Several animals lick their wounds and the wounds of others to promote healing. This is because their saliva contains both tissue factor, which promotes clotting, and the enzyme lysozyme, which breaks down potentially harmful bacteria in the wound. Charlotte, more in touch with her primal side than ever before, can now utilize this to force smaller wounds into better shape by licking them, and even force larger ones to clot completely so they don’t bleed out or get infected. Well, with anything else than a random form of lycanthropy, which is very transmittable via saliva.

NIckolai puts all of his willpower into that singular roar, as his vision goes red and he gets filled with rage fueled by, in no small amount the pain coursing through his body.
Following the first roar, another one resounds as if in response, directly behind the target of Nickolai's ire, as a giant semi transparent brown bear comes out of thin air, restraining the target.
