Balverine

Balverines are normal wolves corrupted by powerful demons. The demons inside them change their physical appearance gradually; the oldest balverines even look humanoid. They are found throughout sylvan areas in Edvensfall, especially the Forest of Kor and the Bough of Shadows, both of which contain Aeina holy springs, fonts of magical energy.

Balverines, once possessed, remain possessed until death. They are difficult to kill, and some have been known to use magical attacks as well as phsyical force against opponents. They hunt actively only at night, though the wayward traveler may occasionally encounter a balverine in broad daylight, when they are less aggressive.
