Warg

Wargs are cold-loving, wolf-like carnivorous animals that roam through temperate forests, temperate swamps, boreal forests, cold bogs, and tundra. While most carnivores can eat meat, corpses, kibble, and meals, Wargs can only eat raw meat and corpses.

Summary

Unlike every other carnivore in the game, wargs can't eat or be fed with meals or kibble. A steady supply of meat/corpses is required to keep them fed. As allowing your wargs to feed on human corpses doesn't generate bad thoughts, zoning your wargs into a human corpse freezer is an efficient way of getting rid of corpses and keeping your wargs fed at the same time.

It is advisable to keep your colonists and animals (excluding even larger beasts like Thrumbos) away from Wargs as their high hunger rate, carnivorous nature and brutal combat ability make them extremely dangerous. Keep smaller animals, children or colonists with poor combat skills far away from Wargs and exercise caution keeping anybody near them. Allowing Wargs to feed on corpses may be an effective strategy to reduce the risk of Wargs hunting your pawns.

Wargs have 80% Toxic Environment Resistance rendering them highly resistant to environmental effects such as rot stink and toxic buildup from non-attack sources.

Wargs can appear in raids alongside yttakin pirates.

Attacks

Wargs have two attacks: scratch (paw) and bite (teeth). Both attacks apply a stun for 6.67 seconds on their first strike when hunting. Faster and smaller than a Grizzly bear and with 95.85% of their DPS, though with less AP and 56% the health, Wargs are remarkably strong in combat.

Taming

Wargs can be tamed by a handler with at least a 5 in animal skill from temperate forests, temperate swamps, boreal forests, cold bogs, and tundra. Wargs can also be purchased pre-tamed from bulk goods traders or one can be spawned at the start of a game as the starting pet. They breed quickly and are strong fighters.
