- Striped Wolf: will be selected in all Badlands biomes, including Badlands and Eroded Badlands Biomes

Wolf variants are biome-dependent
Some wolf variants may not be available to spawn naturally because of the inapplicable spawning conditions in older versions such as:
- Rusty Wolves in the Sparse Jungle biome
- Spotted Wolves in the Savanna Plateau
- Striped Wolves in the Wooded Badlands

Wolf variants are completely random and non-biome-specific
