Revenant Direwolf
Variant · 2 maps
Overview
The Revenant Direwolf is a rare carnivorous variant found in corrupted zones. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment. This mobility makes it useful for fast attacks or emergency extraction in hostile areas.
It does not gather resources while ridden and has no platform saddle. Its primary role is combat and transport synergy with larger carriers.

Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing a Revenant Direwolf yields Hide, Raw Meat, and Pelt. The Hatchet yields the most Hide and Pelt, while the Pick maximizes Raw Meat harvest.
Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
Gathering Abilities
The Revenant Direwolf gathers resources using its melee attack. It harvests Silk at a 10× multiplier, making it exceptionally efficient for Silk farming. AnglerGel, Fiber, and Pelt are gathered at 2× each. Its Howl and Sniff abilities do not gather resources.
Damage Resistances
The Revenant Direwolf has a critical weakness to Instant HurtDinos, taking +120% more damage. It is also highly vulnerable to spike walls and explosion-based attacks. Conversely, it is fully immune to Mining Drill damage and takes -50% less damage from certain melee and ranged sources. Focus on high-impact melee or explosive tactics for maximum efficiency.
