	White Wolfos
	It's a White Wolfos. Lure it in and watch its movements. It doesn't like its tail to be touched...

White Wolfoses are white, wolf-like creatures. They were originally depicted as anthropomorphic creatures with glowing eyes, but in later games have appeared with more realistic, wolf-like forms. They are similar to the Wolfos, except that they are larger and generally take to icy climates, such as the Ice Cavern in Ocarina of Time and the Snow Realm in Spirit Tracks. In Majora's Mask, they will even disappear once spring is returned to Snowhead. However, they can also be spotted in unlikely areas as well, such as the Gerudo's Training Ground. In Ocarina of Time, one appears at the end of the Ice Cavern as its mini-boss.

Like the Wolfos, White Wolfoses will emerge from the ground when approached. They tend to fight in direct combat. In Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, White Wolfoses will circle around Link and dive in to strike with their claws. They can also block and dodge Link's attacks as well. This incarnation can be fought either by blocking or dodging its own attacks, and striking back when it lets its guard down. Identically to the Wolfos, its weak spot is its tail, and striking it will instantly defeat it. In Twilight Princess and Spirit Tracks, White Wolfoses tend to appear in packs, and charge at Link as opposed to bare-hand combat. The White Wolfoses in Twilight Princess can also dive back into the snow and reemerge to launch surprise attacks.

White Wolfos in Link's Crossbow Training

In Link's Crossbow Training, White Wolfoses appear in Level 8: Snowpeak: Defender. They inhabit the mountains of Snowpeak in packs, and can be found around the frozen lake and can ambush Link from piles of snow. Similar to their appearance in Twilight Princess, they surround Link in groups and attack by pouncing on him. They appear in much greater numbers as the Level's timer begins to runs out. They can be taken out in one shot of the Crossbow.
