 The ability of werewolves to summon allied wargs is introduced in [[NetHack 3.6.1]] via {{commit|1f4574b6c8710492de2cb366f9e420b636b0365b}}, which also makes it cannibalism to eat wargs while the hero has lycanthropy from a werewolf.{{refsrc|src/were.c|154-L159|nethack=3.6.1}}{{refsrc|src/eat.c|657-L659|nethack=3.6.1}}{{refsrc|src/were.c|83-L87|nethack=3.6.1}}
