The Wolfskin (Japanese: ガルー Garou) is a basic, Nohr-aligned class which was introduced in Fire Emblem Fates. It is a non-human shapeshifting class which uses beaststones to take the form of a bipedal wolf-like beast in battle.
Wolfskins promote to the Wolfssegner class, and their Hoshidan counterpart is the Kitsune. Enemy Wolfskins, along with their promoted form and their Hoshidan counterparts, are among the few playable classes whose generic enemy members are not capturable.
