Eardwulf Harlowe

An unfortunate miscast of polymorph self—a spell higher than his ability to cast it—has left Eardwulf permanently and partially transformed. He is somewhat recognizable as an Elf, but also has physical characteristics of a black bear. Additionally, his normal speech is periodically interrupted by growls, groans, grumbles, and shrieks and he has recently started packing on weight in anticipation of winter hibernation. The Temple of Ursus has agreed to allow him the use of their vegetable shed for his nap, provided that he agrees not to snack on them prior to his sleep. In the interim, he is very embarrassed by his appearance and uses his spells to charm, hide, or divert attention away. He hopes his incantations aren’t randomly punctuated by bear talk. Who knows what might happen?
