I happen to agree with Fallout, it would be nice to see some new bombs... including new recipes for up to 5* variants.

Prepared!
Muahahaha!
i haz sum uvs jus 4 u, boss!
The magnus, flourish, hunting blade line should be especially effective for this new boss. The stun/knock back and piercing damage of the magnus line would be the best gun for this boss since wolvers have particular difficulty dodging magnus projectiles and severe weakness to piercing damage. If the flourish isn't nerfed, this sword line will pwn the boss. Time also to remove the dust gathering from the hunting blade/wild hunting blade you have in inventory.
All those useless beast UVs now have purpose! (I have some high and medium sword and bomb UVs dying to be tested.)
The wolver boss has been rumored to deliver piercing damage so all those useless piercing protection shield, helmet and body gears such as the Jelly Set now have value.

Nick's Twitter does make the new boss sound part Pokemon and part Jabberwocky:

@ Loki
Good question Loki!
Mr. Impostocube hinted at the Snarbolax in Jabberwocky speak. Could be the new boss is the nightmare version of Boswick's chromalisk family as the Jabberwocky as illustrated by John Tenniel (the cartoonist who illustrated the original Alice books by Lewis Carroll) is indeed some bizarre dragon. We can only guess at the Snarbolax!

Well, isn't the wolver boss
Well, isn't the wolver boss supposed to be Vog? So I guess Snarbolax could be a different beast (maybe even an unlisted type, there aren't really many beasts to choose from...)

The great fire beast Vog
The great fire beast Vog isn't a wolver himself, but a fiery deity of sorts who embraces some creatures and grants them a bit of power. Vog's 'cubs' are more or less acquired and forced to spread his fiery love across the world.
The Snarbolax has no relation to Vog.

@Iceni
I doubt he'll deal piercing as Tier 1 mobs are meant to only deal normal type damage.

@ Milkman
Bosses don't always conform to rules. Take Vanaduke for instance. Noone really knows for sure how to classify him. Is he fiend, undead, or some horrible accident involving leftover, foil wrapped pizza someone decided to heat up in the office microwave? Bosses seem to be encoded with the DEITY gene and thus can reign whatever unholy terror lurks in the mind of the sleep deprived developers.

I sincerely hope so.
I sincerely hope so.
EDIT: I also hope that the similarity in name to Snorlax means that our new tier one boss will make use of that elusive sleep status.

Can't be Vog, because Lord
Can't be Vog, because Lord Vanaduke is already the current Fire/Undead boss.
Possibly a mix of a Rabid Wolver and Skolver?
Or a Wolver that induces sleep. :o
More bombs, but why not more guns? :D

@magus
I approve, especially since now Pit-Boss can get demoted, who exactly is demoting him? Ooooh~
Devilites are the best, even have the IGN Devilite. Whoever came up with them definitely doesn't deserve to be turned into an Overtimer!

CEO Devilite - like a boss.
@iNZANE There are no bombs that can be purchased with boss tokens yet, bombers are being left out in the cold :( But yeah, any new boss-weapons would be appreciated, especially an exceptional gun :D

Thought monsters in Tier 1 could only deal normal damage?

Bosses don't have to conform
Bosses don't have to conform to Tier or Monster family types.
I don't think they have to conform to damage types, either.
In any case, y'all just jelly because I got me a Jelly Set.

Whoever thought of Devilite probably played RO and watched office space around the same time.
