Shapechanger

Eliphas can use his action to polymorph into a Large bear-humanoid hybrid or into a Large bear, or back into his true form, which is humanoid. His statistics, other than his size and AC, are the same in each form. Any equipment he is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. He reverts to his true form if he dies.

Keen Smell

Eliphas has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
