Dragon Wolf

The Dragon Wolf is a pet available from the Solomon's General Store. It was introduced on February 5th, 2013 along with the Dragon Wolf outfit. The Dragon Wolf is a pet available from Solomon's General Store for 1300 Runecoins. The Dragon Wolf is one of 3 available pets in Solomon's General Store.

The Dragon Wolf has three stages of growth - baby, adolescent, and adult. It takes roughly 15 hours for a Dragon Wolf baby to grow into an adolescent Dragon Wolf when following you, though this can be sped up by interacting with the pet. Stages can be skipped by using a Growth Surge on the pet, i.e. baby to adolescent or adolescent to adult.

It will take approximately 15 hours to reach the adolescent stage and an additional 25 hours to reach the adult stage. This time can be halved by "playing" with your pet by making it do one of its two emotes. It appears that while the pet is with you, it generates its own pet points up to a cap of 30 points. When this cap is reached, simply making the pet do an emote will allow you to retrieve the generated points, making it possible to raise the pet in half the time.

A Dragon Wolf does not need to be fed like a normal pet. Although feeding it Tasty Treat will increase the rate at which it grows by 50%, and feeding it Jelly Treat will increase it by 100%.

Like all pets and summoning familiars, it cannot enter or use its abilities in some areas of RuneScape.

There are several recolour options that you can choose in order to customize your pet. Though the colour of most of the Dragon Wolf's skin is a constant black, specific areas of the Dragon Wolf can be recoloured during each growth stage:
 * Dragon Wolf baby:
 * Dragon Wolf adolescent:
 * Dragon Wolf adult:

Abilities
The Dragon Wolf has unique abilities, similar to Summoning familiars, which increase as it ages. The pet retains abilities from earlier growth stages when it learns a new ability.

Forage
The Dragon Wolf can forage from the moment it is obtained. Some of the things that a Dragon Wolf is confirmed to be able to forage are as follows:


 * Coins: 10 to 500
 * Grimy Herbs: Guam, Harralander, Irit, Cadantine
 * Seeds: Potato, Sweetcorn, Onion, Wildblood, Jangerberry, Poison Ivy, Dwarf Weed, Whiteberry
 * Remains: Bones, Big bones, Baby dragon bones

From time to time, the Dragon Wolf will forage without being given the forage order.

Banking
The pet is able to take an item to your bank when it reaches the adolescent stage, it can take one item every 10 minutes. '''The pet's ability to bank does not work in Wilderness Level 1 and beyond (further north). If one just crosses the Wilderness Wall (and the Wilderness level display does not actually appear; thus can be considered "Wilderness Level Zero") and does not walk north, then the pet's banking ability still can be used.'''

Scavenge
The Dragon Wolf is able to 'Scavenge' when it reaches adult stage. When scavenging is turned on, your pet will automatically run and retrieve a single item from a slain enemy, though when killing multiple monsters at high speeds, this effect doesn't seem to work for every kill. To access the scavenge feature, 'Interact' with the Dragon Wolf and select 'Convenience', then select 'Scavenge'. When scavenge is selected, a menu interface will appear; You can make the pet scavenge: Gold, Runes & Talismans, Herbs & Seeds, Weapons, Armour, Metal Bars & Ore, Bones & Ashes, Raw & Cooked food and Miscellaneous. Items such as various hides and summoning charms are categorized as miscellaneous.

To deactivate scavenge, 'interact' with your pet, select 'convenience' and select 'Heel'.

Emotes
The two playing emotes for the Dragon Wolf also change as it grows from a baby to an adolescent to an adult.

Dragon Wolf baby emotes:
 * Chase Tail -The Dragon Wolf Baby chases its tail faster and faster, until it finally falls over too dizzy to stand.
 * Fetch Trick -The player pretends to throw an object, tricking the Dragon Wolf Baby into chasing after it only to reveal the trick moments later.

Dragon Wolf adolescent emotes:
 * Headbutt - The player will hold his hand in front of the wolf's nose, and the wolf will jump forward with it's head trying to bite.
 * Roll over - The wolf will form a ball and make a circle on the ground very fast.

Dragon Wolf adult emotes:
 * Goblin Wrecking Ball - The wolf will jump in the air and form a fast rotating ball dropping down on a goblin.
 * Well Done - The player will hold piece of meat on a stick, which the wolf will roast with it's fiery breath.
