Earlier today, my friend and I were farming for Corrupted Lodestones in Frostgorge Sound on our Norn Rangers.

We were in a small zerg with some other people, when something caught our attention.

an npc ally with the name “Lunar Wolf” showed up for a brief moment and was running with us.

After a short period of time it disappeared.

My friend and I have never seen this before, so we immediately questioned everyone we were playing with “Who summoned the Lunar Wolf?”

I equipped the Mistfire Wolf Elite skill (which neither of us were using) to see if that was maybe responsible in some way…. and it definitely is unrelated and looks completely different.

So we saw it again a short while later, but I wasn’t able to get a screen in time… but I noticed it had our guild tag…. so either my friend or I was responsible for the wolf.

After about an hour or so later… we saw the wolf one last time, and I stopped running with my friend, and we separated from each-other and the wolf ran up to me as if it were another pet of mine.

Its health degenerates slowly as if it were a necromancer minion…. we tried to keep it alive…. but ran out of heals between us.

Does anyone know why this is happening?
What does it mean?

Is this a potential manifestation of one of the Wolf Spirit?

“Wolf is one of the more prominent deities of the norn. Wolf represents the virtues of loyalty, ferocity, and strength in numbers and is often invoked for help in tracking the norn’s prey. "

That is very neat. Did you pick wolf during character creation?

Hmm, that’s interesting. Is it related to a rune in someway? Food? An item? I’m not sure.

No…. I chose Bear…. twice.

And Its definitely not any rune or sigil I have equipped.

Perhaps some thing to do with that ‘wolfborn’ equipment you’re wearing?

I’ve been wearing that equipment for a very long time now, and I’ve only just noticed this lunar wolf today, and he decided to show up three times.

I don’t think that the armor has anything to do with it.

Is it possible that the rune summons a wolf instead of a bird?

Lunar new year (chinese) was recently. Perhaps its some sort of easter egg devs implemented since there was no official celebration.

That’s interesting. We’ll have to get some guildies with rangers and see if we can get one to appear.

If 3 rangers use the “Call of the Wild” warhorn ability at the same time, a Lunar Wolf is summoned.

One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen a developer put in an MMo

We got one going in LA Mag right now, been keeping it alive for like 10min or so.

Wonder if other classes have a secret like this.

Be very interested to know if they do. The Lunar Wolf is extremely cool – Kudos to the person who came with that idea

This is awesome, they should add stuff like this to the other classes. In fact I think this would be a really cool as a serious addition to the game, multi unit combos might make WvW into something besides a zergfest where no more than one person on the entire map thinks.

Think about it. What if 7 necros all summoned a Flesh Titan instead of golem? Or what if 5 warriors simultaneously using berserker stance literally became berserkers? This has so much potential, especially in WvW.

Oh this is so cool thank you for sharing!. I hope they expand on ths sort of team work ability. How cool that could be! It encourges same classes to play with each other it could even mix it up with like 10 mesmurs and 10 guardians have to cast like reflect spells together to create a super reflect barrier or somthing.

Lol obviously would need to be worked out or just small things for fun happening would be cool like this wolf thing. At character creation if 5 humans who started with the noble story line and all do the emote /laugh a small money effect happens or somthing lol idk. Really cool! xD

This is so cool! I agree that this would be a cool feature for all classes, even cross class combos maybe. They should seriously consider making more of these!
