I know what you’re thinking: so what? Technically, any other changing breed could eat someone’s eyes. Here’s what makes them bad ass: Aside from the fact that they’re the only living flying Fera left in the game, wereravens have a unique ability that sets them apart from all the others. That means that if your campaign has a Corax in the party, he or she likely can’t shut their beak.īut I picked them with a good reason in mind… They’re often regarded as news carriers, flitting from city to city and spreading whatever word they have. In a game system that many say tends to focus on combat, they’re pretty squishy – in fact, a Corax is better fleeing the fight rather than sticking around.įurthermore, they’re terrible gossips. CoraxĪt a glance, the wereravens might seem like they don’t deserve a place on this list. Should they fail, then nothing happens…except when the mood strikes Mangi to claim the life of the Gurahl as payment for that failure. If the Gurahl wins, they can enter the spirit realm (the Umbra) to bring the spirit of the deceased person back. (Of course, death itself takes the form of a bear, which just proves how cool bears are.) An offering is made to Mangi, the Death Bear, and then the Gurahl issues a challenge for the life of a deceased person. In game, this ability is called the Rite of Fighting the Death Bear. When a Gurahl deems it necessary, they can literally fight death to bring someone back from its icy clutches.
Here’s what makes them bad ass: Gurahl, wise and patient, were entrusted with true power over life and death. If you’re the type of person who thinks healing classes in other game systems are boring, let’s skip to the reason I added them on this list… They’re the healers of the Fera, known for their unmatched caretaking skills. Different members of the Gurahl species can transform into black bears, polar bears, or grizzly bears.Īside from bears in general just being amazing, the Gurahl have a rich culture filled with tradition. Then consider the fact that the bears Gurahl change into are awesome on their own. The idea of a person changing into a bear by itself has enough merit to impress most people. Okay, so it should be no surprise that a shapeshifting bear would end up on this list. Here are what I think are the most bad ass changing breeds in the World of Darkness… Gurahl Note: this list is not in any particular order.

The keyword there is “felt.” It should go without saying that this list is completely subjective.
Instead, I picked Fera that I felt had the most intriguing lore and abilities. I did not necessarily factor in combat prowess when I chose particular Fera. Refer to the above list to see which Fera are extinct – I marked if they’re no longer walking, crawling, or flying anywhere on the earth. As interesting as the extinct Fera are, I’m considering them ineligible for my list if they’re no longer living. I want to explain what made me decide to pick one changing breed over another.įor starters, I only considered extant Fera. Okay, one last thing before I actually show you my list.
#LIST OF WEREWOLF THE APOCALYPSE CHANGING BREEDS FULL#
The full list of changing breeds, both living and extinct, is as follows: Those are actual changing breeds in the game, although the list doesn’t stop there. At the beginning of this post, I mentioned werebears and weresharks. They’re so popular, actually, that all changing breeds that aren’t werewolves get called by another name – Fera. This is not limited to the ever-famous werewolf, although they tend to be the most popular type. The changing breeds are, however, any shapeshifting person. Werewolf: the Apocalypse is a tabletop RPG that focuses on these awesome creatures, but mainly one specific kind: werewolves. I’m limiting the list to five only here, because if you let me go much longer than that, I’d never stop writing.Īnyway, without further ado… What are Changing Breeds?īefore we get to the fun stuff, let’s rewind a little bit and start with an introduction to the concept of changing breeds. That’s why, in this article, I’m planning on showing you what I feel are the most bad ass changing breeds in Werewolf: the Apocalypse. There are so many mind-blowingly awesome options to explore in this tabletop RPG, after all. Nevertheless, I feel like we should yank the spotlight away from them, if only for a little while, to highlight how amazing some of the other changing breeds are. Yes, I know, it’s called Werewolf: the Apocalypse, not Werebear or Wereshark. Werewolves kind of hog the spotlight in the Werewolf: the Apocalypse.
