I dislike the interpretation that the Telmori completely lose their minds every wildsday. They turn into Wolves who are still reasonably intelligent. If they were mindless destroyers, then places like Ralios and Sartar would be a wastelands or the Telmori would be exitinct (as their enemies would take advantage of their mindlessness).

Thus IMO, when the Telmori attack others while in their wolf-form, they *know* what they are doing. They are no more mindless than a Troll who attacks human settlements, although a troll is somewhat more intelligent. But this bothers them little because the people that they prey on, are the *enemy* and *deserving* of whatever the Telmori can mete out (from the Telmori point of view).

>Question : Do wolfbrothers detect as chaotic ?

No IMO.
