'''Varns''' also known as jackals, are a relatively intelligent cross between humans and wolves<ref>{{TwoWorlds|Two Worlds}} {{TwoWorlds|Strategy Guide}} P 187. ISBN:0-979551333-0-7.</ref> that prefer desert terrain. They originate in the {{Lore|Dra'kar Desert}}.<ref>{{TwoWorldsII|Two Worlds II}} {{TwoWorldsII|Official Strategy Guide}} P 218. ISBN:978-3940252-15-9</ref> They were supposedly created by the {{Lore|White Dragon}} to steal {{Lore|dragon eggs}}. They regularly lay sulfur crystals on an altar in the desert to summon the White Dragon and line the pathway to their altar with the heads of Groms.<ref>{{TwoWorlds|Two Worlds}} {{TwoWorlds|Strategy Guide}} P 191. ISBN:0-979551333-0-7.</ref>

Varns walk upright, bear fangs and, have a wolf's head. They can tear off quite a chunk of their opponent’s flesh and are known to consume {{Lore|human}} meat. Individual clans often have Shamans who possess powerful spells. {{Lore|Weapons}} and {{Lore|armor}} are part of the Varns standard equipment –and this, combined with their intelligence and sheer animal strength lead to them being some formidable foes.<ref>{{Meta|Two Worlds: The Temptation Antaloor Post}} Issue 9</ref>

==Trivia==
* Varm Shamans like to call themselves "The Wolf's Heart". This is because the central organs of the body emit high mana values.<ref>{{TwoWorldsII|Two Worlds II}} {{TwoWorldsII|Official Strategy Guide}} P 280. ISBN:978-3940252-15-9</ref>
<!--
The source is the Two Worlds II Strategy guide. A quest from Rogdor. It's not apparent if the ambush was by Varns, so this trivia is hidden for that reason.

* After the {{Lore|Battle of Oswaroth}}, one of the few surviving units of {{Lore|Orcs}} was ambushed by a camp of Varns. With the help of a mercenary named {{Lore|Velroy}}, a friend of the camp.
