Kith legends say that the battle madness of some rare heroes pleases Kornun to the extent that he fills them with the spirit of a beast. The warrior grows to enormous size and transforms into a half beast. The Druids teach that this is the Ulfhedinn--holy wolf-spirit--of Kornun. The Drunes believe that this is also a manifestation of the Wendigo.
This sacred transformation is extremely rare and considered by many to be only a myth, although nearly all berserkers aspire to earn the favor of Kornun and this holy shape, thereafter calling themselves Ulfhedinn. These warriors often wear the skins of wolves, or go into battle sky-clad to beseech Kornun to once again bring upon this transformation. If nothing else, this garb certainly makes them appear more fearsome, and some Ulfhedinn warbands have earned names for this practice, such as the Ulfhednar (wolf-coats), Ulfsarks (wolf-skins), Wargs, and Varg-Ulv.
