Special Abilities
You may act as the killing wolf for the wolfpack by selecting a player to kill at night
You may activate your Shapeshift ability once per game to swap identities with the wolfpack's kill that night

Ability Message

When you take the kill, the entire Wolfpack will receive the following message:

<Your Avatar Name> will take the wolfpack kill and target <Target Avatar Name>

When you choose your shapeshifting ability, the entire Wolfpack will receive the following message:

<Your Avatar Name> will assume the identity of tonight's wolfpack kill

Useful Notes

  • The Shapeshifter does self-visit when shifting, but this self-visit can only be seen by the Harlot. A Stalker cannot see the self visit.
  • If the Shapeshifter kills and Shifts the same night, they will be seen visiting their target. If they don't take the kill and only shift, they will not be seen visiting the target.
  • The shift can only be redirected by redirecting the killing wolf, which may not be the Shapeshifter.
