An painted eyepatch made from a scrap of wolf pelt. Transforms the user into a vicious werewolf, muscles surging with predatory instinct. Killing enemies in this form will give a stacking bonus to your damage and accuracy, and slaying enough of them in a row will cause you to unleash a vicious howl that makes any still alive cower in fear - and leaves them susceptible to a devastating leaping takedown.

A lupine talisman is a talisman that changes you into a ferocious werewolf.

Werehowl: if you Werefury bonus is at least 5, you may unleash a howl that freezes all nearby enemies in place with fear if it overcomes their willpower. Howl power is 80-120, depending on your Shapeshifting skill.
Bestial Takedown ability, which performs a jumping attack at +(75-125)% damage against any enemy who is currently afraid (whether from you howling at them, or any other source, like a scroll of fear). Kills made by Bestial Takedown will always cause you to perform a howl afterward.
