Description and lore
A person shifts into a swift wolf form suited to a pack's pursuit. The changing silhouette retains the attention of a thinking hunter.
Tracks change shape beside carefully abandoned clothing. Farther along, other marks join the same route.
The wolf's watchful attention remains personal. A pack moves around the individual with the familiarity of companions who have traveled together before.
