Warg

Warg is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.

Overview[]

Wargs are a slightly larger version of the common Wolf with bluish-grey black-mottled fur that can be found on Bitterblack Isle.

Wargs are neither strong nor hardy, but very agile and often dodge attacks directed at them. They hunt in packs, just like their cousins; their bite reliably inflicts Poison, and sometimes also Torpor; very rarely Curse or even Petrification may be caused by a bite.

Attacks[]

Wargs's attacks and behaviour is much like that of a common Wolf.

Grab and Bite	Phys	Bites a character's leg and holds them in place, mauling them continuously until freed. If the victim was knocked down multiple Wargs can join in on this attack. [struggle to free oneself]

Tactics[]

For general tactics against canine creatures, see Wolf.

Can be set on fire, Tarred, Blinded, Put to Sleep and Torpored.
Use fast-dash skills like Cutting Wind and Burst Strike.
Very rarely, they use a bite ability that is an instant kill. Their target must be knocked to the ground first.
Carry curatives for Poison if no healing Mage is present as Wargs are likely to inflict Poison in the course of a battle.
