| '''Wolves''' are a type of mundane canine that exists in many different worlds. Aside from [[Kamigawa]], wolves have been found in essentially every existing plane in some form or another. They are related to [[dogs]] and [[jackals]]. [[Humans]] with the ability to change into wolves are known as [[werewolves]] or [[lycanthropes]].
| | #REDIRECT[[Wolves]] |
| | |
| The first creature to bear the type was <c>Timber Wolves</c> in ''[[Legends]]''. Wolves appear in all colors except [[blue]].
| |
| | |
| ==Ulgothra==
| |
| The <c>Heart Wolf</c> is a type of wolf native to [[Ulgrotha]]. They are the standard riding mounts of [[goblin]] sub-chiefs, dignitaries and ambassadors, and [[dwarven]] [[Dwarven Trader|traders]] as well. Heartwolves make fine riding beasts for these smaller folk, and are adept at travelling quickly across difficult ground.

| | |
| ==Mirrodin==
| |
| The wolves of [[Mirrodin (plane)|Mirrodin]] were an exceptionally unusual breed, being longer-lived than the [[elves]], as wise as the [[leonin]], as sapient as unaltered [[vedalken]], and as rare as a fully organic creature in that world. Like all mirran animals, they were compleated, the last wolves in Mirrodin (now [[New Phyrexia (plane)|New Phyrexia]]) being like the <c>Rot Wolf</c>.

| ==Innistrad==
| |
| The <c>Kessig Wolf Run</c> is the homeland of Wolves and Werewolves alike. <c>Howlpack Alpha</c> and <c>Immerwolf</c> are Wolf [[Lords]].

| After [[Avacyn]] was released from the [[Helvault]], she cast a spell which granted the [[werewolves]] a choice to either remain a werewolf or to fuse the two spirits in itself (human spirit and beastial wolf spirit), giving it a permanent wolf form but granting an inner-peace. These humanoid wolves became known as '''wolfir''', and are allies of Avacyn.

| ==Throat Wolf==
| |
| '''Throat Wolf''' is a non-existent card. Shortly after the release of the first large expansion set, ''[[Legends]]'', a couple of players on [[usenet]] decided to pull a prank and start rumors about this card. Since this was before the ubiquity of the Internet, many players didn't have access to full card lists and spoiler lists, and so had no way of knowing whether this card was real or not. Later, the term was used in a variety of in-jokes, and Magic developers occasionally use it as a temporary name for a card in development.
| |
| | |
| Various versions circulate on the internet, many with really obscure or rule-technically impossible rules text. The main [[ability]] that seems consistently attributed to the throat wolf is effectively 'double first strike' or 'firstest strike', worded in various ways.
| |
| | |
| In an article in the [[Duelist]] #9, Throat Wolf was described as 5 colorless mana for a 4/4 Summon Throat Wolf. The abilities read, "Firstest Strike. Throat Wolf may attack during your opponent's untap phase. Attacking does not cause Throat Wolf to tap." The [[flavor text]] read "''The most feared of Dominia's mythical creatures, the Throat Wolf is wylie and unpredictable. Its incredible speed and attack abilities have prompted many net.wizards to wonder if it is real. Ask the Throat Wolf, he'll tell you...''"

| In the short story ''Chef's Surprise'' by [[Sonia Orin Lyris]] in the [[Magic: The Gathering]] anthology ''[[Distant Planes]]'', the main character, [[Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar]], works as a chef for the demon [[Vincent]], Lord of the Pit. All of the meals she cooks for him are actual cards from the game (for example, atog pate on honey-soaked ironroot bark; <c>Atog</c> and <c>Ironroot Treefolk</c> are both creature cards) except one: Barbequed Throat Wolf ribs.
