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 Forms|Beast form]] makes for a very powerful animal form. '''You'll be able to change to and from wolf form at will''', with the following limitations:
* Characters with Lycanthropy may become a wolf at any time, instantly. However, to become humanoid (or your alternate beast form) again, wolves must kill a certain number of enemies before their beast spirit will now allow them to un-transform. The higher your Lycanthropy level, the fewer enemies you need to kill to un-transform, until at Lycanthropy level 53, you can switch back and forth without any killing.
* During the full moon, Lycans are forcefully turned into wolf form and cannot un-transform for the three days of the full moon. This happens once every lunar month, matching the real life moon cycles. If your Lycanthropy-infected character was not in wolf form and offline when the full moon began, during the full moon you will be transformed into the default brown-fur wolf form immediately upon logging in. If you have unlocked and want to be in the Winter Wolf or Dark Wolf form during the full moon, you need to be in that form ''before'' the full moon phase begins.
* Remember that turning into a Lycanthrope is a '''PERMANENT CHARACTER ALTERATION THAT CANNOT BE UNDONE''' and '''will NEVER be made reversible''' (the developers have ''repeatedly'' confirmed this). For this reason, it is highly advised you carefully consider the pros and cons before making the decision. For three days every month, Lycans are forced to play as a wolf, and several NPCs and vendors will not speak to wolves. Some can be persuaded to speak with wolves after a particular bribe or a short quest, but a few will not offer any options at all. This situation can by mitigated by using an alternate character and the transfer chest to sell items or by finding similar vendors in other zones who will speak to you or have a wolf bribe quest.
 
===Advantages===
*Lycanthropy is one of the only few animal forms that can shift in and out of their humanoid or alternate beast form at will (except during full moons). And the transformation is instantaneous.
*The [[Beast Metabolism]] ability, in which you can consume the corpses of your defeated enemies rather than burying them, provides a unique temporary health regeneration buff and, when leveled, significant boosts in overall [[Metabolism]].
*The [[Howling]] ability, which grants health regeneration boosts and damage boosts—a buff which can last for up to five hours if the howling is done with additional howling wolves present.
*During the full moon you have unique quest objectives that serve as an interesting alternative to typical skill progression.
*Like all beast forms, Lycans (when in wolf form) can learn and use the [[Warden]] combat skill.
*Wolves can wear and benefit from crafted wolf-specific metal armor (see [[Armorsmithing]]).
 
===Disadvantages===
*Lycanthropy is an [[Animal Form]]. Like all animal forms, you have no hands and many NPCs will refuse to talk to you. A few animals (such as [[Red]] in [[Kur]]) may not talk to you either or lose favor if you try to speak with them because you are a scary animal. The defensive pylons at the Fox Camp in [[Kur]] will also attack you.
*For the three days of the full moon you will be unable to return to your human form no matter what. Words of power will work for their duration.
*You cannot chop wood or milk cows while in wolf form. (Again, having a humanoid alternate character to deal with these matters when you are in wolf form can be handy, pun intended.)
*Secondary combat skills while in wolf form are limited to [[Animal Handling]], [[Mentalism]], [[Necromancy]], [[Priest]], [[Psychology]], [[Unarmed]], or [[Warden]] because all the other combat skills require a specific enabling held weapon. Weapons for other skills are not recognized as being equipped while in wolf form, although any bonuses or mods on the primary or secondary weapon items do still apply.

==Overview{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Mechanics ==Beast form makes for * Once a very powerful animal form. Youplayer becomes a werewolf, they'll be able to change especially vulnerable to silver and from it at willwolfsbane, both in humanoid and beast forms. Eating food with the following limitations:* You may become wolfsbane or holding 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).* During the full moon, you silver weapon 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 straightharm werewolves.
While you're in beast form, you will have the following abilities, among others:* The ability to combine different moves, dealing mainly crushing and slashing damage, with several side effects such as stuns, heavy armor damage, bleeding, and even a special "pack attack" that will deal increased damage for each werewolf attacking the same enemy. As you find Lycanthrope gear, you will gain several combos from it, similar to unarmed meditation or sword calligraphy ones, that will give you even more effects and aoe options.* The ability to howl, eventually gaining a morale boost buff from it that will increase your damage and regeneration. (Supposedly improves with the Howling subskill, altho the means to level up this subskill consistently and its effects are rather obscure).* The ability to feed on enemy corpses (currently, no limit to what you can eat, even tornadoes!), gaining a very nice regeneration buff from this, for a duration that will depend on your Beast Metabolism subskill (the more you feed on enemies, the higher this subskill will go).* During the four three days before full moon, and the first three days of it (when you're already force-shapeshifted), you'll werewolves receive the '''Lunacy''' buff, which increases your their max health by +30. (Both in your humanoid and beast forms)* 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.
==Abilities=={{:Werewolf Abilities}}* Wolves have the ability to feed on enemy corpses for a regeneration buff that becomes more powerful based on [[Beast Metabolism]]
* The ability to howl increases a wolf's (out and in) combat health regeneration and damage. It will last up to an hour for a single wolf or for example 5 hours for a group of 5 wolves. Werewolves that howl together boost both effects and max duration by - +1h +2hp regen and +1 damage for each wolf howling in proximity. Repeatedly howling will also eventually get wolves experience on the [[Howling]] sub-skill. ==Advanced= The Full Moon ===The following skills * During a real life full Moon players will be stuck as a werewolf. If players are in white wolf form before the full moon youstill stay in this form which is preferable due to the form'll only s cold weather mitigation. * If wolves try to change forms during the full moon they will be able stuck as the default brown wolf. Players can not change from normal wolf form to learn from several scrolls found out in white wolf form during the world, or as monster drops:{| {{STDT|sortable}}event.!Ability Name!Description!Damage Type!Level|-| Pouncing Rend || Leap * The full moon is an event.
