Known Powers:
Possession: The Warwolves have the Monstrous ability to kill their victims by touching them with their tongues. Anyone reduced to 0 Health in this manner is immediately killed, their bodies dissolving and leaving behind an empty skin. The Warwolves can somehow climb into this skin and masquerade as their victims. Climbing in or out of the disguises takes one full turn, and a character can spot something wrong about a disguised Warwolf if the character declares he is trying to do so and rolls a successful Reason or Intuition roll (player's choice) against an Incredible intensity disguise.
Psychic Immunity: Warwolves have an Unearthly Psi-screen due to their alien nature. They also have Remarkable resistance versus purely magical effects.
Tracking: Warwolves can psionically track their quarry with Amazing chances for success.
Claws: The Warwolves have claws which they use to subdue targets they do not wish to kill. They gain +1CS to strike when using their claws and do either Remarkable blunt damage or Excellent Edged damage.
Talents:
None
Contacts:
The Warwolves are agents of Mojo, although they would have a hard time gaining aid from him.
Role-Playing Notes:
Warwolves, usually hunting in packs of six creatures, take a great deal of joy in their pursuit of prey. They love to absorb the life force of as many incidental victims as possible, collecting the skins as some people collect a wardrobe. The Warwolves frequently bicker among themselves, but are more or less loyal to one another against outside forces.
History:
The Warwolves are agents of the extra-dimensional villain known as Mojo, a tyrant who runs his realm like a frantic melodrama. He employs Warwolves as minor trackers within his realm or as big guns elsewhere.
The first time the wolves appeared in the Marvel-Earth dimension was a time when they were pursuing Rachel Summers, Phoenix, who had fled Mojo's influence. The Warwolves were an excellent choice on Mojo's part due to their psionic immunity to Phoenix's powers. She could perhaps bring down a building on top of them, but nothing more direct.
Phoenix was, however, a member of Excalibur at this time, and her friends foiled the Warwolves' first attack. Shadowcat, a member of Excalibur, attempted to lure the Warwolves into a trap by disguising herself as Phoenix, assuming that her phasing powers would keep her safe. Instead, the Warwolves' alien natures interacted oddly with Kitty's powers. She was not safe against their powers, but in turn they had a difficult time consuming her life force. In short order, the Excalibur members had defeated the Warwolves and placed them in a zoo exhibit. It is believed that two of the Warwolves were killed in the combat. If not, then there may be some still at large.
