Hati

Hati (pronounced HAH-tee) is a wolf first mentioned in the 2010 Christmas event. Brundt the Chieftain and Olaf the Bard say that the "great wolf" has been rampaging through Rellekka. Olaf says that the wolf killed one of his family members.

In the January 2011 Behind the Scenes, Jagex stated that, "The fight itself is designed for a group of mid- to high-level adventurers". This group of players will 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. (This bonus was changed on release and was not time based but level and xp based. See below.) In addition, players may also receive a wolf hat for cosmetic purposes only. Players do not gain Experience for fighting Hati, only the opportunity to receive his drops.

The Hati will remain in the game until 14 February as "seasonal content". As with holiday events, the wolf will be removed after that date, but the reward items will remain. On May 10th, the charges will be lost. Hati can currently be lured and can hit multiple people outside of multicombat zones. Some players are using this feature to kill bots, also known as macros, all over RuneScape.

To begin hunting Hati, talk to the Fremennik citizen just inside Rellekka's gate (not required). The player can receive a free teleport to Relleka from the Wolf hunter in Gunnarsgrunn. Hati has a combat level of 654. Hati has 3 respawn points, and will respawn at one every few minutes. The spawns are 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 is aggressive, and will attack with magic from afar, making him easier to find when hunting.

Strategy
Hati has a melee attack and a magic attack. The magic attack is a multi-target attack, although this only hits other players if they are near the target player. Rumours persist that the magic based attack freezes the player or lowers the players stats, although these are false. Occasionally, you will 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 Curses.

According to the Fremennik citizen, Hati is 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 mentions that Hati has a much higher endurance than the average wolf and should not be taken lightly. Attacking with range or mage will only cause you to be attacked with magic, so in this case protect from magic is recommended. Note that the magic attacks will only partially be absorbed by the protect prayer - a small amount of damage will still be taken. Using ruby bolts(e) you can only hit 500 despite the expected 4000.

Despite Hati's fearsome reputation, it is EXTREMELY weak for its level. Although its magic attacks are multi-hitting, they are only moderately accurate and hits very low, most of the time only dealing less than 100 damage. Hati also has an even more laughably low defence. It is quite rare to see "miss" hitsplats on Hati even when low levels (around level 50 players) are involved. A somewhat large team of medium levels (around ten level 80 players) should be able to kill the Winter Wolf quickly.

If Hati wanders or pursues a player into Rellekka (which is considered fairly uncommon), players should be aware that this is a single combat area and only one person will be able to fight Hati at a time. This can be dangerous for players who are not equipped for a long solo fight where the monster attacks with melee and magic. For this reason it is advisable to bring food, prayer potions and a super or extreme set, even if you encounter Hati elsewhere and do not end up using them. Despite this, Hati is still considered the easiest monster of his level to solo, this being due to his low defense and considerably low maximum damage (relative to his level).

Once Hati dies, anyone who participated in the fight may receive the Hati head and paws. Only one Hati head and set of paws can be obtained per player. Both items may be stored in the toy box of a player-owned house.

Confusion over Paws' Bonus
When originally announced in Behind the Scenes, Jagex said these 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 increases dependent upon the level of the skill.

Trivia

 * Hati is a wolf from Norse mythology who will devour the moon during Ragnarök (The End of Things). 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.
 * Hati is the second non-quest boss monster outside of Daemonheim that can be attacked with a left click. The first boss with this mechanic was Nex, who was released just one week prior.
 * Killing the wolf and receiving the drops gives a special message when talking to the Fremmenik Citizen. After killing wolf.png
 * If you die when wearing the gloves and hood, they will not show up in your gravestone like a lot of holiday items. Although, instead of retrieving the item from Diango in Draynor, you can get a replacement pair from the Fremennik Citizen outside of the Fremennik Gates.
 * The citizen mentions that Hati's brother Sköll will eventually eat the sun but until then they will rage on through the Winter and Summer seasons. This may be a hint as to if another giant wolf will be fought in the summer.
 * You do not gain any experience from fighting Hati.
 * There is a glitch when Hati is killed, the items dropped by the wolf would drop on top of a tree. They can still be picked up, though.
 * Hati has the same number of life points as the Corporeal Beast.
 * As seen in the picture to the above right, it is possible to lure Hati to far away places such as 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. The teleport can be seen in the picture to the right.
 * It is currently dangerous to get to the rock crabs, complete The Tale of the Muspah, or hunt polar kebbits, because Hati may appear when you least expect it, and his magic attack can hit from a distance. This has led to the death of many low level players, who train on rock crabs, because of having Hati spawning nearby.
 * A glitch occurs were two Hatis spawn together making it harder to kill Hati as both will be aggresive and will attack you the best stragedy is to get one stuck behind a tree.
 * Most players find Hati as a nuisiance due to his constant wandering around the forest attacking players doing quest such as Fur 'n' Seek or Olaf's Quest and possibley The Fremennik Trials.
