Karuka was raised by bear-wolves. Err, druids, who couldn't make up their minds about which form to take. So she followed suit. Although she spent most of her teenage years pretending to be a bear, she has since wisely taken on the ways of the wolf. She's still far bulkier and more resilient than your average wolf, but perhaps a little less deadly. She can withstand nearly any beating, but has a weakness for being commanded. Stupid will saves. In her epic levels, Karuka found religion and has been a divinely divine crusader. She likes feeling even more nearly immortal than usual. Also, it's fun to pretend she can actually hurt things.
