For other uses, see Werewolf.

Werewolf is a world skill tree available in The Elder Scrolls Online.

Tutorial on how to become a Werewolf

There are two ways to become a werewolf in Online:

1. Receive a scratch from a specific NPC werewolf enemy that spawn in only one zone per alliance (Reaper's March for the Aldmeri Dominion, Bangkorai for the Daggerfall Covenant, and the Rift for the Ebonheart Pact.) These mobs will only spawn on nights with a full moon. Werewolf NPCs in other zones such as Glenumbra or Grahtwood will not provide the Sanies Lupinus disease.
2. Receive a bite from a player that is already a werewolf. This bite can only be given at a Werewolf Shrine, which is only located on the three zones mentioned above.

This will give the player the disease Sanies Lupinus. They will then be directed to an NPC (in Rawl'kha for the Dominion, Evermore for the Covenant, and Riften for the Pact), or at the Werewolf Shrine. They will then give the quest "Hircine's Gift." Completing it will provide the player the werewolf skill line.

Werewolf skills

Skills in the werewolf skill line work together, allowing players to take advantage of interactions that amplify the thrill of the hunt, making them more efficient killers and even extending their blood frenzy. All of the skills put the player in the role of the hunter—always in control and right on the heels of their prey.
