Lore & Background
When night falls, the wearer transforms into a feral Werewolf, claws sharpening against the dark with a hunger for combat. Yet beneath the waves, they become a Merfolk, gliding through currents with supernatural ease, breathing freely where others would drown. It is an item that defies singular existence, offering a symphony of buffs that elevate both offense and defense, allowing the hero to fight with the fury of the moon and the endurance of the stars.
In Their Own Story
You leaped into the water without hesitation, expecting to struggle against the pressure, but instead, your form shifted again. Scales shimmered under the surface as gills opened along your neck, and you became one with the deep. Swimming through the dark trenches with effortless grace, you felt the dual blessings of shell and stone reinforce your resolve. You were neither fully beast nor fish, but something greater—a guardian blessed by both celestial bodies, ready to face any threat from land or sea.
Reader's Guide
For maximum effectiveness, wear the shell to gain its full stat benefits while enjoying the Werewolf transformation at night. Remember that hiding the accessory in a vanity slot changes your appearance but removes all combat bonuses. Use armor dyes in the armor slots to color the transformed forms, as standard helmet or body dyes will not affect the Werewolf or Merfolk appearances.
