Howdy Gamers,
I have a question about animal companion. I am reviewing the wolf companions. What are the chances obtaining these types for a wolf. Basic Wolf at 4th level for a ranger. Is there any possibility to obtain a Worg pup or Dire wolf pup?
I know the first answer out of any of is NO! I know the Worg is a magical beast. Also I am not trying to break any of the rules. Is it a possible?
Well, normal wolf animal companions progress to large at 7th level, which pretty much sounds like Dire wolf territory. If you'd like a worg thigh, you're in luck but it may take an additional purchase. Combat of the Inner Sea has the pfs-legal feat Monstrous Mount in it, which opens up a few new magical beasts as companions for rangers, Cavaliers, and paladins. Worg is one of them, and can unlock its fearsome howl with an additional feat.

Good to know. Glad I opened the thread!
It is possible in PFS, but as a ranger you need to be level 7 before you can do it, as well as a neutral character.
This is due to the feat called Monstrous Mount. This feat gives you additional options that include magical beasts.
Unfortunately, one of the prerequisites for the feat is an effective druid level of 4. That means you ether need to wait until level 7 where your EDL would by 7-3=4, or you need to take boon companion to make up the difference between you EDL and actual level.....and take up your only feat between when you can otherwise qualify for Monstrous mount and level 7....
Anyway, you can see the stats for the worg RIGHT HERE as long as you click the 'monstrous companions' tab. Unfortunately, it does not grow large in size, which is rather important for the whole trip thing they have going on. Its stats also end up a little worse than a large sized wolf's (I know I am comparing it a lot to a large wolf...but again, with the level problems, you would be able to get a large wolf first). It does get a 'fearful howl' 1/day, which is a 30' cone of the fear universal monster rule. That would cost another feat though.
