Hound corpses are not counted as Possessed Vargs follower, results it have more than 4 hounds

Changed Status to Fixed

Please note that the fix was for a small window where the Varg howl happens during the Hound's death animation (before it becomes a corpse).

A hound limit of 5 is actually normal for day 87 or later. In my testing the hound-spawning mechanics followed this pattern:

• Day 1-22: spawns up to 2 per howl, capping at 4
• Day 23-36: spawns up to 3 per howl, capping at 4
• Day 37-82: spawns up to 3 per howl, capping at 5
• Day 83-infinity: spawns up to 4 per howl, capping at 5

That said, it does seem like hounds aren't counted as followers during the split-second between when they're alive and when they become a corpse. This means you can get scenarios like this, where having corpses don't increase the cap beyond what it normally is:

But you can also have scenarios like this where corpses very much DO increase the hound cap. This sort of thing will happen whenever you kill a hound while the hound limit has been reached and the varg's timer is off cooldown.
