Werewolf Behemoths are werewolves who have a larger and more muscular frame compared to their average counterparts. This is often paired with greater abilities. While some of these behemoths appear to have come about naturally, in many cases they have been created by some form of augmentation. For example, Archivist Ernarde's alchemical work and experiments allowed him immediately transform an ordinary member of the Moon Hunter Pack into a behemoth during battle.
Known Werewolf BehemothsEdit
TransformationEdit
Stone Garden involves a mechanic whereby players can transform into Werewolf Behemoths using a Lycanthropotion. This effect lasts for several seconds and causes your character to become much more powerful. Infinite Archive also features this transformation when you have acquired all of the Werewolf Behemoth Visions and use the Bestial Transformation Verse, or when using a Mystery Transformation Verse. This effect lasts the entire Stage that it is activated in.
When transformed, your usual skill bars are locked while transformed and replaced by a unique set of skills: Vicious Bite, Rampage, Bonecrusher, Thunderous Stomp, Bestial Frenzy, and Lead The Pack. Your light attacks are now called "Swipe". Your heavy attacks are now called "Mutilate" and hits twice.
Ultimate AbilitiesEdit
These abilities must be activated manually, for a cost of Ultimate.
- Lead The Pack: Cost 500 Ultimate. Leap to the selected location and ferociously slam down, dealing 620031 Magic Damage and stunning all enemies within 10 meters. The gargantuan impact revives behemoth allies and sends out a feral energy ring that grants the Bestial Rage synergy. When activated, Bestial Rage generates 100 Ultimate, resets all cooldowns and provides 10 seconds of guaranteed critical strikes with all damage abilities.[verification needed — confirm figures]

Alchemy BuffsEdit
Throughout Stone Garden, you may discover three locked side rooms containing Alchemy Equipment guarded by a Bloodknight. You can enhance your Behemoth form for the duration of the dungeon by performing alchemical experiments at these tables, using the Gloomspore Agaric mushrooms that can be harvested throughout Stone Garden. A player with the Laboratory Use passive can improve on the mixtures and unlock more powerful buffs.
The first alchemical experiment table can be found behind an Intermediate-locked door. It is guarded by two Werewolves and a Bloodknight, the latter of whom can be harvested for Bloodknight Ichor. You can then activate the glowing equipment:
- <This table is set up to conduct some kind of alchemical experiment. It might be possible to reproduce the results with the right ingredients. A skilled alchemist might even be to improve upon it.>
- <Examine alchemy equipment.>
- <This table appears to be set up for an experiment involving gloomspore agaric and bloodknight ichor.>

The second alchemical experiment table can be found behind an Advanced-locked door. That is guarded by a Werewolf Packleader and a Bloodknight who can be harvested for a Bloodknight Organ. Examining the table will display the following:
- <This table appears to be set up for an experiment involving gloomspore agaric and a bloodknight organ.>
- <Combine three parts gloomspore agaric with one part blooodknight organ and consume the results.>

The last alchemical experiment table is behind a Master-locked door, and is again guarded by a Bloodknight who can be harvested for a Bloodknight Brain, as well as two Alchemized Chaurus. Examining the table will display the following:
- <This table appears to be set up for an experiment involving gloomspore agaric and a bloodknight brain.>
- <Combine three parts gloomspore agaric with one part bloodknight brain and consume the results.>
- Effect: Alchemized Resilience - Maximum Health increased by 2500 and reduces your damage taken by 3%

Attempting to activate the same equipment table again will display the following message:
- <Reproducing this experiment has already yielded great alchemical results for you.>
NotesEdit
- In some ways they can be compared to the Argonian Behemoths, which have a similarly enhanced body compared to normal Argonians.
