Wolves

Life Cycle
Newborn:  Newborns are black, brown or albino in color. Markings and mutations do not appear at this stage.

Puppy: After two real-life days of being newborns, wolves enter the Puppy stage. At this point the base color, eye color, nose and paw pad color, mutation(s) will appear. Puppies remain inside the den and rely on the protection of adult wolves.

Adolescent: After another 15 real-life days, every aspect of their appearance (markings included) are visible. Adolescents can hunt and train, but are still too young to breed.

Adult: 60 real-life days after being born, a wolf will reach adulthood. They are fully-functioning members of the pack and are able to breed, hunt, etc.

Death: Assuming your wolf doesn't die of illness or injuries or turn Soulless due to starvation, they will die between the ages of 8 and 12 in-game years, or 2 to 3 real-life years. If they die of old age, they will earn a place in the shrine. You can pay your respects to them there, earning blessings from them in return.

Dispersal Wolves
Aside from breeding and getting wolves via trade or transfer, you're also able to encounter dispersal wolves. Dispersal wolves are wild adult wolves which are unaffiliated with any pack. Thus, dispersal wolves may be recruited to your pack. They are randomized and may possess any markings or colors found on the wolves in the given territory or be any of the species of the wolves in that location. Blue and albino bases will not be encountered in the wild. Players with standard accounts may accept one per day. Players with supporter accounts may accept two. These wolves are ready to breed. It is in your best interest to train them, however. Their skills will be very unrefined.
