Wolfos will emerge from the ground when approached. They fight in direct combat, and can duck down to block [[Link]]'s attacks. They attack by circling Link and diving in to strike with their claws. One strategy is to [[Targeting System|Z-Target]] them and use the [[Shield]] constantly, then attack when it drops its guard. Another strategy is to back away when the Wolfos goes to attack, which will cause its raking claws to miss. It will then spin around, leaving its back exposed. If Link hits the tail, it will be defeated instantly.<ref>{{Cite|So you don't know about the Wolfos? Lure it in and watch its movements.

==Other Appearances==
==={{OoT|-}} (Himekawa)===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
Wolfos appear in {{OoT|Himekawa}}, fighting Link and [[Mido]] in the Forest Temple. More are also seen as minions of the Baku Tree.

Though they do not appear physically, {{Plural|HWDE|Crossbow|link}} in {{HW}} are traditionally used to ward {{Plural|HWDE|Wolfos}} away from flocks of {{Plural|HWDE|Cucco|link}}.<ref name="Crossbows"/>

Wolfos appear as enemies in {{CoH}} where they can be found in forested areas and dungeons. Like most enemies, they can only move to the beat of the music and move every two music beats. However, they can move and attack in all eight directions, including diagonally, which can make fighting large packs of them dangerous. In fact, a large pack of Wolfos does appear within a section of the {{Term|CoH|Lost Woods|link}} along with a single {{Term|CoH|Black Wolfos|link}}, the latter of which always spawning near the exit where the heroes are supposed to go in order to reach the {{Term|CoH|Lost Swamp|link}}.

Fortunately, they will only attack {{Term|CoH|Cadence|link}}, {{Term|CoH|Link|link}}, {{Term|CoH|Yves|link}}, and {{Term|CoH|Zelda|link}} if they're not looking directly at them. When they do look at the Wolfos, they will change their course of direction and hop away from the heroes, keeping their eyes on them at all times until they turn around or until the {{Term|CoH|Wolfos}} moves to a position either behind or adjacent to the hero where they cannot see them.

Before moving and attacking, they will always crouch down and bare their long, saber-tooth-like fangs for one beat before hopping onto another tile, dealing damage to anyone who's standing in their way. They share this pattern with other {{Term|CoH|Wolfos}} species, such as the {{Term|CoH|White Wolfos|link}} and {{Term|CoH|Red Wolfos|link}}.

Their movement pattern is based on the Hellhound enemies from ''Crypt of the NecroDancer''.
