Changes checklist

[raidraptors]

Mandatory:

✓ Upper and lower canine teeth elongated into sharp fangs.
✓ Bear-like furred ears.
✓ Fur on the back, shoulders, and arms.
✓ Very large, black claws on the hands and feet.
✓ A larger size. Transformed werebears will be roughly 1.5-2 times the size of their human selves.
✓ Vulnerability to silver. Silver will burn the skin on contact and can cause severe injury or even death if the werebear is shot or stabbed with something made of silver.
✓ Increased strength. Werebears are much stronger than a normal human could ever be.
✓ Sharpened senses. Werebears have a keen sense of hearing, sight, and smell that combined make them very formidable hunters.
✓ Post-transformation fatigue. While werebears are very energetic in their bear forms, they tend to have major fatigue when turning back to human form. Thus, they tend to be nocturnal.
✓ Hunger and a hunting instinct. Werebears are omnivores and can eat pretty much anything, however, they'll need meat to keep their energy levels up. Hunting animals will satiate them for a short time, but the longer they go without hunting a human, the more they'll be compelled to do so until they start losing their self-control.


Optional Changes:

✓ Fur on any other part of the body.
✓ Bright yellow eyes.
✓ The rest of the teeth elongated into fangs.
? A bear tail.
✓ Longer arms for the ability to run fast on all fours.
? Any number of bear-like facial features, ranging from mild to fully ursine.
✓ Moments of high emotion can cause the werebear to partially or fully transform, depending on the intensity of the emotion. Transformations due to high emotion can only last continuously for an hour, and will cause heavy strain on the monster the longer it continues.
✓ A territorial instinct. The werebear, in bear form, will feel a deep connection to the area they've selected as their territory, and may become enraged when others invade it without getting permission.
✓ The ability to shift from werebear form to full bear form. In this form, the character will look like a normal bear and will be able to travel faster. However, they will also be more vulnerable.
✓ Increased awareness of their surroundings, including weather patterns, layout of nearby terrain (caves and underground structures included), as well as instinctive knowledge of which plants are edible and poisonous.
✓ Skinchanger abilities. By using this ability, the werebear can shift back to their human form, even during the night, for up to an hour. Their bear fur and hide will be left behind after the transformation, which they can either hide or wear like a fur coat. They will keep all of their werebear strengths, defenses, and abilities in this form, but will be drastically weakened if the fur is damaged or destroyed, or if they don't reunite with it within the hour. This ability can be used once per day.
✓ Superhuman climbing ability, enabling them to scale trees and tall buildings.
