Dire Wolves are somewhat common enemies found in woodland areas of the Sword Coast.
Description[]
They are more dangerous than ordinary wolves or worgs but not as dangerous as dread wolves. They are sometimes found in groups, but they are more likely to travel alone than ordinary wolves. They have no special abilities, but can be dangerous to low-level parties.
Gameplay[]
In melee, their attack is considered a +1 magical and enchanted weapon that deals 1d8 piercing damage, (adjusted for Strength bonus in Baldur's Gate II:
Shadows of Amn (2000)

Summons[]
Dire Wolves can be summoned by the Priest spell Animal Summoning I. The Wizard spell Monster Summoning III in Baldur's Gate or Monster Summoning II in Shadows of Amn can also be used. Summoned versions are virtually identical.
