The Battle Against the 〈Battle Wolf〉. An Easy Victory (R-Really?)

The boss of the 〈Little Wolf Shallow Forest Dungeon〉 is the 〈Battle Wolf〉 (First Form).

You’re probably wondering, “What do you mean, ‘First Form’?”

The 〈Battle Wolf〉 was known as a serious boss monster in 〈Dan-Katsu〉, and it was an opponent you faced again and again, from Beginner Dungeons all the way to the highest-tier dungeons. Each time, it changed not only in strength but in appearance as well.

In a normal game, they might just change the monster’s color and reuse the same artwork. But 〈Dan-Katsu〉’s developers were the meticulous sort. They loved phrases like “wide variety” and “in huge numbers.” They made sure to include monsters that evolved and changed appearance all the way from the First Form to the Final Form—and they did it over and over.

The First and Final Forms are so different after all that evolution, you could practically call them entirely separate creatures.

This First Form is the first 〈Battle Wolf〉 you fight in 〈Dan-Katsu〉. It’s just over a meter long, making it quite small. Pretty cute, really.

But it’s not to be underestimated, since it evolves from here into its Final Form, estimated to be 30 meters long. The final fight is a raid battle, too.

Oh, let’s save the Final Form for another time. Just thinking about it makes me gaze off into the distance.

Now, this 〈Battle Wolf〉 has two 〈Leader Wolves〉 and two 〈Wolves〉 as companions, so just like with the 〈Night Goblin〉, we have to take out the companions first.

The difference is that the 〈Night Goblin〉 stayed put until only one companion remained, while the 〈Battle Wolf〉 moves right alongside them, as if directing them...
