| 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. |
A lupine talisman is a talisman that changes you into a ferocious werewolf.
