warmer Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 I was playing around with the biomes.xml doing some testing and I saw this guy for the first time. Is this new? I don't remember hearing about a zombie wolf. Way to big to be the dog and covered in fur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maharin Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 It's a Dire Wolf. It's a former fan of Dire Straits that was also a werewolf and became a zombie. But it was just its human side that became a zombie. Turns out that once you're a human zombie that turns into a werewolf you get stuck, especially if you like Dire Straits' music. It's an all around horrible situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't seen one of these in the early blood moon hordes? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol it's rare I play through more than two bloodmoons without modding the map or other settings. The farthest I have played is to day 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't unusual to see them on the first horde night, and definitely by the second. Edited September 26 by Riamus (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew of their existence, but that special howl they have is hair-raising! They are tanky, but I had a fairly decent melee base setup and took them down without issue. Seeing them in the wild without the protection of a horde base is an entirely different story, though! 😨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't make any noise until he was agro. 3 hours ago, Syphon583 said: They may have tweaked something since then, or I progressed ridiculously fast, but I had these things appear day 7 on my very first playthrough of 1.0.

Hadn't even gotten a single point of XP yet. He was also in the wasteland during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElCabong Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 It is a direwolf. They have been in the game for a long time but they changed the skin to make it look a lot better. It's also more difficult to kill and drops a red bag every time you kill one. The Zombie bear does too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the old dire wolf was a living beast, this one is undead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riamus Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Yeah, it is more of a replacement than an update to the dire wolf. Undead, jumps, doesn't look like a normal wolf, stronger, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
