Skin Wolf Werekin
Shredded flaps of skin, clinging to a vicious humanoid wolf-thing, are all that remains of these former champions.Werekin are former champions afflicted by feral mutations, whom the Gods deem not yet worthy to join them as immortals. Although feared by the local tribes where they dwell, they are not hated and indeed, they are respected. For the Northmen believe that even those cast down have been chosen, and it is better to be chosen than to live your whole life beyond the sight of the gods. Werekin are much larger and more distorted in body than the lesser Skin Wolves, living in caves deep within the frozen wastes. In times when they are not being brought to war by the raiding tribes, they feed on offerings from the locals, or otherwise devour unknowing passers-by who happen to carelessly dwell too near to their dens.

Abilities
- Ruinous Flesh
Werekin flesh is scored with the symbols and marks of the Dark Gods, granting additional arcane protection to their ravaged physical forms. - Deadly Onslaught
Such is the power and ferocity of the champion, that those who stand in his way will falter against the warrior's impact. - Foe-Seeker
There are those who wish nothing more than to be at the heart of battle, seeking foes to vanquish. - Frenzy
Some warriors care not for their own personal safety and so work themselves into a whirlwind of destruction and mindless violence! - Regeneration
There are beings and creatures that can mend bone and knit flesh at an incredible rate. A mighty boon, but one stunted by fire.

- Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close. - Immune to Psychology

Strengths & Weaknesses
- Frenzy
Units with leadership is high. - Regeneration
flaming attacks will cause more damage to units with Regeneration. - Anti-Large
Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants. - Damage Dealer
This unit has a strong emphasis on dealing damage. If fighting it, make sure to take it out before it can get into firing or melee range.
