Sorry to disagree with you Paulo but why do you assume that Cursed Telmor= i
asuming wolf form go beserk? I would say that they become very wolf like= ,
and thus become one of the most socialable animals in existance, where al= l
members of the pack take care of the young, defend each other and coopera= te
in coordinated hunting. (Not very beserker like!) They most certainly d= o
not kill their offspring or siblings. Even male wolves disputing mating rights very rarely inflict serious injury, let alone kill each other. I'm not suggesting that Cured Ones in wolf form are peacful cute furry things that you would want to cuddle, but likewise they are not frothing = at
the mouth loonies (sorry about the pun). Instead they will probably just=

hunt and kill you very efficiently.
The only wolves to act in the way you suggest are those with rabies, an affliction which IMO differs significantly to the Curse.

One interesting, and amusing in a purile way, though is about how like wolves are telmori when in human form. In the RW the male wolf's penis swells when copulating to a level where in cannot be remove from the fema= le
for about half an hour after copulation. This is to give his sperm a hea= d
start before the female can mate with another male wolf.

Nick - the origin of the term Wolf's Head is the fact that outlaws had a bounty on their head, as did every wolf (one shilling if I remember my history correctly, a lot of money in the 12th century). This was one reason why wolves became extinct in the British Isles.

Panu - if you are going to quote from The Doors please get it right, the line is "Come on baby light my fire".
