Uratha also possess an instinctive understanding of the First Tongue, the language spoken by their ancestors and spirits. In this frenzied state the werewolf is a threat to everything, no matter whether friend or foe.
Also, every werewolf is in danger of entering a violent Death Rage (Kuruth in the First Tongue). Additionally, humans feel this aggression and are repelled by this feeling. Many have trouble containing their aggression, hindering their ability to live normal human lives. Uratha are fierce territorial predators who feel the compulsion to hunt. Unlike traditional fictional werewolves, Uratha may change at any time into various forms between man and wolf, though they do find this easier when the phase of the moon matches their Auspice. Following this Change, each character develops an Auspice, defined by what phase the moon was at during their First Change, and most join a Tribe or become a tribe-less werewolf known as a Ghost Wolf. It is only known that it almost never happens before puberty or after the age of 60. Any human who may unknowingly possess a werewolf heritage could undergo a First Change at some time in their life, though what triggers the change is unknown. In Werewolf: the Forsaken, players portray the Forsaken, werewolves, known as Uratha, who are sworn to a duty to maintain a balance and prevent ingress between the spirit worlds and the material world.
