Sort of...The Varg is actually quite weak on its own; but as it can summon an infinite supply of Hounds, it can be very difficult for an unprepared player to deal with. Spawning a Varg into any world is purely optional though - only showing up if a character follows a set of Suspicious Dirt Piles to the end of the trail, and even then only rarely.

The real purpose of Vargs is to discourage constant hunting of Koalefants as a Meat supply, and to provide more experienced players with a renewable source of Hounds. Vargs are difficult to pen, but doing so will yield the player with a basically limitless supply of Hound's Teeth, Monster Meat, and Red/Blue Gems.
