Warg Wolves are basically just beefier Wolves, with more HP, Attack, and Evasion, but still no Defense. Their Attack is high enough that it isn't a bad idea to take them out first in mixed groups with normal Wolves, though Werewolves are a higher priority because they can inflict Poison. Just watch out for their Evasion, as they can be hard to consistently hit. It's probably worth burning a Spell like Fire2 if you run into a group of these on the way to town.

Wolves have decent evasion for low-level enemies, but few HP and zero Defense. Most characters are able to take them down with one reasonably lucky hit as soon as level 1. Their damage isn't very impressive either. By the time you upgrade your Weapons in Pravoca, Wolves are just fodder.

Werewolves are similar to Warg Wolves—similar Attack, less HP but more Defense—except for one difference that makes them far more dangerous: their attacks inflict Poison. Early in the game, Poison can be extremely dangerous, or at least expensive to deal with. Werewolves are always your top priority target (though the Hill Gigas they sometimes appear with in the Terra Cavern, at least, are more dangerous).

Like other Wolves, Winter Wolves have 0 Defense but a decent Evasion score. They are low on HP and Magic Defense, making Fire2 a fantastic Spell to use against groups of them. Left alone, they can use their moderately powerful Icestorm attack. It's not terrible when used once, but three or four of them can devastate your party.

GrWOLVES combine 72 HP with high Evade and a powerful attack. They are dangerous in the early game, and attack Spells aren't much better than solid attacks from a FIGHTER. SLEP can help slow down a pack of WOLVES with a GrWOLF, though it will only cause each target to miss a single turn.
