-Shadow wolves can be an annoyance (if not an outright threat) for heroes that lack [[cold resistance]], and their requirement of +1 or better to hit can catch heroes off-guard if they are not using weapons with any positive [[enchantment]]. However, a hero should ideally have both a source of cold resistance and enchanted weapons well before they meet shadow wolves, and their 15 [[speed]] can be matched with the hero's own speed and smart movement (e.g. luring shadow wolf packs down halls). Their ability to hit as +2 makes them somewhat decent pets should a hero obtain one.

 In ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', most of these creatures are a product of the [[dnd:Shadowfell|Plane of Shadow]], also known as Shadowfell: animals, humans and other beings that are slain by the shadows dwelling within this realm and elsewhere are reduced to shadows of themselves. The shadow wolf is also one of the three new creatures added in "Up the Garden Path", a special adventure module for ''Dungeons & Dragons'' that was originally sold at the Stoke-on-Trent National Garden Festival in the UK (held from May 1 to October 26, 1986) and the 1986 Games Day RPG convention hosted by Games Workshop at the Royal Horticultural Society Hall in London on September 27, 1986.
