Wolf-Skin, Throat-Hold

What it does

Wolf-Skin and the Moonless Wolf (not the Dire Wolf). Leap (a BodyMoves pounce, 0.3 s) onto the back of an M or L beast within 3 tiles: bear, polar bear, boar, sabre-tooth, bison, mammoth, yeti and their kind; never people, a mount or a rider, sentries, structures or dragons. You ride it up to 2.5 s, held on its back at riding's seat anchors 14 px up (above ALT_REACH, so ground blows can't reach you), biting every 0.5 s at power 0.7 (5 bites, 3.5 in all), 6 stagger each. Its own attacks find nothing on its back; an L beast bucks you off after 1.5 s. While you ride, it is flanked from every side for all of yours. You leave on Space (a free Bound off its back), at its death, if it runs into a wall (thrown 2 tiles, no damage), or when the time ends.

Edge: Long Ride

You ride 2.5 -> 3.2 s (an L beast bucks you after 1.5 -> 1.9 s). Honed on a band hunt, not in the ring (R10): land it 4 times with a band member of its tier present.
