A wolf or wolves will approach the player threatening them to leave their area initially, if ignored they will attack, more likely to outright attack if hungry though.&nbsp; The player can give them meat to appease a threatening wolf temporarily, and gain a little trust.</p> <p>Packs that trust the player enough will allow them in their territory and even their den if loved.&nbsp; Packs that love a player may bring gifts. (Needs more testing).&nbsp; Packs that absolutely fear the player may attack or run away on sight unless defending their den.</p> </div> </div> <p><br /><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Requirements</span></strong><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">Vintage Story.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Shout outs</strong></span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">Shoutout to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXn5sCbCRWw">Canned Food</a><br /></span></p> <p><strong>Compatible Mods:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/footprints">Footprints</a><br /><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/bloodtrail">Blood Trail</a><br /><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/butchering">Butchering</a><br /><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/naturalfertilizer">Natural Fertilizer</a><br /><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/caninae">Fauna of The Stone Age: Caninae</a><br /><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/sleepneed">SleepNeed</a><br /><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/hudui">HudUI </a>(Needs more testing)<br /><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/hudshelf">HudShelf </a>(Needs more testing)<br /><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/configlib">Config Lib</a> (Replaces our built-in Settings&gt;Mods Config)<br /><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/carryon">Carry On</a><br />Anything that adds custom bolts/arrows.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>August 31, 2026</strong></p> <p><em>Due to ongoing issues with toxic comments on my submissions, all non-error-related comments will be hidden going forward.
