Times Sonic werehogs

Scourge transforms into a stylish and irritating neon green werehog. His fur is similar to Sonic's, only wilder and full of irregular strands. His teeth are sharper than the others, giving him that "dangerous thug" look. His eyes turned lemon-yellow, and he has a new scar on his snout because he got into a fight with some poor soul minutes after turning around.

Silver transforms into a more slender, elegant, yet still monstrous werehog. Its fur turns metallic gray, almost shimmering in the light. Its claws are elongated and semi-translucent, like psychic crystals. His eyes turn a luminous cyan color, and his forehead gains small luminescent markings when he uses telekinesis. The posture is always somewhat tense, as if the body were absorbing too much energy.

Knuckles transforms into a walking tank. His torso becomes enormous, his arms gigantic, and his fur turns blood red. His gloves disappear, revealing natural claws that look like built-in brass knuckles. The dreadlocks grow longer and pointier, almost like thorns. His eyes turn a deep yellow, and he walks around with his chest puffed out like a pitbull with a diploma.

Amy transforms into a powerful werehog. Her fur turns dark pink, almost magenta. The muscles in her arms become more defined than Knuckles', and her nails become long claws, naturally painted in a red hue. Her eyes turn neon green, and her hair grows a little, falling out wildly. She has the presence of a "jealous girlfriend with superpowers".

Tails becomes a mix of cute and dangerous. His fur becomes thicker, streaked with burnt orange. His two tails grow enormously and become muscular, as if they were alive. His eyes turn a bright golden color. His mouth has sharp little teeth that look like they're made for tearing things apart, but he still has that "where's my lunch?" look on his face. He walks a little crooked because his tails pull him backward.

Shadow looks like a boutique demon. His fur turns a deep black, with red stripes that glow like fire. His claws are thinner and sharper than the others', like blades. His body becomes long and lean, but extremely muscular, with a predatory feline vibe. His eyes turn a deep red, almost glowing in the dark. He has an aura of "come closer and I'll rip your soul out."

Sonic gets that absurdly ripped body, thick arms, and legs more robust than a CrossFit gym. His blue fur darkens and becomes full of spiky, almost electric strands. His claws are long, curved, and shiny. His eyes remain green, but with a feral glint, like "I'm going to bite someone and I don't even understand why." His posture is hunched forward, with broad shoulders and a "I woke up like this and I'm pissed off" look on his face.

An ancient entity called Lunar Ferox, a kind of giant moon spirit that grew bored with its own existence, decided to meddle in other people's lives.

Details: this entity has exactly the same vibe as a teenager who discovers new powers and decides to use them to pull off cosmic-level trolling.

What happened:

1. Lunar Ferox awoke after a thousand years of slumber. The first thing he did was look at the Earth and say: "Wow, what a boring planet. Let's cause some trouble."

2. He unleashed the "Ferina Curse," a supernatural wave that descended from the moon like bad Wi-Fi, but instead of freezing videos, it freezes people's self-control.

3. The curse sought out souls with extreme energy. And who's full of energy and obsessed with saving the world? Sonic and his crazy pets.

4. The more power someone had, the stronger the mutation became. Result:

Sonic turned into a muscular werehog.

Shadow turned into a demon werehog, obviously.

Tails gained possessed tails.

Amy became strong enough to break a wall with a single slap.

Knuckles has become a public health problem.

Silver was left with unstable psychic powers, like "lifting a rock and accidentally hitting a friend."

Scourge turned into a green werehog with the same personality as always: awful.

5. And why the whole group at the same time? Because Lunar Ferox wanted to transform the most powerful beings into nocturnal monsters to play a cosmic reality show. Kind of like Big Brother, but with teeth and claws.

Summary:

They turned into werehogs because:

A lunar spirit got bored.

He cast a curse on the moon.

The energy dropped on the strongest characters.

Their powers reacted and turned into a bestial transformation.

Yes, it's literally the fault of a sad god with nothing better to do. Worse than some teachers who assign work at the end of the semester just for fun.
