Behavior and habitat
Typically, a violent Pal that will attack the player on sight, emitting loud snarls as a sign of hostility. In the wild, Direhowl roam in small groups and hunt smaller Pals such as Flopie and Jolthog Cryst in packs, encircling the prey.
In addition to its hunting behavior, this Pal will often show up to scavenge the remains of both Pals and humans shortly after conflicts conclude.
Utility
