MAIN PRIZE WINNER



Wraith Wolf by Emmanuel Falaras





These woods used to echo with the sounds of the Wolf Packs around here. But as Ranchers and
Frontiersmen settled in, they were wiped out, hunted to oblivion. Now though, since the dead have been rising again, the Wolves have come back... And they seem intent on returning the favor.

There are two variants of the Wraith Wolf, the Alpha, and its Summons.

The Alpha is a Skeletal Wolf with a ghostly body, and glowing eyes and heart. And the Summon is the
Skeleton with only the glowing eyes. The Wraith Wolf Alpha starts patrolling its territory alone. But when it engages with a target, the Alpha howls, summoning additional skeletal wolves around itself that attack the target directly. While the Summons attack the target, the Alpha circles from the outside, quickly darting back and forth, occasionally stopping to summon additional skeletons at different
angles around its target. The Skeletal Summons pull themselves from the ground when spawned, and are brittle, falling relatively easily with no damage resistances. The Alpha is heavily resistant to all damage types outside of Silver, with the glowing heart acting as a greater weak point as opposed to the head. When the Alpha is defeated, any active Summons also fall with it. When defeated, the Alpha's ghostly body evaporates while the bones fall to the ground, and the Skeletal Summons simply fall to the ground.

The Wraith Wolf may drop its Jaw on death as an equipable item. When worn, it will summon two
skeletal wolves to aid the player in combat once every 5 minutes. The skeletal wolves, and the item
cooldown are both triggered when an enemy targets the player. The goal of the Wraith Wolf is first, to have more Spectral enemies to encourage greater use of Silver Ammo. Second; to be an enemy encounter that offers many targets to fight at once, giving more value to high-capacity weapons like the Lever Rifle and the Chain Pistol. And thirdly; to have an enemy that offers a more intense, faster paced combat if the player seeks it, or to be a dangerous enemy rewarding a stealthy play style.



And here’s what the team said about giving this concept a key to being animated in Blood West:



“The Wraith Wolf's concept as a whole captivates us; the synergy between its design, mechanics, and lore creates an exceptional entity. While each element on its own is strong, it's their cohesive integration that truly stands out. Among many impressive submissions, it stood out and clinched the team's vote. It's a perfect fit for Blood West's varied biomes, enhancing the game's "wild" areas seamlessly. The creator aimed to introduce a spiritual foe encouraging more use of silver ammo, a touch we find brilliant. Essentially, the Wraith Wolf triumphed by melding a striking visual idea with game mechanics as if tailor-made for Blood West.”

Stay tuned, as we will be sharing with you the process of how Wraith Wolf becomes a monstrosity that will hunt you in the next expansion!

Warm regards,
The Blood West Team
