Tribebook: Naghaluu

The Legacy of the Dire Wolf Changing Breed

Credits Suggested Resources

A Weaponized Ink Project

Author’s Introduction: This is the second ‘Tribebook’ by Andy and Chris (after Tribebook: Khara). This is
still called “Tribebook” mostly for product recognition and consistency, though as you will read the Naghaluu
were not quite Garou. The Naghaluu are a completely new changing breed, based on real world dire wolves
(Canis Dirus) that we worked to integrate as seamlessly as possible into existing WtA canon.
The Naghaluu are an entirely new shapeshifter/Fera for you to play. Everything needed to explore this lost
shifter is within these pages. If you are interested in character options steeped in the history of the world and
Werewolf’s spiritual history, look no further!
If you would like to explore more of Werewolf’s prehistory, we suggest checking out our other work,
Tribebook: Khara. If you like this book, keep your eyes open for more of Weaponized Ink’s work. Also,
consider leaving a review for this or any of our books - we would greatly appreciate it.

We hope you enjoy!
