Overview
The R-Direwolf is a carnivorous variant creature from Genesis: Part 2. It gains a 5% bonus to Melee Damage but suffers a 3% reduction in Health compared to the base Spirit Direwolf.
It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment across long distances. Players typically tame it for its boosted melee output in combat and transport versatility.

More about taming the R-Direwolf
Tame the R-Direwolf using knockout methods. Superior Kibble is the best food, providing the fastest taming effectiveness.
Raw Mutton also works well, taming nearly as fast. Use a Bola or Bear Trap to immobilize it. Tranq Arrows from a Crossbow or Fabricated Sniper Rifle are effective for sedation. The process takes about 22 minutes with 7 Superior Kibble. Use the calculator below for your settings.

About gathering
While mounted, the R-Direwolf gathers resources through its melee attack. It harvests Silk at a 10× multiplier, making it highly efficient for Silk farming. It also gathers AnglerGel, Fiber, and Pelt at 2× each. This makes it a niche gatherer for specific high-multiplier resources.
