Wulver are ferocious enemies appear in God of War (2018).
Wulvers are powerful, formidable beasts resembling werewolves that possess immense strength and speed. They can attack Kratos by charging at him, swiping at him with their paws, or extending their claws and going berserk. They also have a grab attack that cannot be blocked and inflicts continuous damage. The player needs to rapidly shake the beast off or use the Spartan Rage.
Kratos can grab a stunned wulver and beat it into submission. If enough damage is done, Kratos can kill it by brutally ripping its jaws apart, exposing its organs.
Mythology
In Celtic Mythology, the Wulvers are a kind of werewolf that is part of the folklore of the Shetland islands off the coast of Scotland. In history, the wulver kept to itself and was not aggressive if left in peace, which is ironic considering it is an enemy in-game. Unlike most werewolves the Wulver is not a shapeshifter and is not, nor was it ever, a human being. It appears to be a sort of immortal spirit.
Types of Wulver
Wulver's come in a two different classes
- Wulver - Standard form. They usually stalk Kratos and are able to dodge Kratos' Axe throw. If the Beast extracts its claws, they become more powerful and can perform heavier attacks.
- Fierce Wulver - Tougher, stronger and more aggressive than standard wulvers. Some of their attacks are too powerful to block.
