Description[edit]
A seawolf is a chaotic evil lycanthrope that appears as if it were a huge, wolf-headed seal which has fangs filling its mouth. Once infected a victim changes into a seawolf within 2–5 days, leaving their former life behind and joining a seawolf pack. As opposed to other lycanthropes, seawolves are not affected by the full moon.
