Direwolf

 is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma.

A cousin of the Wolf, the Direwolf exhibits increased agility and attack power and is even more deadly in packs. These snowy residents, while highly resistant to Ice-type attacks, are highly susceptible to Fire-type attacks; it is recommended to have some Fire spells on hand.

Description
Direwolves are a white, stronger, and more vicious version of the common Wolf seen roaming around Gransys. Direwolves are more commonly found in the northern parts of Gransys; for example, many can be found near Windbluff Tower in the southern edge of the Northface Forest or near the Healing Spring in the middle of Deos Hills.



Direwolves are not only stronger, but smarter too. Direwolves will execute stronger teamwork with its pack, and will attack using guerilla tactics if outmatched. A Direwolf caught on fire will roll on the ground to quickly douse the flames.

Locations

 * Northface Forest
 * The Everfall

Drops

 * Large Fang
 * Direwolf Pelt

Tactics

 * Weak against Fire enchanted weapons and spells (like Comestion).
 * Fighters, Assassins, Mystic Knights: Burst strike will impale fast moving enemies like Dire Wolves.
 * Striders: Ensnare/Implicate can be an effective way of easily bringing the Direwolf down, leaving it vunerable to your melee attacks. This can make for a quick and easy kill if you do not have a bow.
 * Striders, Rangers, Assassins, Magic Archers: Cutting Wind will close the distance against fast moving Dire Wolves.


 * If heading north past the Stone of the North, be wary and well prepared at low levels, as Direwolves will most likely team up with Snow Harpies, which can be a lethal combination.
