“Úlfhéðnars gone bad, these Vikings were corrupted after imbibing in elixirs made from forbidden plants found in meadows. Their far fetching leaps are the bane of the unprepared. Luckily for the prepared, these ones are vulnerable to ice.
— In-game description
Brennaúlfur is a creature in Tribes of Midgard.
Norse Mythology[]
A werewolf, also known as a lycanthrope ("wolf-man"), is a mythological or folkloric human with the ability to shape shift into a wolf or an therianthropic hybrid wolf-like creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction (e.g. via a bite or scratch from another werewolf). This transformation is often associated with the appearance of the full moon. Early sources for belief in lycanthropy are Petronius and Gervase of Tilbury.
In addition to the natural characteristics inherent to both wolves and humans, werewolves are often attributed strength and speed far beyond those of wolves or men. The werewolf is generally held as a European character, although its lore spread through the world in later times. Shape-shifters similar to werewolves are common in tales from all over the world.
"Brennaúlfur" is Islandic and means "Werewolf".
