+===== Transformation =====
+Changing into the form of a [[werewolf|werewolf]] can be quite a painful ordeal. Hairs, usually brown, will begin to sprout from every pore of the victims skin. Muscles will bulge and become stronger. The victim's jaw will stretch open painfully as their teeth begin to pop and crack, eventually being replaced by sharp fangs. All sense of reason is lost as the victim gives into animalistic instincts.
