Werewolf

Werewolfs are incredibly effective hunters. They live in the Deep forest and create packs. When they are in human forms nobody wouldn't recognize it's a curse. They trying to live normaly but whe the Dark come everybody in a pack transform to the deadliest beasts this world knows. This is the reason they don't live with other humans and create packs deep in a forest where no man can be hurt. But like everywhere else, there are exceptions of course. Werewolf can live more than ordinary man but they grow old the same way. Werewolves are only in much better condition even when they exceed hundreds years. Werewolf are able to breed offsprings who have the same curse like their parents. There are some stories how to become werewolf like to get scratched by them but it is not verified due to the last person who claimed he had been scratched and bitten by werewolf, died hundreds years ago and thus it's more like a myth rather than true fact. Even it werewolfs are protected by the law, nobody seem them close to any town and they slowly disappeared from people's minds. But are they really so far?

Basic Information

Anatomy

Most of the time werevolfs resemble humans who they were before they've been infected (any other spieces can not become a werewolf - only humans can survive the infection). One day a month when moon is full and clear visible on the night sky they are changing into wild humanoid wolf with muscles double increased, furs all on their body and mighty claws ready to rip their victims.

Additional Information

Social Structure

Werewolves live together in villages behind the walls and Wide river. They have alfa male and famale who lead the whole village (in human form it's usually the oldest, in werewolf form for hunting it's the strongest)

Geographic Origin and Distribution

Forest

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Werewolves have incredibly increased senses (in Human form the sences are a little bit better than average population).  Especially senses of smell and hearing which they use to hunt their prey.  They can also naturally adjust their eyes for night vision because they hunt only at night. They can see tracks with ease and instinctively know how fresh the tracks are and its speed.
