Weres
Weres are a genus of animalistic shapeshifters that can transform from human to specific animals. Each were-creature holds a curse in their blood that can be traced back to a sole individual or group that was cursed by a witch. Though there are different groups of weres, all weres have some similarities. One of those similarities is that they will always transform on the day of a full moon and will be unable to transform whatsoever on the day of a new moon. The only ones who are an exception to this are hybrids, though if they have two different were curses in them then they will still be afflicted by the curse (i.e. a child who is half werecat and half werewolf).
Werewolf: sometimes referred to as werecanine. These weres have the ability to shift from human to canine. That includes wolves, dogs, jackals, foxes, and coyotes. The breed and type of canine depends mostly on genes and lineage. The 'Pure' in werewolf society are any who can shift to werewolves.
Werecat: sometimes referred to as a werefeline. These weres have the ability to shift from human to feline. That includes domestic cats, tigers, panthers, leopards, lions, lynxes, cougars, bobcats, cheetahs, and ocelots. The breed and type of feline depends mostly on genes and lineage. The 'Chosen' in werecat society are any who can shift to tigers. There has been a steady increase of infighting between panthers and tigers.
Werebird: These weres have the ability to shift from human to a bird. That includes, but not limited to, eagles, owls, chickens, hawks, falcons, parrot, toucans, cranes, geese, etc. The breed and type of bird depends mostly on genes and lineage. Unlike many of the other were creatures, werebirds do not have a specific breed that they view as superior. This might be due to having the greatest range of breeds and types.
Werebear: These weres have the ability to shift from human to a bear. That includes, black, grizzly, polar, panda, sloth, sun, speckled. The breed and type of bear depends mostly on genes and lineage. Unlike many of the other were creatures, werebear culture is unique in that each species has their own characteristics that the culture look for. Typically werebear clans will include a variety of bear species.
Wereserpent: These weres have the ability to shift from human to different species of serpents. The species and type of snake depends mostly on genes and lineage. Wereserpents are usually loners who don't stick close to others of their kind. A number of tribe wars have taken place between the different species of serpents for dominance.
