The Poisoned Wolf is a variant of the Wolf found only in the Zone of Contamination. They were introduced in the Part 4 Buried Echoes update for players that purchase the Tales from the Far Territory addon.
Overview
Suffering from extreme malnutrition from a lack of hunting opportunities owed to the intense pollution present within the Zone, Poisoned Wolves are more ragged in appearance compared to regular Wolves. Their fur is much more messy and matted and their bodies are much more lean in appearance due to a lack of stored body fat.
They are easily identifiable from a distance due to how they carry their heads much lower to the ground than a regular, healthy Wolf. They are also the only Wolf variant inside the Zone of Contamination.
Drops
A Poisoned Wolf Carcass will drop a Wolf Pelt and 2 Fresh Guts, but due to the extreme malnourishment and contaminated meat of the animal, no harvestable Wolf Meat is present on a carcass.

Behaviour
Poisoned Wolves behave mechanically to that of regular Wolves, forming small packs, barking, growling, and stalking any prey they manage to find, aside from a few key differences:
- Unlike regular Wolves, Poisoned Wolves seem to have a keener sense of smell and awareness of their surroundings due to intense starvation, resulting in them spotting and smelling prey from further distances than normal Wolves would.
- Confrontations are far more shambolic when they are aware of a player, as do not show any fear of lit Torches or Flares. This makes it impossible to simply outwalk Poisoned Wolves without consequence in some cases.
- Poisoned Wolves have less health, due to their emaciated condition.
- Being attacked in a Struggle by a Poisoned Wolf slowly builds up Chemical Poisoning Risk upon the player, and can result in an Affliction if the player's Poisoning levels are already too high.
- A Poisoned Wolf Carcass has no harvestable meat.
Like all predators, Poisoned Wolves glow green and become a more aggressive Aurora Predator when the Aurora is active. Poisoned Wolves will not willingly enter Contaminated Chemical Hazard areas in order to attack the player or any prey animal. Campfires and a working Flashlight will still force a Poisoned Wolf to keep its distance from a player.
