Chased = A wolf that has been chased from another player's den and is found as a New Befriended Wolf. DIB = Distantly Inbred, referring to a wolf that is inbred, but has it far back in the family tree. ELF = Extremley Low Fertility F = Female. FS = For Sale.

Rechased = A game-generated new befriended wolf that somebody has caught and chased again, and has been found by another player.
