Werewolf Mode



Werewolf Mode (웨어울프 모드) is a hidden feature present in the Direwolf Clone. While not listed in the standard manual, it can increase Direwolf's power several times over when activated.

Attributes
To prepare the Direwolf clone for Werewolf Mode, the piloting Biklonaut, Gio Oh in-series, flicks the pedal of the Action Bike, causing it to quickly spin. This action sets Direwolf in standby mode, indicated by Gio's visor and the Action Bike's wheels becoming white. While in standby, the Direwolf clone cannot move at all, which can be a problem if activated accidentally.

In this state, the Direwolf clone attempts to access Gio's mind. This was initially difficult as it required that Gio provided zero resistance, which could only be accomplished if he was sleeping or unconscious, though Loki later managed to fix the program so that this was no longer necessary.

Once Werewolf Mode is fully active, Gio becomes feral, much like an actual werewolf, as the Direwolf clone turns black and is covered in flames. Gio is unable to tell friend from foe and will move to fight anyone and anything in range, though he will turn his focus if something, like an attack of some sort, aggravates him.

Werewolf Gio proves to be very powerful, with the Direwolf clone's fireballs becoming even stronger and the fire surrounding the clone preventing anything from trying to latch onto it lest they feel its flames. He can also be quite violent, using the Direwolf clone's mouth to bite into enemies and tearing off their armor or skin. Lastly, Gio's focus in combat is also increased, which can be helpful in successfully pulling off Blood Moon.

Once he determines that there are no other enemies in range, Werewolf Gio will begin howling as a sign of victory, which can attract any Bulgasaris that are in hearing range. To prevent this, Loki can manually cut off the link between Gio and the Direwolf clone to shut down Werewolf Mode.
