Warg

Wargs, called warg puppies as babies, 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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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.

Training[edit]

This animal can be trained as follows:

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

↑ Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It refers to the percentage of the super-part that this part covers, before its own sub-parts claim their own percentage. For example, if the base coverage of the super-part is 100%, and the coverage of the part is 20%, 20% of hits would hit the part, and 80% the super-part. If the part had its own sub-part with 50% coverage, the chances would be 10% sub-part, 10% part, 80% super part.
↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be be selected as the target when each part's coverage has been taken into account(I.E. Neck covers 7.5% of Torso but Head covers 80% of Neck so it actually has only a 1.5% chance to be selected). This is not pure hit chance, as different damage types propagate damage in different ways. See that page for details.
↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
↑ If Moving drops below 16% a pawn cannot move.
↑ A Scratch attack that varies from animal to animal. Each front paw allows one attack.
