==Wolves in Lugaru==

Wolves are one of the principal enemies in Lugaru.
Each wolf pack is presided over by an Alpha Wolf, who is usually the strongest wolf in the pack.
Unfortunately, wiser and more suitable candidates are unlikely to be the strongest of the pack, and thus are unable to attain the position of Alpha Wolf.

It is because of the short-sightedness of one particular Alpha Wolf, who maintains his position by brawn rather than intelligence, that the large scale massacre of the rabbits began, without thought to the sustainability of excessive hunting.

Weapons play a major role in the fierce and violent universe of Overgrowth.
Each race has its own weapon types with different abilities.
This article describes the weapons introduced so far.

== [http://blog.wolfire.com/2009/03/dog-weapons-part-one-polearms/ Polearms] ==
The polearms are longer weapons, with some sort of blade affixed to the end of a pole, to allow for greater reach. This allows for dogs to wage battles against without allowing their enemies to enter close-quarters combat, limiting the effectiveness of natural weapons such as teeth and claws.
The dogs use three major types of polearm:

== [http://blog.wolfire.com/2009/03/dog-weapons-part-two-blades/ Blades] ==
The dogs use single-edge blades on their swords and daggers, which they use at closer range than the polearms. The blades are a strong example of the rectangular motifs used in the dog culture, and carry a distinctive, polygonal-shaped blade. As with the polearms, there are three types of bladed weapons utilized by the dogs:

The dog warhammer is a massive weapon, and must be carried in both hands. It is very cumbersome and unwieldy in battle, but still remains commonly used by the leaders of [[clan Stone]], because of its cultural and historical significance (see below). Though cumbersome, the weapon is highly effective against heavily armored or unusually tough opponents.

=Throwing=

Originally, weapons could only be used in close combat situations but in a165 throwing was introduced which added ranged combat to Rabbot's abilities. Throwing will almost always result in a kill on impact, players must factor in Rabbot's movement (rolling can mess up the throw, for example), and is easy to perform (there is an auto-target system implemented which doesn't require input from the player) but has a significant downside. If missed, the target may pick up the weapon and kill Rabbot with it. This may also happen if other enemies are nearby.

The auto-target system is dead accurate (when the target is moving in a predictive manner) but there are plans to tone it down in the future.

In a198, it appears that the throwing system has been toned down. It now has a succession rate of about 80% for unarmed rabbits, and about 35% for armed rabbits.
Armed rabbits tend to block throwing by wiping it off with their own weapon.
