The Pack Leader is a wolf that appears in The Sims 2: Pets. He has dark fur and glowing yellow eyes. He comes onto residential lots like any other stray, but only at night (unless cheats are used). Like other strays, he will not appear in college sub-neighborhoods. Pack Leaders have various names.
If a high enough relationship is built between a Sim and the wolf, the wolf will 'nibble' the Sim and the Sim will become a werewolf. Unlike other stray pets, the pack leader can only be adopted with the use of cheats. If that is done, he will turn into a regular wolf.[confirmation needed]
Hybrid
Hybrids between normal dogs and a Pack Leader can be created without the use of cheats. If the dog and Pack Leader have a high enough relationship, your Sim can direct the dog to 'Try for Puppy' with the Pack Leader. If this is successful, in 72 game hours you will have a Hybrid, e.g. a Wolf Collie. These breeds can be registered for the normal amount of Simoleons. The next time you Create-A-Pet, the Hybrid will appear.
Trivia
The use of the term 'Pack Leader' or 'Leader of the Pack' in game as opposed to 'Alpha', may be a reference to the 1964 song, 'Leader of the Pack' by the Shangri-Las.
