Mongrel

David Woods is a man cursed with lycanthropy after a fateful trip to Egypt. He now travels the world trying to find a cure.

Egyptian Vacation
On a vacation in Egypt, David Woods was separated from his desert tour group when a sandstorm appeared. When the storm settled, David found a cave in the sands to take shelter in. He wandered the cave and discovered a chamber filled with artifacts including a sarcophagus. Upon approaching the ancient resting place, David was overwhelmed with dark mystical energy and blacked out. When he woke up he found himself in a hospital.

Curse of Amasis
His life continued as normal, but David could feel something had changed inside him. A month after returning from Egypt David was driving home from work one night when a truck sideswiped his car, sending him off into the nearby woods. As David was launched from his vehicle, he began to change, transforming into a wild beast. He landed on his now paws and began to run. He ran for hours, until sunrise.

Lycanthropy
Cursed by the forgotten Egyptian lord Amasis, David transforms into a wolf during moments of great stress. In this form he possesses great strength and speed, along with heightened senses.
