Possessed Varg

Possessed Varg is a boss monster exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in the From Beyond updates.
It will spawn from a Varg or Gingerbread Varg corpse when a fully formed lunar rift is active in the world. A Brightshade Gestalt spawned by said rift will target the corpse and reanimate it. This reduces the number of Deadly Brightshades spawned from that rift. Players can prevent this by burning the Varg's corpse.
After defeating it, Wagstaff will appear in his Grainy Transmission form, saying some words and disappearing. This is part of the quest for receiving a Spark Ark. If all three mutated bosses have been defeated once before and the previous defeated mutant is not a Posessed Varg, Wagstaff will give the player a Spark Ark.
== Behavior ==
=== General ===
Possessed Vargs are aggressive towards any creature, with the exception of other Lunar Aligned creatures.
=== Attacks ===
The Posessed Varg will use the same attacks as a normal Varg, with the addition of a fire breath attack. The fire breath attack will cover everything in front of the Posessed Varg in white flames that do not set other objects on fire and cool the player down instead of burning them.
A Posessed Varg’s spawned Hounds will turn into Horror Hounds on death.
== Strategy ==
The Posessed Varg can be stunned for a short period of time if it takes enough Planar Damage. During this time, it is best to use quick, high-damage weapons against it such as Brightshade Bombs. It is best to use Planar Damage weapons against it, as the Possessed Varg has Planar Damage Protection.
The Hounds it spawns have to be carefully dealt with, as the fact that they turn into Horror Hounds can quickly overwhelm players. If possible, one or two players should exclusively target the Hounds and Horror Hounds, while the rest should target the Possessed Varg.
== Trivia ==
*The crystals growing out of the Possessed Varg's mouth may be a reference to the fact that Vargs drop Hound's Teeth on death and therefore their corpses no longer have teeth.
*Possessed Varg was introduced in the Host of Horrors update.
**It is the only one amongst the three lunar-mutated bosses introduced whose predecessor is not internally considered a boss, since the Varg lacks the "Epic" tag.
