Near-Wolf
See Shapeshifting
Like Dalu form, Urshul is an intermediary form with a measure of supernatural strength balanced with a touch more control. Whereas Dalu is handy for gaining physical strength while retaining a semblance of humanity, Urshul allows a werewolf to use some of the strength of Gauru along with the speed of Urhan.
In Urshul form, a character becomes a huge wolf ranging from three to five feet at the shoulder and from six to eight feet in length. The head is massive and the shoulders stocky, allowing the Urshul to tear huge hunks of flesh from an enemy. The Urshul has the same coloration as Urhan form. Human speech is impossible in Urshul form, but the character can communicate using the First Tongue with limited facility. The shape of the body and scents emitted allow for the communication of quick, simple ideas within a group of werewolves the character knows well (i.e., her pack).
As in Gauru form, characters in Urshul gain three bonus dice to all perception rolls. They may also track by scent[1]. The claws and teeth of an Urshul-form werewolf inflict lethal damage, and werewolf can use a bite attack without first having to grapple an opponent. The form inflicts Lunacy, but witnesses are treated as having two more dots of Willpower (to a maximum of 10) for purposes of being affected[2].
