Wolves are canine monsters that can be found in various places around Gielinor. They have a variety of different combat levels, with level 64 wolves being the most common, and level 11 and 14 wolves only being found in the Stronghold of Security.

Their bones can be used with a chisel to create wolfbone arrowtips used to make ogre arrows, which are necessary for completing Big Chompy Bird Hunting and Freeing Skrach Uglogwee during Recipe for Disaster.

Trivia

  • Three additional variants of the Level 25 Wolves were added in June 2007; however, these currently cannot be found anywhere ingame.
  • Currently, there is an audio bug where on death soundID 6952 will play as an area sound. 6952 was added into the game on 25 January 2023, potentially being meant for the Skeletal Hellhounds spawned by Vet'ion and Calvar'ion.
