{{flavour|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.}}

[[File:lupine talisman.png]] A '''lupine talisman''' is a [[talisman]] that changes you into a ferocious werewolf.

==Useful Info==
When e'''V'''oked, a lupine talisman turns you into Werewolf Form, which lasts until you end the form. Entering or exiting a form takes 5 turns.

Werewolf Form has the following effects:

'''Offensive traits'''
*'''[[Unarmed Combat]]:''' 9 base damage (''counting the [[Claws]] 3 mutation, which is not accounted for in the in-game inventory'')
**Claws 3 also boosts the offhand punch and cuts off [[hydra]] heads.
*Str+3
*Dex+3
*'''Werefury''': killing enemies in melee gives you a slaying bonus, which stacks up to +12. You get an extra 1.20-2.20 Slay per kill, depending on your Shapeshifting skill.
*'''Werehowl''': if you Werefury bonus is at least 5 slay, 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.

'''Defensive traits'''
*Cold resistance (rC+)
*Willpower vulnerability (Will-)
*Regeneration bonus (similar to an [[amulet of regeneration]])

'''Restrictions'''
*'''[[Transformation#Useful Info|Melded Gear]]:''' Gloves, boots, barding
*'''Suppressed [[mutations]]:''' None

Werewolf Form has a minimum [[Shapeshifting]] skill of 12, and the maximum skill is 20.

==Strategy==
For melee characters, Werewolf Form can offer strong and entirely passive crowd control, without melding body armour or shield. But having to invest ~12 levels of Shapeshifting for a form that provides few initial bonuses can be tough to manage. Also watch out for Will-, which can be lethal - certain statuses ([[paralysis]], [[vex]]) can kill you before you get another turn to act.

This form's claws will cut [[hydra]] heads, causing more to grow.
