Ulfheðnar (pronounced Oolf-Hath-nar) meaning 'Wolf Skin' are humans infected with the disease of Lycanthropy which gives them the ability to transform into a wolf or a hybrid of wolf and man. Ulfheðnar can change at will to and from animal and hybrid form, but on a night of a full moon, they transform involuntarily, and will remain in animal form until sunrise.
Whilst not inherently evil, in animal or hybrid form Ulfheðnar's must pass a morale check or attack any potential prey creature on sight, including friends and allies. and as such, these creature often live away from, or at best on the fringes of human settlements
