Reason: The idea behind it was an animal that can accompany you from start to finish. We think Ark doesn't need another endgame animal that can do everything and is unbeatable. We want a good friend and faithful companion in all situations. And that's why he's here now: The Wolfhound. Survivors best friend and best buff supporter ever! (idea by Dextro23 -> German ARK YouTuber) The picture is only intended as an example, we wanted to give the impression that it must be a large animal that hunted with humans as early as the Ice Age. We focus on its properties that are usable and useful for every survivor right from the start! We also think Extintion is the best map for it: The earth is contaminated, but some animals managed to survive in the ruins. The adaptable wolfhound, who has lived alongside humans for thousands of years, is waiting here for a new generation to join. Dossier: Wild: Canis lupus familiaris has been man´s best friend for thousands of years. So I´m not surprised to find him on the Ark. The Survivors here simply call him Wolfhound. Like his relatives today, he is an extremely faithful and loyal companion who can be found almost everywhere, because of his high adaptability. Despite his size, he is nor strong enought to be ridden. However, with the right saddlebags, it turns out to be capable of carrying quite a lot of commodities. Domesticated: The Wolfhound has become the perfect companion for Survivors. Well trained, he can handle almost any situation.On my journey I met a master at it: His Animals were able to give him an advantage in almost any situation. Be it finding him everywhere with the help of a whistle, warning and defending him from Attackers or protecting him from heat and cold. They hunt reliably and independently in the vicinity of their owner and develop enormous strenght when it comes to defending their master from Wolves or Bears. Above all, his most outstanding ability is being exactly what he has always been. A faithful and reliable friend for all Survivors! Buffs/Skills: Once tamed, he is the ideal companion for every project. He is not rideable, but has saddlebags (weight reduction of 15%, from Lv15) He give various buffs and benefits on his survivor: "Heel": The wolfhound gets everywhere with the help of a whistle, no matter where you are. Did you leave him in base but now need his help or skills just blow the whistle and he will find you. (the whistle is crafted in his inventory; he only listens to this whistle) "Here I am": At a signal with the whistle you can make him bark, which gives animals up to Carno size a lower aggro range and makes them less likely to attack. "Attention": Are you currently farming or taming and don't get what's happening around you? No problem: Your wolfhound is always alert and will start to rumble if an animal tries to attack you. "Hunter": If you hold the whistle in your hand and whistle to attack, you will see a circle radius. Anything in this area will be attacked, killed and farmed by your Wolfhound. (gains bonus of hide and meat) "Playful": You are traveling with your friends and you both have a wolfhound. Then enjoy the peace and watch how the two play with each other from time to time (little animation) "Best Freind": Whoever raised/tamed him gets a boost to defense and attack in his vicinity. On top of that, it will protect you from cold and heat. Whether in the desert or in the snow, the wolfhound at your side will always look out for your well-being. "Territory Hunter": Like the dogs of old time, this one is unbeatable when it comes to hunting down wolves and bears. He will gain increased defense while fighting this and his attacks will do more damage. (which also makes him an unbeatable companion for the dungeons in Ark So how do you become the proud owner of a wolfhound? Taming is relatively easy (after all, he's supposed to be by your side from the start) All you need is grilled meat (he especially loves that) The meat is put on an arrow and shot near the animal. (Caution: untamed, he is aggressive towards humans, although his range is quite small) When he has eaten the first piece of meat, you gain his trust and can go to him. Then just have some grilled meat on the last slot and crouch and approach him head-on. If he sits down in front of you and lets his tongue hang out, he is ready to be fed. On the other hand, if you have weapons or something similar in your hand, he will attack.
