The ability to change form was a gift to the Forsaken from Luna herself, and assuming the five forms comes as naturally to werewolves as breathing. There are nuances to the art, however, that can be mastered only with experience and instruction. This is an open Gift list; any werewolf character can possess Mother Luna’s Gifts as if they had auspice or tribal affinity with them. Werewolves most often learn Mother Luna’s Gifts from the Lunar Choirs, but they can be taught by various spirits associated with trickery, such as coyote- or monkey-spirits.
Partial Change (•)
This subtle Gift allows a werewolf to transform only the parts of himself that he needs in order to complete a task at hand. For example, a werewolf in Hishu form might transform only his nose in order to track someone through the city streets by scent, without drawing the attention to himself that transforming into Urhan would attract. Conversely, a werewolf in Urhan form might transform his eyes to human to gain sharper color vision.
Anybeast (••)
The boundary between spirit and flesh is no less threatened in portions of the land where wolves don’t roam. This Gift allows a werewolf to temporarily camouflage itself in the skin of another carnivorous beast. Urhan form might come to resemble a hyena, while a werewolf might use the skin of a grizzly bear to disguise his Urshul form.
Silver Jaws (•••)
The Lunes, particularly those of the Elunim choir, can teach a werewolf to become his own nightmare. Use of this Gift transforms the werewolf’s teeth and claws into an array of terrible silver weaponry. Use of this Gift is a clear sin against Harmony, which has led may werewolves to wonder precisely why it is that Elunim are willing to lead Uratha astray in such a fashion. Is it some sort of test or simply the caprice of Mother Luna at work?
Skin-Stealing (••••)
Old human legends describe werewolves as creatures that learned the art of shapeshifting by dressing in the skins of wolves. This Gift lends some credence to those stories, for the werewolf who has learned its secret can garb himself in the skin of almost any human whose blood he has tasted. The disguise created is almost perfect
Primal Form (•••••)
The werewolf who learns this Gift goes beyond the already terrifying power and savagery of the children of Luna and becomes something truly monstrous. This Gift calls on the power of a time when Luna looked down upon Pangaea, transforming the user into a creature that’s one part prehistoric beast and one part pure nightmare. Werewolves among the Forsaken use this Gift only in times of dire need, because they fear it will drive them to acts of violence unspeakable even to them, and because the form has another, more sinister reputation. The greatest among the Pure Tribes known as the Predator Kings have long learned this Gift for a very specific purpose — to them, Primal Form is meant specifically for hunting the Forsaken.
