Dire Wolf

The Dire Wolf is a species of wolf in the world of Dota 2.

Habitat
They live in wolf dens in the Howling Weald as one of the few wildlife to not be scared off by the conflict between Lucius Longclaw and his canine clan versus Bogdugg and the Bonemeal Ogres.

Physiology
Dire wolves are no different from other kinds of wolves, but what makes them unique is their ability to shoot out quills from their backs at high velocity.

Factions
The Longclaw clan consists of dire wolves as well. Together, they often attack Commander Targan's camp.

Cuisine
According to Remi, a gastromancer of the White Orchids, the meat of a dire wolf is said to be very gamey in taste. Their quills can be fashioned into skewers for kebab dishes.
