<< WEREWOLVES >>

Other Name: Lycanthropes

Classification: Human

The History of the Werewolf:
There are too many mythologies based on the beginnings of werewolves, but it is considered a curse in the nameless city.

The most widely accepted tale of werewolf history is of the Greek tale of Lycaon, who willingly ate the flesh of another human being and was cursed by the Gods to turn into a wolf to portray his nature.

The Transformation
Only two things encourage the transformation of a werewolf into it's alter ego:

o Cycle of a full moon
o Threat of physical death

Should one of these events make itself present, the transformation cannot be denied.
 

NOTE: The transformation is never complete - the werewolf is a beast, a monster, not a true wolf but rather a person who has wolf features.
