"That belt. The cause of many lives ended and ruined. The reason we deal with Lycanthropy and discrimination." -Geno Five-Scars, Shifter Monk.
The Pelt of the Inner Beast is an Artifact created by Zvervolk, The Spirit of the Beast. It takes the form of a belt of many furs and grants the wearer the ability to take any Lycanthropic form. It's use in history has resulted in the creation of Lycanthropy through attacks and infection, and the Shifters through other, more foul means.
