Each wolf pack would have a 1 in 3 chance of spawning an alpha wolf.
A wolf pack that had an alpha wolf would be larger and would consist of stronger wolves.
The alpha wolf is larger, darker, stronger, and faster.
The regular wolves follow the alpha wolf around.
If you manage to kill the alpha wolf you get 0-3 hides.
If you kill the alpha wolf the entire pack is permanently hostile to you, and will follow you until either you are dead, or they are.
The wolf hide can be used similar to leather, but is greatly superior.
For three reasons:
1)It makes much better armor than leather does, nearly as good as iron.
2)It gives you bonuses.
Wolf hide helmet: better night vision
Wolf hide chest armor: you mine faster
Wolf hide pants: jump higher
Wolf hide boots: run faster
3)If you have the full set all of these bonuses are increased by 50%
The reason why this isn't OP is because wolves are very rare, and the alpha wolves are even more so, the alpha pack is larger and stronger, and if you want any amount of wolf hides you will have to put yourself at extreme risk.
Comments?
Opinions?
Rage at a good suggestion?

Wolf hide armor that's stronger than leather but weaker than iron is a great idea, but the other bonuses are overpowered.
As for the Alpha Wolf, that doesn't seem necessary; wolf hide being taken from regular wolves adds a kind of do I want this as a pet or do I want the hide kind of dilemma, giving regular wolves more uses. Alternatively, you could stockpile pet wolves for a rainy day and slaughter them for their hide when you need it.
I'm unaware if this is already implemented, but if you attack one regular wolf of a pack, the others could turn hostile. I don't see a need for an Alpha Wolf, but it wouldn't hurt.

The concept of wolf leather has been suggested before, but this particular iteration seems somehow overpowered, and no, rarity doesn't make it any less so.
it should be dropped by wolves normally , because having to find an alpha wolf and kill him and all of its fellows 28 time , its even more difficult than gathering 28 iron...
also , suggested a LOT!
