Stormblood Tiger

Whereas most werecreatures follow the monthly rhythms of the full moon, the stormblood tiger's change is connected to the floods brought by annual rainfall. In parts of the world where flooding or heavy rains are both regular and predictable, such as during the Deluge in Belkzen, these lycanthropes stalk the land hunting for prey. Every night after the floods begin, a stormblood tiger is forced into its hybrid form until sun rises or the waters recede, usually 2–3 months later. The remainder of the year, stormblood tigers walk undetected among the population, often mistaken for hunters or scouts.

Because of the stormblood tiger's fearsome reputation and powerful abilities, some foolhardy orc warriors view becoming a stormblood tiger as a path to greatness—a blessing instead of a curse. In their minds, it's more important to have this power at hand during times of conflict than worry about disrupting peace during the Flood Truce. Wiser voices argue that too many stormblood tigers roaming about during the Flood Truce risks ending the accord altogether.
