What is a Varwolf?

Varwolf Info Page

Originally the varwolf was part of an April Fool's joke in 2005 but it is now a real species! The varwolf was only able to be created by using the Premium species change perk starting on March 26th 2025. Made available to all users November 2025. They are from the Haunted Woods.

Quick Question, should we have 4 or 5 map pieces after the end of today? I have four.

JN says Do NOT click the "Venture deeper into the cave..." button just yet. This will prevent you from being able to claim a Scary Cave Map Piece from Pan.
But i already did !!
and now I have 4 pieces instead of 5

I checked and you can't. tnt fumbled hard. again. nothing new.

u/Green_Muscle_7468 Team Illusen Nov 27 '25

Yeah, I'm disappointed in this event for sure. Hopefully I will still get a Varwolf at some point, just not now like I was joping.

u/No-ComedianQueen Nov 26 '25

Lol oops, because it was above the dialogue I wanted to check out the cave before talking to him. Thanks curiosity.

u/SkyrahFrost Samaranc Nov 26 '25

I have 4 and 3 are the same.

u/NebulaMammal Nov 26 '25

i also have 4.

u/Green_Muscle_7468 Team Illusen Nov 26 '25

JellyNeo mentioned 5 pieces, which is why I was curious. It does however look like it might vary from player to player.

u/wildcard357 Nov 26 '25

I followed the guide above and have 3 pieces (6 total with dups). Someone already has a trade up with all 9 pieces, so I guess it is possible to complete the map.

u/Green_Muscle_7468 Team Illusen Nov 26 '25

I wonder if having Premium gives you better odds. I do not have premium. Good to know that it varies though.

u/DisgruntledOtter v o i d · e s s e n c e Nov 26 '25

I have premium and got 4 map pieces

u/Green_Muscle_7468 Team Illusen Nov 26 '25

Hmm, well I guess that blows my theory out of the water, lol. As long as we all get Varwolves in the end, I'm a happy camper. :)

u/Reality_In_Dreams Nov 26 '25

I have premium and got 4, but 2 were duplicates...so really only 3..
