He patrols between (27,08) and (26,12) and (28,17).

Part of the https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/quest=11324 Quest.

UPDATE: You don't need to be in your Worg costume to see him. (Thanks Crypthon!)

Found him in the spider nest, right by the road. At first I thought he was an easy kill, but he put up a fight. With his 13k HP and high DPS, I had to heal myself a couple of times (Enhancement shaman).

When he is around 50%, he says "Enough of this charade!" and turns into a warewolf sort of. He then uses stun which can be annoying if you're just about to heal.
I think no one should have a real problem with him really, even though he was quite much HP.

Note: He dropped a couple of green bracers for me ^^

Not a werewolf, he turns into a Worgen.
Sorta like WoW's version of the werewolf, but a bit different.

Introduction Quest to the return of Arugal and his Worgen Minions. Made sense of in My Enemy's Friend or A Swift Response.

One thing worth adding about this quest, is that Garwal pats around the border to Grizzly Hills. I've always had trouble finding him, and find that sometimes as I'm riding around on my mount I'll accidentally go into Grizzly Hills. Once you cross the border, you lose the buff and can't see him. This also applies in combat, in which case he'll reset.

I found the best way to ensure that you keep the buff on is to use the costume, as it disappears when you go into Grizzly Hills also, so you'll know if you drop buffs. It's a bit slower than the epic ground mount, but it works.

Also, making a /tar Gar macro tends to help, and tracking beasts as a hunter while in the costume makes it fairly obvious when he's around.

He is considered an invisible unit even in combat. Tried to use killing spree, said invalid target.

Respawn time is ~2min 30sec

Today, Tuesday, July 7th, 2009. A ninja hotfix was sent out. Garwal is no longer tameable. Hunters who have tamed Garwal already, the pet has had his skills removed. He cannot be fed, he cannot be buffed, his ap and stamina do not scale. He is just a companion pet now. He is no use as a pet.

He is Untamable now Blizzard thought of this pet as an exploit to tame him as a worgen, no clue how it should be because its just for looks. anyone that tamed him before July 7 2009 as a worgen now has no skills unscaled stats and no talents. The wolf/worgen is cleared out to be a Trophy to show off in Major Cities

I miss having a Worgen pet ='(

Commentaire de 430162

Are you able to tame this guy when he's in his worgen form ? or will he be stuck as a stupid wolf for the rest of his life"?

Commentaire de 482669

So, i was here on wowhead, looking up where he spawns so i could kill him after about 15 mins of trying to find him. I tab back in and am at half health, he was attacking me the whole time... I lol'd

This little bit of hunter history needs a little bit more explanation...

Over the July 4th weekend in 2009, a paladin named Zomgitsjrad posted a thread in the hunter forums stating that he had seen a hunter with a pet worgen; said hunter wouldn't reveal where he got it because he liked the novelty. A few people were speculating on which mob it could be, and others started demanding proof. Proof was eventually posted, and after much debating and testing--the possibilities being narrowed down to the Frenzied Worgen in UP, which is classified as a beast, stacking Infected Worgen Bite on a normal pet, and our Garwal here--it was eventually verified that the worgen in question was indeed Garwal.

When fighting Garwal, he transforms from worg to worgen when he hits about 50% health. In order to have a tamed worgen, he has to be in the middle of transformation right at the moment of taming. The steps commonly used, as said by Icemaz:

Get Wyvern Sting. It does about 19% damage by itself over 6 secs, and sleeps for 30.
Find him.
Hurt him until he is approx 67-69% health.
Wyvern sting him.
Wait till there is 14 secs left on Wyvern sting.
At 14 secs left, cast tame beast.
If done right, right as your tame ends, he will have just transformed.

One could also have a friend attack him to push him into transformation right as Tame Beast ended, a usually more reliable method.

The fact that Garwal is a phased quest mob caused quite a bit of rage in the hunter community: many had already completed the quest chain and were therefore unable to access and tame him. However, most hunters who hadn't done the chain went out and tamed him, because is there anything cooler than fighting alongside an armored werewolf? Since the exploit was discovered over the 4th of July weekend, we had plenty of time to play with our new-found worgen buddies (I named mine Gabriel). They had all the normal skills of a wolf, they were just worgen-shaped.

However, come Tuesday the 7th, they were hotfixed to be nearly useless--talents, stats, and abilities were removed, they couldn't be buffed or fed, they couldn't be named, and Garwal was now labeled untameable. Over the next few days, they bugged out to be at their un-tamed massive size, and eventually all tamed Garwals--even those who looked like a normal white worg--were replaced with identical level 68 Winterskorn Worgs.

Blizzard spoke about this by saying that worgen were never considered to be hunter pet material, and should never have been. We now know that worgen are to be the next Alliance playable race in Cataclysm, which would have made pet worgen... dodgy subjects, to say the least.

But hey, it was fun while it lasted.
