Had some ideas for some Chthonic Tiefling characters; had an idea to make one with some wolf motifs, but I was having some trouble finding a Neutral Evil wolf Fiend.
For those that don't know, the 2024 PHB mentions that Tieflings with "Chthonic" ancestry can inherit traits from Neutral Evil Fiends, such as Yugoloths; I had some ideas for making some wolf-based characters using this idea, but I was having some issues finding an actual wolf fiend to use for this. There's the Arcanaloths that come close, but they're noted to look like foxes, jackals, and "war dogs" rather than wolves. There's also Barghests, but the art and lore tends to paint them closer to goblins with lupine features rather than proper wolves.
Does anyone happen to have any idea about a "proper" Neutral Evil wolf Fiend that I might've missed? I'm not entirely sure on where to look next, so any inklings would be appreciated.
It sounds like there are no wolf like fiends to begin with. If that is true, you either need to change one that is close looking but not a wolf like or change the need for a wolf like appearance to a non wolf like appearance.
With such a small sample size, looking for NE just makes the search that much harder.
Unfortunately, I think all of those are either Lawful Evil or Chaotic Evil; Chthonic Tieflings require ancestry from a Neutral Evil Fiend, like the aforementioned Yugoloths.

Which is why I mentioned looking for both wolf head and NE is too small of a sample to find.

Barghests have a wolf form and a goblin form, not any goblin/wolf blend. I'd say that's your best bet.
Apart from the ones you mention, some i evil Fiends i can think of what had Wolf heads;
Miska, the Wolf-Spider
Molydeus Tanar'ri
Amon the Wolf
Othere dog like include;
Shoosuvas Demon (hyena dog-like).
Kezef Chaos Hound
Hell Hound
