The shadow wolf, d, is a monster added in SLASH'EM. Its stronger bite attack can do cold damage, and it is somewhat fast.

Strategy

Shadow wolves are slightly slower and weaker versions of mist wolves. They can be a threat if you lack cold resistance, but are otherwise unremarkable for when they appear.

Encyclopedia entry

This evil creature (_canis tenebrous_) lurks in the darker, more sinister corners of the world. Its bite is known for its chilling effect upon humanoid flesh, and it is not a tameable animal.
