Wolf



Wolves are neutral mobs that can be found roaming around forests and are often together in packs. They were added in Update 0.9.0.

Wolves are mobs that appear to be based on the arctic wolf which can be allied with the player once tamed by being fed bones by tapping down on the "Tame" button at the bottom of the screen. They gain a red collar once tamed.

Wild
Wild wolves spawn in Taiga, Plains and Forest biomes. They wander aimlessly, but they sometimes coordinate and kill sheep. Wild wolves may turn hostile towards the player if attacked, or a nearby wolf is attacked, which is why it is unwise to attack a wolf near it's pack. Hostile Wolves will never turn neutral.

Tamed
Once tamed, a wolf will follow the player wherever they go. It will shake itself dry whenever it reaches land after a swim in water. Tamed wolves teleport towards the player if they are too far. Tamed wolves can also be made to sit down by long-holding them, or pressing the 'stand' button. Tamed wolves take damage from falls, cactii, lava, fire, drowning, etc., like most entities. Tamed Wolves' collars can be dyed in the PC version; this may be added to Pocket Edition in the future.

Breeding
A Wolf can only be bred when it's health bar is fully restored. It can be breeded using any type of meat, but not fish. Wild wolves can be fed meat, but cannot be breeded till tamed.

Combat
Tamed Wolves will attack any mob the player attacks, and will attempt to kill it. Tamed Wolves can easily defeat Skeletons, and Zombies , but struggles a bit against spiders. It is a bad choice against Creepers, as unlike PC, wolves will attack creepers, and a creeper can blow up easily on the wolf, killing it. Wolves are also a bad choice against Endermen due to their high health.
