Before its arrival, wind noises will be heard and the characters will quote about an incoming Giant. It can't be put to sleep, frozen or set on Fire. Toothtraps, fleshy bulbs are not effective, it will pull them in and throw them around effectively disarming them. Sealnado receives 34 additional damage when attacked with a Cutlass Supreme. Easiest way to deal with it is fighting it straight up or avoiding it until it despawns. Make sure to have enough armour, healing and sanity healing items. A single cutlass has about 4-5 times the durability needed, but it might be prudent to keep an extra one in a chest as the boss can disarm you and picking the weapon up from the ground can prove tricky.

Tiger Shark

The Tiger Shark is a pseudo-neutral Boss Mob found in the Shipwrecked DLC. It is a giant orange and black shark with stripes, as the name would suggest. It drops Raw Fish, Eye of the Tiger Shark, and Shark Gills when killed. It is only hostile to the player if the player is near the Sharkitten Den, or if it is attacked by the player. In Monsoon Season, it appears near the Den. It cannot be frozen with an Ice Staff and takes 4 Sleep Darts to be put to sleep.

Varg

The Varg, also known as the Warg, is an aggressive Mob in the Reign of Giants DLC. When tracking Suspicious Dirt Piles, there is a chance for a Varg to be found instead of a Koalefant or an Ewecus. This chance starts at 2.5% on Day one, and gradually increases to 16.5% chance on Day 100. There is also a chance that a Varg can spawn in place of a hound attack in Don't Starve Together. When killed, the Varg drops around 4-6 Monster Meat and 1-3 Hound's Tooth.
