 Rabid wolves are somewhat stronger than regular [[wolves]], but do not generate in [[group]]s like they do and still move at the same speed as an unhasted and unburdened hero. A hero that lacks [[poison resistance]] will want to rely on [[ranged weapon]]s if possible to lower their chances of [[instant death]], along with pushing their [[magic cancellation]] higher if possible. Hack'EM players will also have to contend with them going berserk at low enough HP.

-A '''rabid wolf''' is a new monster in [[SLASH'EM]].  They have slightly more hitpoints than regular [[wolf|wolves]], and their bite is [[poisonous]].
+A '''rabid wolf''', {{monsym|rabid wolf}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[SLASH'EM]], [[SlashTHEM]] and [[Hack'EM]]. The rabid wolf is a small and [[carnivorous]] [[canine]] [[animal]] that can be seen via [[infravision]], and may turn [[traitor]] while [[tame]]. In Hack'EM, the rabid wolf cannot be made tame, and can go [[Berserk (EvilHack)|berserk]] if it is at {{frac|3}} of its maximum [[HP]].
 ==Strategy==
-These are not a huge threat, since they are no faster than a normal player.  Take them down with [[ranged weapon]]s if you lack [[poison resistance]] and/or [[magic cancellation]], since their bite does have the potential to cause [[instadeath]].

-Unlike [[rabid rat]]s, the corpses of rabid wolves are safe to eat, and in fact provide a decent amount of [[nutrition]].
