Traits
Graceful Movement. The Dancing Wolf never provokes opportunity attacks when it leaves an enemy’s reach.

Magic Resistance. The wolf has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Inspiring Dance (Recharge 5–6). As a bonus action, the wolf performs a mesmerizing twirl and leap. All allies within 30 feet who can see it gain temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + the wolf’s Charisma modifier (4) and advantage on their next attack roll before the start of the wolf’s next turn.

Mesmeric Steps (1/day). The wolf begins a magical dance for up to 1 minute (concentration). Each creature of the wolf’s choice within 20 feet must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed until the dance ends. While charmed in this way, a creature must use its movement to follow the wolf’s steps, moving harmlessly and ignoring other creatures. The effect ends if the wolf is incapacitated or stops dancing.

Actions
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage.

Spin Kick. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 9 (1d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Description
Legends say these wolves are born where moonlight touches enchanted meadows. Their paws barely touch the ground, moving in perfect rhythm to music only they can hear. Bards and druids prize their companionship, for the Dancing Wolf’s performance can heal the weary, rally the timid, and confuse the hostile. Those lucky enough to witness the wolf’s moonlit waltz speak of it for the rest of their days.
