Wolf paws turn very well on ice!
Press W to howl!
The Wolf is the 8th Arctic animal in Mope.io. It's the equivalent of the Bear, Tiger, Gobi Bear, Hyena, Pelican and Swordfish.
Technical[]
- Upgrades from the Snow Leopard, Cheetah, Gorilla, Toucan, Pufferfish or Rattlesnake at 60K XP.
- Upgrades to the Polar Bear, Octopus, Falcon, Lion, Crocodile, Turkey (animal) or Vulture at 90K XP.
- Has a unique howl ability, which creates a slow moving, big circle projectile, "scaring" any animals caught in it. Scared animals end up being pulled with the projectile and are also slowed. It will also look like they're freezing, even if the howl is done outside of the arctic. Predators of the Wolf get scared for less time.
Appearance[]
Current[]

Gold Trimmed[]
The Gold Trimmed Wolf has gold in its ears and on its back, along with a gold tail. There are icicles above its eyes and on its cheeks, along with the tip of its tail.
Old/Legacy[]
The Old/Legacy Wolf has a plain dark grey circular body, with round, dark eyes, along with a long nose and tail. The Winter Skin is the Old/Legacy Wolf, except with a red and green hat and a red nose.
Strategy[]
As a Wolf[]
If you are hunting, just approach your prey and howl! This will stun your prey, giving you some time to catch up with it and kill it, or grab a few tasty bites out of it. You can also howl prey that evades you on rocks and hills off them, making your ability useful against Walruses and other prey that can go on hills or rocks.
Also, similar to actual wolves, wolves do good in packs. This is a good strategy in Mope.io because wolves are immune to damage from other wolves’ howls, and groups of wolves can gang up on a predator to take it down by howling at it in synergy while repeatedly biting its tail. Even if the player is not looking for high-XP kills, joining a wolf pack is still a good idea for better defense from predators and utilising the power of the pack in hunting prey. Wolves are very good on ice, making them a very agile predator, mainly against animals that can't turn well or can't slide on ice. The only problem with this strategy is agreeing on the player who gets the kill.
If you are being chased by a predator, then turn back and howl since your howl can scare predators and stun them for a crazy length of time. However, only attempt this if you're a fair distance away from them, as if the predator is right behind you and you turn around to howl at it, it can potentially take away a dangerous amount of your health. For an even greater effect, lead the predator on ice before howling at it to cause it to slide back even further.
To level up safely, eat Arctic Nuts (they give you as much as 500-1K XP!) by finding a bush in the arctic or packing snow together, although you can eat other food, Arctic Nuts are the best. Another option is to go to a Lake, and eat Ducks there. Lakes often attract prey, so you can kill animals that don't swim well in water if you see any.
Against a Wolf[]
Wolves are quite hard to kill. If you're prey to a Wolf, your best way of avoiding it is by either taking refuge on a hill/rock, or swimming away from it in water. Wolves can't climb hills, and don't swim well, and are therefore easy to avoid in those environments. However, they are fast on ice, and their howl can stun you. Try to dodge the Wolf's howl if you can. A positive of the howl is that it pushes you forward, so that evens out the stunning time.
As a predator to the Wolf, try overtake it by climbing hills and dodging howls. For a few seconds after a Wolf howls, it can't boost. If you're able to dodge the howl, utilize this small time to quickly catch up with the Wolf. Even try chasing it out of the Arctic, where it will suffer extra burning damage. Use your power-up if it helps, to damage and slow down the Wolf.

Trivia[]
- It was added on December 26, 2016, along with all the other early-game Arctic animals.
- It used to be equal to Crocodile and Octopus.
- It was moved on January 1, 2017, to tier 8.
- When the arctic was first released wolves were a tier higher than a Polar bear and could eat Polar Bears which was pretty crazy, because in real life wolves are way weaker and smaller than Polar Bears!
- When you are hit by a Wolf’s howl, a notification up saying, “A wolf’s howl scared you!”.
