Lore

A look into an Ultima's untamed eyes or a bite from an Ultima's exposed fangs will end up turning the victim into a werewolf. While a bite is known not to kill, the eyes are almost guaranteed to be fatal. Either way, unlike normal or forever potions that transform people into werewolves, the transformation by untamed eyes is extremely slow and painful. The bite itself is known to cause unbearable pain to the entire body once the fangs sink into the skin.

Aaron bit Aphmau's neck in the episode "Aaron's Choice", causing her to feel hell-like pain in an instant. In the next episode, the morning after the cutscene of the two, Aphmau was in pain all day because of the bite, yet not as much as the moment she was bit. She said that her body felt like it was on fire, her bones were breaking and reforming, her heart was racing uncomfortably fast, she was hot and cold at the same time, and that it hurt so bad she felt like she wanted to die.

The effects of sharing eye contact with an Ultima's untamed eyes are far worse. However, if one manages to survive, they will first collapse onto the ground and then scream in agony as their entire body has a seizure. The pain felt throughout the transformation is far worse than that from a bite as it requires medical attention and extreme pain killers for the body to barely stabilize itself. A normal or forever potion of strength can help increase the chances of living, but barely. This was the case with Garroth (5x34) in which Garroth heard Aaron say Ein's name and starts running to Aaron to stop him. As Garroth placed his hand on Aaron's shoulder, Aaron turned his head with his untamed Ultima eyes, looking at Garroth and causing him to faint, thus beginning the painful transformation.

Aaron's fangs

When an Ultima turns a werewolf into a human, the transformation is instant and seemingly painless, as seen with Aaron to Ein. In an instance where a human who was previously a werewolf is turned, the transformation back to a werewolf behaves much like it would if it was vice versa. The transformation is, at least when using an Ultima's untamed eyes, instant and appears to be painless. The werewolf who was previously turned human gains their original ears and tail back, as seen with Aaron turning Ein back into a werewolf during MyStreet Season 6.

It is also shown that Meif'wa's can safely make eye contact with untamed Ultima eyes. This was shown is various seasons, namely S6 Ep.4 where Kawaii~Chan looked into Aaron's untamed eyes as she tried to calm him down.

It seems that humans turned by eye contact with the untamed eyes of an Ultima Werewolf have a faster transformation than humans turned by bite. After the bite of an Ultima, the victim's werewolf ears and tail will take longer to fully develop. This is seen with Aphmau from the start of her transformation in MyStreet Season 5: Starlight until the end of the season, and in one scene in MyStreet Season 6: When Angels Fall. Garroth was accidentally turned into a werewolf by untamed eyes following Aphmau's intentional transformation by bite, but he is seen to have fully-grown ears and a curled tail (as of 6x01), and now has a fully-grown tail (as of 6x8.2).

An Ultima has five known forms, with or without red eyes. Like most werewolves, the Ultima can hide their ears and tail to match a human-like form, along with one with their ears and tail exposed. However, Ultimas can turn more wolf-like in appearance. The first Ultima had a form that resembled a classic lycanthrope. The most feral form of an Ultima resembles a giant wolf with no signs of human features or even the ability to talk. Their eyes are also always red in this form. Aaron and his grandfather went into that form under the interference of Michael via slaughtering their loved ones, so it is extremely unlikely for this level of aggression to happen naturally. Michael's interference also sparked hatred and fear of the Ultima in the public, as he allowed both Ultimas to go on a killing spree. Aaron was also saved by his dad, Derek, in season 5 and 6 many times as he knew what Aaron was facing.

The Origin of the Ultima

The Ultima started as a man. He loved his wife so much that he would do anything for her. They were happy together, until one fateful day, when she fell deathly ill. The man was crushed; he could not live without her, so he made a deal with a demon. The deal was on the day of the blood moon; the demon would bring her back, but his end of the deal was that he was to sacrifice a living creature. The man chose a wolf. The god of wolves found out about this. Furious, the Wolf God cursed the man to not walk as human nor wolf but as a monster, half-human and half-wolf. When he went home, he was chased out and from then on, walked alone. He was so lonely that he wandered back to the village. Then he realized his curse was not what he had become; it was the ability to turn people into half human and half wolf. Driven by loneliness, he turned the whole village. This was the first pack, and he was the leader: a monster controlling them with fear. Then from there, the first Ultima and werewolves themselves were born.

Known Ultimas:

• Aaron Lycan
• Derek Lycan
• Aaron's Grandfather
• Other Male Lycans

Facts

• Transformation by untamed eye contact seems to be faster than transforming by bite. This is apparent when Aphmau, who was turned by bite, still has tiny ears and a curled tail (as of 6x12), whereas Garroth, who was turned by untamed eyes and after Aphmau was bitten, had fully-grown ears and a curled tail (as of 6x01), and now has a fully-grown tail (as of 6x8.2).
• Both Aphmau and Garroth's ears and tail colors match their respective hair colors.
  • Aphmau's ears and tail are partially dyed purple.
• If a human who did not inherit werewolf traits has a biological parent who is a werewolf, their werewolf genes from their werewolf parent are dormant.
• It is implied that Garroth is the only person to ever survive being turned by an Ultima's untamed eyes.
