Jotaro Kujo Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'd prefer to see a Manticore before a wolf or vampire, personally. That said, there's a greater chance of getting a lycan. I'd just like to see something new since we already had wolf Laguz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchestArcher Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Only one i know of is the she-wolf who raised Romulus and Remus but she had no known name I believe her name was Lupa. Lupa also refers to an Italian statue of a wolf I think. So a female wolf-shapeshifter named Lupa would make sense too. But I still think Romulus or Remus would sound cooler.

Irony Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Well Elephants were used by the Nanman tribe in China in the Three Kingdoms period! ...But thats not western :P. I was kidding. ;p But in all seriousness, Elephant Laguz/Shapeshifters would be epic. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hell, give 'em a gorilla, we ain't had one of those. If we did have gorilla shapeshifters, would they still transform looking at the full moon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidellCrimea Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 It's not the hero Nohr needs right now. It's the hero Nohr deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nébulya Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Vampire for Nohr would be..amazing! If I were to choose between Werewolves or Vampire, I'd chose the second :D Nohr is already the dark country, and if I remember, the monsters were vampire or what, a thing like that, don't remember. But I think it would fit better ; but that's just my opinion :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoirCore Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'm going to guess wolf. It seems like a good idea for a counterpart to a fox-like character, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banyanas Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'd rather appreciate a feline such as a lynx, perhaps a mountain lion (which aren't actually native to Europe: the largest wild European cat is the lynx), to juxtapose the canine shifter of Hoshido.

IfAwakened Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I would like Nohr to have a tanuki, or wolf, or bat, or anything that looks as epic as a fox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eveangaline Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'd think of a werewolf, but there must be more roman/greek myths with shapeshifters.. Can't really think of any arthurian ones that weren't shifting into other people (or done by fairies or giants, which I don't see happening) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordopolica Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Werewolves and Vampires fit but I think the whole Kamui being able to change into a dragon thing already cancels out any other options. There were only two options in Awakening as well and that was Manakete and Taguel, so Kitsune and Dragon/Manakete in this one, plus I think Dragons represent European folklore well enough. But there are only two if you are playing Hoshido. On the Nohr side, given that Nishiki is Hoshido-exclusive, there is therefore only one shapeshifting variant. The fox-shifting really doesn't fit thematically with Nohr, and unless there is another who can defect to Nohr, at this point it's unlikely for them only giving Nohr one shifter where Hoshido gets two, especially since so far we have classes that mirror each other on both sides (thief vs. bowman, fighter vs oni, etc.) Unless, and this is very possible, there is a Suzukaze situation where Nohr is given access to a Hoshido class because he can defect. In which case, maybe a female Kitsune? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five5 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Something mythological that debuffs the opponent or has stones that transforms them into fire emblem monsters. If it is a bat his look would take inspiration from Gerome Edited June 4, 2015 by Five5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FEfan12 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 A bear shapeshifter would be the perfect counterpart to the kitsune. The kitsune is most likely fast but fragile and the bear could be slow but sturdy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Geargia Gateway Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 bear could be slow but - BEARS CAN RUN UP 60KMPH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yari Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 BEARS CAN RUN UP 60KMPH!Still a fox is faster. Or at least more nimble. A bear can be fast but it's shape is not very aerodymanic I mean a bear has a significant girth wich makes running more tiresome for them. A fox however has a cylinder shaped body and a cone shaped nose wich is way more aerodynamic. What I mean is yes bears are fast but can't handle the pressure of long races while a fox can. Beaars are fast and take the prey down in a hit if not they might lose a meal while foxes run after the prey until they're tired and then attack.So a bear should have all around good stats with attack being the stronger and resistance the lower. But that's just my opinion. On another note I think a selkie would be better to have has a shapeshifter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlvvR3XKUxI Too OP. I read that a bear can outrun a human on any terrain, rough, flat, wet or cold. GG Hoshido. Actually bears would be pretty cool, plz add IS Edited June 8, 2015 by Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Geargia Gateway Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I agree. Wolf or Bear. But imagine dem fwuffy bear ears on the character. OH! but male or female character? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 The thing is, the Kitsune has a very mythological, mystic element to it that I think that just some guy who can turn into a bear wouldn't have. I don't think there is much on bears in European mythology, or at least, when compared to wolves (werewolves, lycanthropes, Fenrir, etc.) there isn't much to go with. So I would doubt bears would make it, unless there's some magical bear legend I don't know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yari Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I continue to say selkie would be better I mean seals that would something never seen! Unless there's some game with a playable character that can turn into a seal I don't know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I don't see how a seal would help out in battle much, she'd be like the Aquaman of the Fire Emblem League. I could see a selkie appear in a more traditional, wacky JRPG, but in an SRPG where the armies are militarized, I don't see how a seal would help. Cue bad Navy Seal joke, har har, there saved you the trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yari Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 What about a bull? Like a minotaur type of shapshifter! I think it would contrast well: the huge brawny bull and the elegant nimble fox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tackman Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 What about someone who transforms into a GIANT SPIDER! Arachne is a Greco-Roman myth after all. Something like a drider would also be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
