<sup>A partial transformation, Lincoln is only capable of summoning some attributes of his curse. This includes claws, pointed teeth and ears. In this form, Lincoln is most in control, though generally it's prompted by sudden mood swings such as fear or anger, it can also be prompted by baser appetites ranging from hunger to lust. Lincoln can call upon aspects of the wolf to aid him either in battle or in mundane utilities such as checking for spoiled milk.

► Claws, Fangs
► Enhanced Senses (Hearing, Smell, Taste)
► Increased Agility, Durability, Reflexes, Speed, Stamina & Strength</sup>

<sup>A fuller transformation, in this form Lincoln is fully embraced by his curse. The werewolf possesses strength and durability well above those of a human and while Lincoln is faster in this form than he is transformed, it still lacks in speed compared to his final form. A lightning bruiser, Link relies on his speed and strength to quickly and brutally take down foes. His durability is impressive, though easily cut through using any of his vulnerabilities. Notably, Lincoln loses the ability to communicate conventionally and is reduced to grunts, gestures and nods to convey his thoughts or opinions without the presence of a telepath.

The werewolf form is more prone to sudden mood shifts due to bloodlust and Lincoln can lose himself to the beast if left transformed for periods of extended time. As such, he generally leaves patroling to other more capable heroes and instead acts as a guy in the chair for the team.

<sup>The direwolf form looks more like a giant wolf than it does a werewolf and is the purest transformation that the curse provides. Lincoln fears being trapped in this form as his mind is weakest to the animal within. Though lacking thumbs and the dexterity of his other forms, the direwolf form is fastest and both large and strong enough to carry two human riders.

Like the werewolf form, Lincoln lacks the ability to communicate through speech in this form and must instead rely upon the interpretation of others.

► Claws, Ears, Fangs, Fur, Tail, etc.
► Compass Sense
► Enhanced Senses (Hearing, Smell, Taste)
► Enhanced Durability, Reflexes & Strength
► Further Enhanced Agility, Speed & Stamina
► Healing Factor
► Night Vision</sup>

^{The Wolf's need for blood is as much a strength as it is a weakness. While the bloodlust makes Lincoln an impressive combatant, it's also a surefire way to lose not only control but himself to the Wolf. In the event of this, Link is as much a threat to his friends as he is to his foes.}

^{Lunar Phases have a significant effect on Link's abilities. While a full moon can cause an uncontrollable transformation, especially under a Blood Moon or a Hunter's Moon, a New Moon can make the transformation nearly impossible to summon.}

^{Just like the legends say, Link is vulnerable to silver. It burns to the touch, easily cuts through his hide and if bound by it, prevents his transformations.}

^{The time it takes Link to transform leaves him vulnerable, in addition to the pain of the actual transformation. If already weakened or wounded, attempting to transform or being forced to could cause him to lapse into unconsciousness or worse. If left transformed, particularly at Stage II or III for too longer, Lincoln may have trouble reverting to a human form. There is the potential for the curse to become permanent if Lincoln loses control in a sustained state of transformation.}

^{Much like silver, aconite or Wolfsbane, can be fatal to Lincoln, especially if ingested. Weapons laced with traces of aconite whether, by an oil, poison or other solution can inflict grievous wounds upon Lincoln and easily bypass his defenses.}

^{While some stages of his transformations gain night vision, as a whole Link's vision does not improve and in fact in general gets worst. While it's a common myth that canines only see in black in white, this does not negate the fact that when transformed, Lincoln develops an exaggerated form of colorblindness that can make his teammates difficult to distinguish in certain settings, especially in well-lit locations or under sunlight.}
