The Garou also grows a tail, which helps with balance.Ī werewolf in the war form may speak the Garou tongue perfectly well, and he may converse with wolves crudely. The arms become long and apelike, and the werewolf can move either on two legs or all fours. The head changes to a wolfs maw, and the fangs and claws are now fully grown. Shifting from Glabro to Crinos, the Garou grows in height by half and gains another 100% to 200% in weight. The natural form of all metisbreed Garou, the Crinos is not a form for deliberation, even with other werewolves. Statistic Adjustments: Strength +4, Dexterity +1, Stamina +3, Manipulation 0, Appearance 0įorm Description: Affectionately known as the “ninefoot snarling death-beast” form, a werewolf in Crinos wants to do only one thing - kill. The Glabro form is too crude and too easy to remember. While Garou can use this form to interact with human society, the typically don’t. Human speech, however, has a guttural rasp to it. Werewolves in Glabro can speak the Garou tongue and manage human language without too much trouble. More profuse, the teeth and nails elongate (although not enough to inflict any special damage), the brow slopes, and the character looks huge and menacing. A Garou shifting from Homid to Glabro gains from 100% to 200% in body weight (all muscle) and six inches in height. Statistic Adjustments: Strength +2, Stamina +2, Manipulation -2, Appearance -1įorm Description: The Glabro form is bipedal, and it doesn’t possess obvious fangs or claws, but the resemblance to a human being ends there.

Homid-form werewolves still trigger the Curse in normal humans, however. Homid: The Humanįorm Description: The natural form for homid breed Garou and the form in which they feel most comfortable, Homid form is in all ways identical to a normal human being (save for lupus and metis werewolves, who are allergic to silver and possess regenerative powers in this form). Any clothes the character is wearing when she shifts will probably be shredded unless they are dedicated (see the Rite of Talisman Dedication) in which case, they meld with the character’s body and reappear when she takes Homid form again. The same is true if the player spends a Rage point to enact the change. If a character is shifting to her breed form, the change is automatic and instantaneous, no matter how many forms must be passed through.

Therefore, the player must roll one success to begin the change and then one for each form the character must “pass through” to get to the desired form.

She must cross over all intermediate forms before reaching the one she desires. However, the number of successes needed also varies based on which form the character is attempting to reach. The difficulty varies based on the character’s starting form. In truth, the Garou wear five different forms, each suited to different tasks and situations.Ĭhanging form requires a Stamina + Primal-Urge roll. Many legends speak of werewolves assuming only two forms, human and wolf.
