Yes it could. And I'm definitely not saying that anyone running with the wolves as presented in TFT is wrong. But a ST 6, DX 13, MA 12 wolf which does 1d-1 damage has the potential to severely mess up a normal human as well. It is faster than a human so can almost always go into HTH, it does as much damage as a dagger in normal melee combat, or as a ST 8 human armed with a dagger would do in HTH. With DX 13 it will usually attack before a human opponent as well. Against an unarmed normal human it has a lot of advantages and definitely has the potential to kill. It just becomes a bit less one-sided and a single wolf will have less potential against an armed and armored opponent. But it is all a matter of taste and how you want to run the game of course.
