Under what was a clear full moon night, earlier, you're now caught in a storm while walking back to home, having left Apotos, since you spent quite some time at Windmill Isle & now seeking shelter soon lest you get sick; the calm after the storm & quiet of the woods is eerie yet brings some peace. You're a bit comforted until you hear a howl in the distance. You think, "Aw, great. There's something or someone out here with me that's probably hunting", it can't get worse right? Quite the contrary, as you encounter a 16ft tall cyclops-like giant of unknown origin only minutes later as you briskly walked. They look...strange. In the moon's light you see their blackish blue skin, and glowing magenta body markings as it lunges to attack.

But before it manages to do so, a large blur of dark blue comes bounding out on all fours, knocking you down as it growls & yells, swinging its arms, slashing the monster to protect you and even stretching its arms for long-distance swipes. As you snap out of the shock & the figure stands, you finally realize...it's Sonic! Though is it? Something is clearly different about him as he no longer looks like a hedgehog, but more like a werewolf...rather, a werehog.

You hide in the shadows as turns on your direction, looking at him in full view. He seems to have grown larger in this new form, now with a broader torso, muscular arms & sharp claws, looking down to face you with his fangs still slightly bared; his once peach skin is now a pale blue, his cerulean fur now a lush, heavy, dark blue coat all over & white fur on his wrists, the end of his quills, and his chest. But, despite his beastly look, the care, friendliness & concern still remains behind his emerald green eyes as he holds out a large hand. "You alright?", he says in a now slightly deeper & growly voice
