Sylvin Alpha Werewolf

Source: Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting

Lycanthropy is traditionally associated with the moon. Ancerra has five moons, each with its own form of Lycanthropy. In order from the closest to the farthest moon, the moons are: Primor, Sylvin, Scarlan, Garvor, and Diminus.

By traveling through other planes, such as the Everwilds, folk have populated the three habitable moons: Primor, Sylvin, and Diminus.

Primor is primarily a desert, while Sylvin consists mostly of forests with some surface water and ice caps. Diminus’s surface is entirely frozen, but hot spots bubbling up from the moon’s mantle offer pockets of habitable caves. Scarlan has a sulfurous atmosphere, and Garvor - the largest of the five - has no atmosphere, making both uninhabited.

When a creature suffers from Lycanthropy, its lycanthropic characteristics are influenced by the moon that is linked to that strain. Werewolves linked to Garvor are larger than others, while werewolves linked to Diminus have ice-based powers.

Sylvin Werewolf

Werewolves bound to Sylvin often develop a capability to cast primal magic. This magic is usually intrinsic and is not particularly flashy; along with Garvor werewolves, Sylvin werewolves are the most stereotypical lycanthropes out of the five, and many legends recount an unfortunate adventuring party’s encounters with packs of Sylvin werewolves.

Features
Shapeshifter. The Sylvin Alpha Werewolf’s original form is a humanoid with scraggly, hairy features and pronounced canine teeth. While in its true form, the Werewolf has autonomy. Every night, the Werewolf has a chance of transforming into its bestial nature, losing its sentience and embracing a bloodthirsty rampage. The chance of the transformation ranges from 0% when Sylvin is a new moon to 100% when it is a full moon. Bestial Form. When the Sylvin Alpha Werewolf is in its bestial form, it possesses DR 4/Radiant and can use its Bite attack. Primal Hunter. Using AWR, the Sylvin Alpha Werewolf can cast the following primal spells innately: (At Will) Creeping Fear, Hunter’s Quarry, Nighteye, Padfoot (3/Rest) Billowing Fog, Bullish Strength (1/Rest) Carnage, Terror Superior Pack Tactics. The Sylvin Alpha Werewolf and any number of its allies may gain the Flanking condition when they are both adjacent to the same target, even if they typically would not be Flanking. The Werewolf and its allies benefitting from this ability count each instance of Flanking separately, gaining +1 TA for each.
