**Alpha Aura.** The Alpha Wolf can emit a powerful aura that inspires nearby wolves, granting them advantage on attack rolls and saving throws while they can see or hear the Alpha.

**Multi-attack.** The Alpha Wolf can make two attacks: one with its Bite and one with its Claws.

Actions

**Bite.** Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

**Claws.** Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) slashing damage.

Tactics
---
Alpha Wolves are the leaders of their packs, and they are larger, stronger, and more intelligent than their kin. They use their Alpha Aura ability to inspire and coordinate their pack, making them even more dangerous in combat.

In battle, Alpha Wolves use their Multiattack ability to make both a Bite and Claws attack on their turn, dealing significant damage to their foes. They may target the strongest or most heavily armored opponents first, using their Pack Tactics ability to gain advantage on their attacks.

If any of their packmates are in danger, Alpha Wolves will move to protect them, using their Aura to bolster their allies' defenses. They may also use hit-and-run tactics, retreating when their pack is in danger and then regrouping to strike again.

Overall, Alpha Wolves are fearsome foes that require careful planning and teamwork to defeat. Players should be prepared for a tough fight when facing them, and may need to use creative tactics or magic to overcome their formidable abilities.
