wolf's first shift was the most painful. Some wolves took hours to complete their first shift and then a
few more years before they could transform into their final form. Contrary to the way we were portrayed in movies, most werewolves could actually shift into two different forms. In the first and easier form, we appeared like normal wolves and walked on four legs, except we're about three times larger than your average wolf. In our final form, our pure werewolf form, we shifted to wolf appearance but walked upright on two legs.
We don't shift to our pure werewolf form often because it would be better for a human to accidentally see an overgrown wolf than a hairy wolf-like creature on two legs.

He snorted and shook his head.
