The Shadow Lords are noted for their
dignified and regal bearing. They are tall, muscular, and they exude a tangible
aura of power. They can be of any racial stock, for the Shadow Lords have bred
with the best and brightest of all races.
Glabro:
Shadow Lords are intimidating even in
their Homid form, but their Glabro form is truly a sight to dread. The already well-developed
muscles of the Shadow Lord grow to titanic proportions, claws and fangs grow,
and their face becomes a beetle-browed grimace. Shadow Lords in this form have been
known to bash down walls, shatter doors, and wade through seas of Fomori to reach
a foe.
Crinos:
The Crinos form is not one for persuasion.
Heady with power and protected by the Delirium, the Crinos is a terror on the battlefield.
The Crinos form of a Shadow Lord is ten feet of furry Rage. The huge muscles of
this form make those of the Glabro appear feeble. Claws and fangs are pronounced,
and the head becomes that of a snarling canine. In this form, the stocky, black-furred
Shadow Lords look somewhat like a cross between a man and a giant pit bull.
Hispo:
The Hispo form is in many ways reminiscent of the
dire wolf of prehistoric times. Though the Crinos form is favored over this one
as the ideal form for battle, many Shadow Lords have been known to crush skulls,
shatter ribs, and eviscerate foes with a single bite using the huge head and
jaws of the Hispo form. This form's senses are more attuned than those of
any other form save the Lupus. Human speech is all but impossible in this
form. In this form, the Shadow Lords' thick, stocky appearance is obvious and
unmistakable.
Lupus:
The fine senses of the Lupus form are
unmatched by any other of the Garou shapes. In this shape, a Garou inherits the
long distance running abilities of the wolf, and can travel truly amazing distances
that way. Garou have been known to run for days in this form without stopping.
Shadow Lords in this form resemble huge stocky pit bulls, bearing the well-known
midnight-black fur of the Shadow Lords.
