What it does

The greater shape, from your own body or from the Wolf-Skin (on its form bar): 60 Fury (50 with a dire wolfskin), a worn wolfskin. Refused indoors, at doors and where an L foot box has no room. Grow in 0.5 s at half pace; press again to drop back to the Wolf-Skin (hold 0.4 s for your own body). Body: the wolf sheet at integer scale 2 (64x64, shaded at x1 so the rim stays 2 px), in the pelt's coat (frost pelts: the rime ramp), size L (hurt radius 17), no stairs, the camera one whole step out. Health = your max x (1.6 + the pelt's health), the share kept; knockback immune; armour: your gear's x1.0 + 10. Walk 6.0, sprint 8.4 (the lope: 8 stamina/s). Fury drains 3/s in a fight and 9/s out of one. LMB Maul: 0.16/0.08/0.32 s (0.56 s), reach 2.0, arc 140 deg, every foe in the arc (foeOf, a fresh HitSpec each), power 1.6, heavy (knock 220), 25 % bleed, 8 stamina, +6 Fury a landed maul. RMB Dire Lunge: 4 tiles, power 2.2, heavy (knock 260), 20 stagger, 18 stamina, cooldown 2 s. Space Bowl: a 3-tile shoulder run (no i-frames) that knocks every S or M body in its path aside (knock 260, 15 stagger), 20 stamina. Looming: every 1.5 s, creatures and bandits within 6 tiles that are fighting you or yours turn to face you for 0.6 s (the gaze hold), so the pack's and the party's blows land on their flanks. The form bar takes any Wolf technique with wolf in its weapons except Throat-Hold, Climb and Tear and Grey Rush (too big for them). Kin-scent, locks, Berserk and exits as the Wolf-Skin; cooldown 30 s from the return.

Edge: Grizzled

Health factor 1.6 -> 1.9.
