When calm, Norse warrior Bjarki is a human guard and champion of King Hrolf.
But when angry Bjarki transforms into a massive and deadly Werebear Bodva Bjarki.
Before Bjarki's birth, his young and handsome warrior father Bjorn spurned the sexual advances of his stepmother, the witch Hvit. Hvit cursed Bjorn who became a bear at night. He was soon killed in his bear form and the curse passed on to the triples his pregnant wife Bera was carrying.
The first born, Elgfrooi, was born human from the waist up and an elk body from the waist down. The second born, Thorir had the feet of a hound. While Bjarki appeared normal.
His power of bear transformation did not reveal itself until time of stress and danger when he was a warrior champion.
While his human body rests in a deep trance (likened by many to hibernation) his "spirit" becomes "Bodva Bjarki the Werebear" who is free to destroy the enemies who have threatened Bjarki and those he is charged to protect.
You have been warned, avoid angering Bjarki or face the wrath of Bodva Bjarki!
Bodva Bjarki is another excellent casting from the Monolith game Ragnarok that I painted this month.
