Skill in fighting as a wolf beast. Also indicates your ability to control and suppress the beast mode.
}}
=={{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview==A [[Lycanthropy|Lycanthrope]]'s Beast form makes for a very powerful animal form. '''You'll be able to change to and from it at will''', with the following limitations:
* You may become a wolf at any given moment, but your beast spirit will resist turning back to humanoid form until you've killed enough enemies (the higher your level, the less kills you'll require). Currently, level 60 lycanthropes may turn to and from wolf form without having to shed any blood.
* During the full moon, you will be forcefully turned into your beast form, and won't be able to turn back until it's all over. This happens once every lunar month, matching the RL moon cycles, for the three first days of it straight.
* You will receive the option to perform several tasks for Norala, goddess of the hunt, during the full moon. These quests will earn you tokens, which you'll then be able to turn in in exchange for different boons (extra max hp/power, werewolf damage, damage mitigation, abilities...) that will last you until the days prior to the next full moon
* Keep in mind that, once you become a werewolf, you'll be especially vulnerable to silver and wolfsbane, both in your humanoid and beast forms. Eating foods that contain wolfsbane, and being hurt by or simply holding a silver weapon on your hand, are sure to cause some serious damage and potentially kill you.

== Lycanthropy {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Mechanics =====Altar of Norala===During the full moon, werewolves may now interact with an altar placed at the entrance of the werewolf den in [[Kur mountainsMountains]]. They may use it to perform several tasks for the goddess of the hunt, [[Norala]], which will earn them tokens they can then spend on special abilities, unlocks and boons. The tokens will only last for the duration of the full moon, and the bonuses unlocked will last until the next one, so the lycans Lycans can get themselves nearly a month long boosts that will affect both their beast and humanoid forms.
As of the 11/9/2015 update, 3 tokens of Norala can be spent during the full moon in order to increase werewolf form's level cap to 60 permanently. Several other abilities are also permanently unlocked in the same way after this.
