Hexenwulf

Similar to the Metahuman Convention, the Hexenwulf is a 'curse' that can be passed from person to person or through heredity. By means of this 'curse', the individual is able to shift their form from a human to that of a wolf. This does NOT make them Garou by any means. In essence they have only two forms: Human (homid) and wolf (Lupus).
While in wolf form they are just that: a wolf. They do not go into the Umbra, have no knowledge of Garou gifts or the spirit realm. They are, in essence, just an animal with some resemblance of human thought.
Their change is instantaneous rather than the long, laborious physiological change. Therefor they can shift from one form and back as a standard action. However, when they shift only their body is transformed. All clothing and personal possessions (unless it would fall off in the transformation) are left behind. Piercings (ears, etc.) will remain within reason.
Their ability to shift is not dictated by the cycle of the moon. Their ability to think with a human mind, however, is. As the moon grows more full, Hexenwulf-cursed people must be extra careful to fight the urge to shift as they will be reduced to nothing more than an animal for the duration of the night. They will forget, for a time, that they are human or that they can even shift back to their human form. By morning, once they have fallen asleep as a wolf, they will revert back to their human shape.
==Removing the Curse==
Removing the curse will involve either a Garou Theurge or a Mage with Spirit magic. In essence they must remove the curse on a spiritual level.
==Transferring the Curse==
You can't. Hexenwulf is a curse bestowed by a witch of some kind.
