Hati was a wolf first seen in the 2011 Winter event. Brundt the Chieftain and Olaf the Bard said that the "great wolf" had been rampaging through Rellekka. Olaf said that the wolf killed one of his family members. Hati is currently not in the game.

In the January 2011 Behind the Scenes, Jagex stated that, "The fight itself is designed for a group of mid to high-level adventurers".<ref name="Jan2011">Mod Mark. "Behind the Scenes - January". 01-Jan-2011. RuneScape News. "Heroes who defeat the wolf will gain access to new gloves, which, if worn in battle, will double combat XP for 10 hours." ("Combat" refers to all combat skills<ref name="wolf"></ref>.)*</ref> The group of players would have to fight Hati in the Rellekka area. If successful, they may receive a pair of Gloves which, when worn, doubles combat experience in Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged and Magic for ten hours.<ref name="Jan2011"></ref> (This bonus was changed on release and was not time based but level and xp based. See below.) In addition, players may also have received a wolf hat for cosmetic purposes only.<ref name="wolf">Mod Trig & Mod Moltare. "Hati – The Winter Wolf". 17-Jan-2011. RuneScape News. "Wolf-killers should keep in mind that Hati leaves the game on Monday 14th February, [...] Speaking of rewards... The Hati head is a cosmetic hat that shows off your achievement, while the Hati paws are the highlight: these gloves reward you with double the XP you gain from skills (Attack, Constitution, Defence, Magic, Ranged, Strength) while in combat. [...] On Tuesday 10th May, these gloves will lose any remaining charge, so make sure to use them while you can. Once their charge has run out, you can still keep hold of them as a second cosmetic item to match your hat."*</ref> Players do not gain Experience for fighting Hati, only the opportunity to receive his drops.

The Hati remained in the game until 14 February as "seasonal content".<ref name="wolf"></ref> As with holiday events, the wolf was removed after that date, but the reward items will remain. On 10 May, the charges of the paws were wiped, transforming them into purely cosmetic items.<ref name="wolf"></ref> Hati could be lured and could hit multiple people outside of multicombat zones. Some players used this feature to kill bots, also known as macros, all over RuneScape.

To begin hunting Hati, a player would have to talk to the Fremennik citizen just inside Rellekka's gate (wasn't required). The player could receive a free teleport to Relleka from the Wolf hunter in Gunnarsgrunn. Hati had a combat level of 654, had 3 respawn points, and would respawn at one every few minutes. The spawns were just northwest of the Swaying tree, just southeast of Rellekka and slightly off of the path, and next to the mine where mithril or iron can be mined, just east of the city walls.

Hati was aggressive, and would attack with magic from afar, which made him easy to find when hunting.

Strategy

Hati has a melee attack and a magic attack. The magic attack has a multi-target attack, although this only hits other players if they are near the target player. Rumours persisted that the magic based attack froze the player or lowered the players stats, although these were false. Occasionally, you would receive a message saying: "You are chilled to the bone from the cold that radiates from Hati" and take some damage. Hati does take damage from Deflect Curses.

Hati's magic attack.

According to the Fremennik citizen, Hati was as vulnerable to "blade, arrow or spell" as any other wolf (i.e. it has the same weaknesses as a normal Wolf). However, the citizen also mentioned that Hati had much higher endurance than the average wolf and should not be taken lightly. Attacking with range or mage would only cause you to be attacked with magic, so in this case Protect from Magic or Deflect Magic was recommended. Note that the magic attacks would only partially be absorbed by the protect prayer - a small amount of damage would still be taken. Damage from Ruby bolts(e) is capped at 500. If you are using ruby bolts(e), it is recommended that you keep your health low and eat only when your health is lower than 200, so the bolts' special effect damages your for less.

Despite Hati's fearsome reputation, it was extremely weak for its level. Although its magic attacks were multi-hitting, they were only moderately accurate and hit very low, most of the time only dealing less than 100 damage. It also has surprisingly low defence, which might be why Fremennik citizens say it is vulnerable like any other wolf but has high endurance, as Hati has very low defence and very high life points. A somewhat large team of medium levels (around ten level 80 players) should have been able to kill the Winter Wolf quickly.

Confusion over Paws' Bonus

When originally announced in Behind the Scenes, Jagex said the gloves would provide 10 hours of bonus, but upon release Jagex announced, "There is a limit to the additional experience you can gain from these gloves, but that limit is determined by your levels in those combat skills." The experience bonus increased dependent upon the level of the skill.

Locations

Drops

Once Hati died, anyone who participated in the fight may receive the Hati head, cloak and paws. The Hati cloak is only available as a drop during the 2012 Winter event. Only one Hati head, cloak, and set of paws could be obtained per player. These items may be stored in the toy box of a player-owned house. To be eligible to receive the drop, one would have to have hit at least 1 life point of damage on Hati.

Trivia

Olaf the Bard mentioning Hati.
  • Hati is a wolf from Norse mythology who will devour the moon during Ragnarök (The End of Things). His brother is Sköll. His father is Fenrir.
  • The Hati Wolf is the first seasonal content for members, as stated by Jagex in the 2011 Behind The Scenes - January.

  • It was possible to lure Hati to far away places like Catherby. However, a hidden update allowed Hati to have a teleport back to its spawn point should it become stuck, making it more difficult to lure Hati to far off places.
  • There is a bug that multiple Hatis would spawn at the same time. Players should be cautious, as being attacked by more than two of those would be quite dangerous.
  • Hati and Sköll are quite often killed on world 2 which is the most popular Members Trade Server.
  • When speaking to the Fremennik citizen standing just outside Rellekka about Hati and Sköll, the player asks, "Can they be stopped? Killed? Reasoned with?" to which she replies, "They do not know pity or remorse or fear, and absolutely will not stop until their purpose is fulfilled." This is an allusion to a dialogue between Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor in the original Terminator film.
