'''Dire Wolf''' is a classless [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|5.0}}. It is generated when [[Mountain Obyn (BCS)|Mountain Obyn]] uses his Summon Dire Wolf ability. When it attacks, it deals [[Splash Damage|splash damage]] to Bloons adjacent to the target. Despite doing splash damage, it doesn't have the Splash Damage keyword. It can be part of a deck on certain [[Daily Challenge (BCS)|Daily Challenge]]s and other challenges. | |||

Be wary of using [[Howl]] in [[Mountain Obyn (BCS)|Mountain Obyn]] decks though, as it provides no value before a Dire Wolf is summoned, and can make defending more difficult due to a more clogged hand. | ||
*Players relying on only Miners and Dire Wolves as their only Monkeys must be careful against aggro, OTK, and heavy tempo decks, as Dire Wolves are too slow to make, have no defense against 0 delay Bloons, and have low single-target damage alone. | |||
