Usual Tactics
- Thornshadow Wolves prioritize flanking and knockdowns, setting up for brutal follow-ups
- They harass casters and archers, dragging them prone.
- When bloodied (Below half HP), they become reckless, focusing on a single target until death.
A twisted mockery of a wolf, made up of corrupted vines and shadows they prowl the darkened woodland realms
