Forms

Gurahl are shapeshifters, able to achieve different forms to suit different needs. They are:

Homid
The human form. We look as normal as most people look.
Arthren
The near-man. Think neanderthal. Think high-school bully.
Crinos
Much like our lupine kin, we can achieve a hybrid form as well. While the wolves are built for speed and power, we are built for strength and endurance. We don't move fast, but one hit is usually all it requires.
Bjornen
The near-bear. Remember the bears of the Ice Age? We do...
Ursus
The modern bear. Each of us has a static form, but it can come from any breed of bear, from polar to sloth.
