Bite.

If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Terrifying Howl (Recharge 5-6).
The alpha wolf releases a deep, commanding howl.
Each hostile creature within 60 ft. that can hear it must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened until the end of its next turn.
All allied wolves within range may immediately use their reaction to move up to half their speed.
An alpha wolf is the dominant leader of a wild pack, distinguished by exceptional size, aggression, and territorial instinct. Unlike ordinary wolves, alpha wolves coordinate pack behavior with frightening precision, often directing attacks toward weakened or isolated prey. Travelers along remote forest roads frequently regard the sound of an alpha’s howl as a warning to leave the region immediately.
