Sven Packmaster

"Rabid Wolf genetically modified by a famous mad scientist. Eats bones and flesh."

- Maddox the Slayer

Sven Packmaster is a Slayer in the Wolf Slayer branch. It is an agile Wolf that deals.

Defeating the Sven Packmaster results in unlocking the Enderman Slayer quest and the Voidgloom Seraph boss.

Behavior
The Sven Packmaster is a Wolf-type mob which is hostile towards all players. It is very fast and has a melee attack.

As with all Slayer bosses, if the Sven Packmaster has not dealt damage to a player for some time, it will begin rapidly regenerating health. The regeneration immediately stops when it hits a player again. Additionally, if either it or its target stays in the same block for too long, it performs a slam-dunk attack, knocking the target towards it and dealing. If 4 minutes pass without the boss being defeated, it will despawn, failing the Slayer quest. A timer is shown above its head indicating the remaining time.

Each tier has all of the abilities from the one before it.

Upon reaching 50% health, the Sven Packmaster will begin moving very slowly, and no longer regenerates health; critical particles appear around it. It spawns 1 Sven Pup at its location every second for 5 seconds, during which it is protected from attacks. Each Sven Pup has 10% of the max health of the Packmaster. When it is spawning pups, the text above its head reads "Calling the pups!", after which it says "Protected". If all the pups are killed, the Packmaster returns to its original behaviour. When either the pups or the Packmaster attacked the player, the Packmaster won't regenerate health.

Minibosses
These are possible Minibosses that could spawn upon killing a Wolf when a Sven Packmaster Slayer quest is active. It is also possible to spawn another miniboss directly after killing one.
