Warg

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

Manhunter Pack

Wargs can appear naturally on the map, but may also appear when triggered by the manhunter pack event. Any warg that appears during the event will arrive in a mood state of Broken: Manhunter which drives them to seek out and attack your colonists and any other human not indoors.

As of version 0.14.1234 (15 July 2016) some wargs in a manhunter pack will attempt to break down doors periodically, though any moderately-skilled constructor should be able to repair the damage faster than it can be inflicted.

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.

Taming

Wargs can be tamed by a handler with at least a 6 in animal skill. Warg 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.

Training

Wargs are among the hardest animals to train at a wildness rating of 80%, with only a handful of other species being harder to tame. Wargs can learn any skill in the game, with adults being of sufficient size to haul goods and rescue colonists at high speeds.

Wargs can be trained as follows:
