Wolves were canine pack hunters that were excellent trackers by scent. They were shrewd hunters and worked as a team, surrounding and tripping their prey.[3] They were very common as companions for rangers and druids.[6]

That howling? Wolves - or folk caught in their jaws, who want all Faerûn to know they're dying. They could let me sleep, inconsiderate dolts.
