Wolf

The wolf (Canis lupus) was a carnivorous canine related to the dog, native to planet Earth.

"The Boy Who Cried Wolf" is a well known children's story about a wolf. When Julian Bashir told the story to Elim Garak, the later concluded that the moral was "to never tell the same lie twice." 

In 2267, Spock referred to the entity Redjac, who was murdering women on the planet Argelius II, "where the inhabitants are as peaceful as sheep", as being like "a hungry wolf in that fold." 

As Chakotay's grandfather got older, he believed at night he turned into a wolf and roamed the forest. 

In 2369, Captain Edward Jellico compared Cardassians to timber wolves, saying that they possess an instinctive need to establish a dominant position in social situations, and thus contrived his strategy for negotiating with Gul Lemec accordingly. Counselor Deanna Troi reminded him that sometimes a wolf ends up dead in the fight for dominance, to which Jellico responded by saying that the trick is to be the wolf that is standing in the end. 

When Deanna Troi entered Lwaxana Troi's mind to find out why her mother was unconscious, an angry wolf tried to keep her away from the memories of Kestra Troi. 

Wolf-like creatures sometimes appear on other habitable worlds. In 2375, when Worf and Ezri Dax were stranded on planet Goralis, Worf killed a wolf-like animal for food. 

When The Doctor reverted a member of Species 8472 from a Human to its natural state, he commented "talk about your wolf in sheep's clothing," based on an old Earth saying. 

Chakotay compared the Hirogen to wolves since they live in small 'packs' and roam the galaxy hunting for 'prey'.
