Each wolf's appearance is directly affected by their genetics. There's nearly limitless combinations of traits to produce unique wolves, from natural gems to wild colorbombs. Upon visiting a wolf's page, you'll be greeted by their full portrait, followed by all of their stats and details.

A wolf's '''Base''' is the color of their fur underneath any markings, mutations, or decorations. There are many possible bases, each sorted into categories called genetics.

You'll be able to find your wolf's exact Base underneath the Looks section. Here, the name will be listed next to a percentage in parenthesis.

Wolf Appearance
Wolf Appearance
Each wolf's appearance is directly affected by their genetics. There's nearly limitless combinations of traits to produce unique wolves, from natural gems to wild colorbombs. Upon visiting a wolf's page, you'll be greeted by their full portrait, followed by all of their stats and details. Under the Looks and Markings sections is where you'll find information about their genetics and appearance.
If your wolf's appearance seems outdated or inaccurate, you can click/tap on the image once to refresh it. If the image still seems inaccurate after being refreshed, then you can submit a bug report! Your wolf's portrait will change through their life, as they grow from puppy to adult.
Curious how someone might have a wolf in a different pose? Poses can be achieved using Variant applicators, which you can learn about on the Variants page! If a wolf is pregnant or nursing, they may also have a temporary nesting pose. It's possible to hide your wolf's portrait if you don't want them to appear in the image on their page. Some players chose to do so to use a custom decor in place of their wolf, display one of The Matchmaker event's special wolf decors, or focus on a background instead. This can be done using a Translucent Jellyfish purchased from the Grove.
Base and Base Genetics
Base and Base Genetics
A wolf's Base is the color of their fur underneath any markings, mutations, or decorations. There are many possible bases, each sorted into categories called genetics. These genetics determine how the bases interact with each other when breeding! Due to these genetics, some bases are much more difficult to breed than others.
You'll be able to find your wolf's exact Base underneath the Looks section. Here, the name will be listed next to a percentage in parenthesis. The percentage by a base's name represents the percentage of wolves in game that have that same base. Underneath this section, you'll find the base's genetics. Each base has set associated genetics that cannot be changed. For example, the Pecan base like above will always have Muted Dark II genetics.
Visit the pages below to learn more about bases and view full catalogues of all bases in game!
Eyes
Eyes
Eyes can add very unique details to your wolf, and even affect the appearance of the explore interface! They're some of Wolvden's more simple genetics, but many have a level of rarity that make them valuable in the market. Eye breeding is dependent on the understanding of fail colors, since eyes are capable of producing either themself or a "fail".

Skins, Noses, and Claws
Skins, Noses, and Claws
Small but notable, skins, noses, and claws can have a significant impact on your wolf's appearance! Each is a separate trait, but they act identically in breeding. Some of these accents or applicable with items, while others can be found on befriended wolves. Since there's a small number of skins, noses, and claws, you won't find that they provide much value to a wolf in the market, but they're nice to pay attention to if you enjoy the small details.

Markings
Markings
Markings are easily some of Wolvden's more complicated genetics. You'll find a list of all of your wolf's markings under the Markings section of their page.
There's a lot going on here, but it's not too hard to break down! Each marking is separated into for attributes: color, shape, opacity, and tier. The color and shape make up the marking's full name, while opacity is represented by the percentage in parenthesis and the tier is represented by the number following.
Each of these values can affect how a marking is passed in breeding, and there's also a few special cases, such as combos and deviations, that can add to breeding complexity.

Mutations
Mutations
Mutations are a complex mechanic full of Wolvden's rarest traits! Not every wolf will have mutation-in fact, they're rather rare to find. On each wolf, there are two slots available for mutations, Mutation and Secondary Mutation, meaning that some can be doubled up. However, wolves can also possess a hidden recessive mutation gene, evident by their carrier status. Wolves carrying mutation genes can be bred together to produce genetic mutations.
Mutations on Wolvden come in multiple categories defined by how they are obtained and passed in breeding. From random mutations, to applicator and lethal mutations, there's a lot to explore!
