traveling in packs and for its long history of domestication by sapients.
Wolves are the smallest of the canine species in the Mazes. Type-designated ''canis lupus'', 11 different subspecies (called ''races'' or ''breeds'') have been identified as native to the Mazes, all of which have been domesticated or tamed at some point by sapients. The wolf breed pictured in the infobox is the ''brown wolf'' (''canis lupus lupus'' - known in the real world as the Eurasian wolf), the most common and therefore the nominate subspecies. On average, a typical wolf will be between 2 and 4 feet tall, and weighs on average 45 to 90 pounds, depending on subspecies and specific individuals.
Wolves are social creatures who usually travel in packs, each one composed of about 20 to 40 individuals, and usually led by an alpha, the wolf considered to be the leader of its pack. Four out of five alphas are male, but all are generally the most respected among their peers, if not the oldest and strongest. Wolfpacks split into squads, usually one to five wolves in each, and these squads roam the Mazes as hunters and scavengers. On occasion, "rogue" squads form, splitting off from larger packs and traveling on their own, eventually forming new packs in time.
