wolflike
Resembling a predator
Wolflike describes something resembling a wolf in appearance, behavior, or character.
It typically suggests the predatory, wild, or pack-oriented qualities associated with wolves: wolflike eyes, a wolflike hunger.
The word applies to dogs with lupine features, to people with fierce or predatory demeanors, or to anything evoking the wolf's untamed nature.
