Feral & Wolfling Runs

Wolfling Norns

Abandoned, minimum preparation of world and later interference.
This technique is tougher on your norns than a feral run, often leaving no results, but when it works it produces tough norns.

Wolflings are lost or abandoned children raised by wolves, the term originated in India.

Feral Norns

Original norns trained, many cobs installed, abandon like wolflings with only minor interference.
This technique tends to produce better results but less tough norns.

The term comes from when domesticated animal, such as cats,
which revert to semi-wildness when left to their own devices, especially for several generations.

Ten Recommended cobs

Some of my Feral and Wolfling Runs:

Note that I often keep my world running in the background when I'm home, or when I'm out for a short time, so many of my own norns come from feral/wolfling runs.
That said, I've run quite a few runs on several computers over the years in separate populations.

 Nualbian Run

I used Choices, Desert, Dracula, Grelloran, Hippy, Plant, Starlite and Survivor norn breeds.
