FENRIS’ WAR-AVATAR

Few spirits — short of Incarnae themselves — are as frightening and dangerous as the war-avatar of Great Fenris. The avatar of Fenris Wolf appears as an enormous wolf, 10 feet tall at the shoulder. His eyes burn with rage and his jaws drip with the blood of countless enemies. His coat is a deep gray that seems to shimmer from black to red and even to white as the light shifts across it. The war-avatar of Fenris is not as powerful as the Incarna himself would be, but it still defies the usual limitations of spirits, and has Traits even more powerful than Nexus Crawlers.
