White Wolfos

The White Wolfos (ホワイトウルフォス, Howaito Urufosu) appears in Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess and Spirit Tracks. It is a white wolf-like creature and a cousin of the Wolfos.

Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, White Wolfos are large white anthropomorphic wolf-like creatures. They are larger than standard Wolfos but almost, if not completely, the same in strength. Like their cousins, a White Wolfos will circle around Link then close in and attack with its sharp claws. They will often block or dodge Link's attacks, making them relatively formidable foes. Wolfos in general have a major weak spot: their tails. The easiest way to defeat one is simply to dodge its attack and strike its tail when it exposes its back, which will kill it instantly.

White Wolfos are quite rare, appearing only in the Ice Cavern as a sub-boss, in the Gerudo Training Ground. There are more of them in Master Quest, including several in the Ice Cavern.

Majora's Mask
In Majora's Mask, White Wolfos are more common and a bit smaller than their Ocarina of Time counterparts but are identical in just about every other way. However, they seem to have darker paws and snout. White Wolfos appear in Snowhead and its surrounding areas. Once Link has defeated Goht, White Wolfos will disappear along with the snow, and regular Wolfos will take their place (until Link would go back in time using the Song of Time).

Twilight Princess
White Wolfos in Twilight Princess have a more realistic wolf-like appearance with a strange, ghostly sort of glow. They have the ability to dive in and out of snow as if it were water, enabling them to disappear at will and to launch surprise attacks. They also move more quickly than the White Wolfos found in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Unlike the Wolfos in previous games, they do not stand on their hind legs to attack, instead remaining always on all fours and attacking by leaping towards their opponent (in a manner more typical of an actual wolf). They typically attack in pairs or groups. They appear in large packs in Snowpeak on the way to the mountain cave, ceaselessly attacking Link on the long hike, as well as in the Snowpeak Ruins. These White Wolfos can be killed easily using standard attacks.

Spirit Tracks
White Wolfos appear again in Spirit Tracks, in the northwestern quadrant of the map, the Snow Realm. They have reverted to a more cartoony look, to match the cel-shaded style of the game. Like in Twilight Princess, they attack more often together than on their own.
