More commonly, tales recount the plight of men cursed to adopt the shape of beasts, a cruel manifestation of their own primal instincts. Yet, scant attention is paid to the inverse - for indeed, it is somehow more chilling…
A beast assuming human attributes is a terrible thing. The pure, instinctual essence of the wolf, driven by its natural inclinations to hunt, protect, and roam, is perverted by possessiveness, dominance, and malice. In the grip of these unnatural impulses, the creatures' forms have contorted and warped, their dew claws elongating into grotesque thumbs, their vocal cords twisting to produce a horrific facsimile of human speech.
This transformation stems from the Alpha of the Kin Pack, a great wolf whose unnatural avarice has twisted its form most fundamentally. Standing upright, this amalgamation of man and beast possesses the most terrifying gift of all—Ego.
