Skully: Wolf Form

Lycanthropy makes Skully one of the most interesting characters to use. Since Skully levels slightly faster than other characters, it's possible to 'power level' one form to have an exclusive wolf or normal build. Both forms have their own tech skills.

Changing between the two forms uses up mana, but every time you make the switch, you recover some health. The wolf form has more HP, agility, and base attack damage than Skully, but has less MP and defense. The wolf form is also unable to cast spells, but it gets new abilities of its own. The wolf form gains a special resistance technique depending on what Skully's first element is. For example, if Skully leveled Earth, the wolf would have a skill called 'Jade Fur' that increases Earth resistance for the battle. The wolf can also use skills like Rend Flesh (big damage and causes disable) and Carnivorous (recover health from attack), among others. Late in the game, Skully becomes quite adept with dark magic.

At the start of most battles, Skully is in her normal form. Even if you end the battle in wolf form, she will usually revert to her normal self. At times when you are exploring the map, Skully may change forms to swim or jump past obstacles. She doesn't like using her wolf form in town for fear of random werewolf slayers hunting her for no reason. Slayers are bad news to Skully because they usually pack silver weapons which do triple damage to shapeshifters (ouch).
