The garou berserker at first might appear like a very muscular Norse warrior walking about with a great warhammer, bare chested, covered in blue tattoos denoting tribal affiliation, generally sporting swooping mustaches, beards, braids or bald heads. The fact that they can simply wade into battle without armor as arrows get lodged into their flesh, doing nothing but barely bothering them, sometimes swords and spears simply snap off on their iron like hide. But when garou berserkers fly into a rage they change into massive wolves covered in razor sharp quills and capable of running and climbing up buildings. |
