Nords: Werewargs

Like the Ugr, the Werewargs are considered to be the children of the Einherjar Vargyr, known for his metamorphic abilities. They are more right than they think. Werewargs are born when a descendant of Vargyr is bitten by a Warg and somehow survives. The influx of Warg DNA triggers latent abilities, but in the absence of control from their ancestors, this happens uncontrollably, whenever the warrior is stressed or injured. In battle, these transformations cascade downwards, their bodies reverting to their primordial form, healing them of all the wounds they have suffered, but taking a heavy toll on their metabolism, turning these creatures into the insatiable, implacable horrors the world has come to fear.

Fast, agile and ferocious, werewolves exert immense pressure on enemy formations right from the start of the game. They particularly target enemy light troops at a distance, as Werewargs' regeneration allows them to heal from any wounds sustained when approaching enemy lines.
