It does a wonderfully long howl. I enjoyed making it howl repeatedly when I visited PTS today. It's a very cool mount

Oh damn it does it for a good number of seconds, not like..2, but more? Glorious! Damn it, I need video of it... *attempts to calm down* All in all, Dark Brotherhood patch in itself is bringing so much goodness... I love the stamina changes, and dire wolves for Pack Leader, and Call of the Pack actually becoming a useful passive! The patch is looking very wolfy~

So is the head piece just sitting on the direwolves head or am I blind and dont see a strap to keep it on the direwolf?

How exactly do you make it howl? My Wolf mount was silent the whole time.

Press the jump button while stationary.

I like the white one. Normally I'd prefer a black one, but that doom one is way too light, more a muddy brown than a deep black.

I think that's because it's standing by a Light source..

Hopefully it's much darker away from it. I'll have to see some other shots of it before I decide on that one.

But I definitely want both the grey and the white!

Doom Wolf Mount


Ice Wolf Mount


Red Pit Wolf Mount

The Ice Wolf (please let it just be a white wolf and not have any magical enhancements) is gorgeous.

Zenimax can take my money right now.

If anyone wants to check the Red Pit Wolf in the game, there is one at the stables in Kvatch.

White and black dire wolves spawn as hostile mobs, but they are not as big as the mounts and it is hard to take a good look at them while they are mauling my face.

Bit of an ethical dilemma for werewolfs lol.

I like the red wolf, and it kind of looks like a giant fox...

This looks awesome! Why isn't it available on console?

It's not even available on PC... there is a 'forest' wolf mount on PTS right now, the images are of data-mined info that 'may or may not' be coming to ESO in the future.

It does feel like a senche with a wolf skin over it, but the senche is a solid, balanced running animation.

Probably better than giving it an animation I don't like. Going to pass on basic and go for white and red.

Oh good, was hoping the running animation wouldn't be terrible and ruin the lovely wolves.

PuffyTheHamster

Awesome, was wondering what the dire wolves for the ww would look like.

In Vanguard I played a Vulmane (Canine species) that rode a Dreadwolf.

The wolf mount couldn't get any cooler. They did such a great job!!

How exactly do you make it howl? My Wolf mount was silent the whole time.

The same way you get any mount to do its 'thing' - press whatever button you have for jump (on kb+m the default key is the space bar) whilst you are mounted and standing still. Horses rear, Senche roar, Guars also kind of do a roar, the camel spits, and the wolf howls. Don't know what bears do, I don't have a bear yet.

Acrolas

There's a Skeletal Wolf Mount entry in PTS collections - Fetcher, purchased in Crown Store.
Possibly an October addition, but if it's already dead it can't have its feelings hurt by a werewolf, right?

Sausage

Horse size Wolf is going to look funny.

That Camel Spit however is fun as hell.

I do remember when I made my Camel Spit on some random players, their reaction was funny because these players were RPing at the time haha.

When it comes to lore, there are many different types of wolves found throughout Tamriel - and lore-wise I don't see why there can't be larger Alpha wolves out there, that can be tamed and ridden.

en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Wolf

I remember having read a book in Skyrim (ES:V), talking about giant wolves, but can't seem to find it anywhere online.

Edit: BTW I am soooo getting this wolf mount! Perfect for my Bosmer!

TheShadowScout

PUPPIES!

I will have to restrain myself from buying them all... it will be hard... but... the doom wolf alone ought to suffice...

Is it just me, or does it look really out-of-place? Like they just blew up an existing wolf and stuck a saddle on it?

Really? The fur looks more detailed for sure, and look at those paws! It is definitely next level in the quality of texture compared to the random enemy NPC wolves out in the wilderness, if you ask me.

Texture quality sure, but the mesh shape seems exactly the same to me. A traditional "direwolf" (which this must be, since no regular wolf would get that big) should have an overall heftier build than a regular wolf. Also, what is the lore connected to this? Why have we never seen this wolf in the Highlands before?

There's still a lot of area in Tamriel that has only been mentioned in books. It's possible that these wolves come from an area that the single player games hasn't touched on. Where, I could only guess.

Sure, and I expect they've come up with some reasonable lore in the short descriptions that go with them (will need to look at those; can anyone post them?). The easiest answer to why we haven't seen them is probably "oh, they went extinct by then"

The thing is, my Senche mount will GROWL randomly, but the Wolf doesn't do anything until you push a button. They need to have more 'random' sounds coming from the mounts... they could have the Wolf pant, huff or something randomly.

Hes going to pant alright carrying my fat heavy arse around

Now if only they'd give us the black werewolf with red eyes skin for the berserker ult to go along with the doom wolf mount. Unfortunately, ZOS don't seem to care unless the skin = crowns so maybe they should just put it in the crown store. I'm sure a lot of people(myself included) would buy it and it's not like they have to make it, it's already in the game.

AlienSlof

The wolf is gorgeous and nicely animated. Now if they'd only use those anims on dogs instead of the weird 'bunny-run' thing they do currently...

ADarklore

Has anyone else noticed that when the Wolf howls, it actually lowers its head and closes its mouth yet the howl sound continues. So the sound is very much out of sync with the animation.

Nice. It looks better in game than I thought it would.

What are those straps on it's legs?

you've never upgraded mount speed have you ?

Well at least they didn't #!*% up the wolves like they did bears.

I really like the Tundra wolf so will wait for that one. If my impatience gets the better of me I will also get the DOOM wolf.

I like how a Zenimax Bethesda game called DOOM is releasing 2016 and in the same year a Zenimax Zenimax Online micro transaction digital cosmetic item called the DOOM Wolf is releasing 2016

A bit of a contradiction there. You can't tame an alpha, otherwise it wouldn't be. In captivity, its owner would be the alpha unless the animal were given a reason to believe otherwise.

The text says they're "bred for size," which means that to get to this particular type, they simply mated the largest animals they could find. There would still be normal sized wolves in the litter, but over time there would be more large wolves produced.

The only problems here is that there came a point where they started mating similar-looking siblings and relatives, severely decreasing the genetic diversity. And these are likely closer to wolfdogs than wild wolves, especially if they were mated with domestic dogs for one or more generations.

This is why explanations can be worse than just saying "Wolf! Neat!"

Glaiceana

Got to admit, the white wolf looks great. Still no videos of the wolf mounts yet?
