They have three forms. They switch when you select "change shape" out of battle or when you script them to change shape in battle. In order, Skratti->Jotun Werewolf->Jotun Wolf->Skratti.

I've never seen one change in battle without it being scripted.

The problem is that if you script them to change from Skratti to Jotun Werewolf in battle, they will change to a Wolf after the battle, losing most of their gear.

So I just change the thugs to Werewolves before battle and send them in that way, scripted to buff and attack.
