Werewolf

A devil comes in many shapes to claim it victims

The beasts of the full moon that kill to satisfy their blood lust and their host unaware of what is happening to them. The werewolf can be traced back through thousands of years since the time of the Elves. Starting with the a creature simply known as The Beast , a massive wolf like creature that caused pain and misery where ever it went. It has been said to be created by Forsaken god Vulga'dume to bring about a reign of terror in the coming nights. Its bite alone was the cause of the curse that werewolves that walk the earth to this day known as Lycanthropy. Even after the the Beast was defeated by the goddess Lera, the werewolves still carry his curse. They were soon all hunted down with very few of them left in the world.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Werewolves can be bipedal or be on all fours. They look entirely humanoid, except all the features are that of a very large wolf.

Biological Traits

A werewolf will change to fit the cursed's body structure. They are also weak to silver and fire. Decapitating the head from the body will kill it. Wolfsbane is also said to have a toxic effect on them as well.

Genetics and Reproduction

Werewolves can reproduce in their beast form but can lead to deadly consequences since the beast is in complete control and will force itself on a potential mate. With can lead to the a half-breed species known as a Wolver to be created.

Growth Rate & Stages

When the full moon is near, a werewolf takes a few minutes to transform. But the transformation is painful, and the host will suffer from memory loss as the beast takes over with nothing more than pure instinct in control.

Ecology and Habitats

Midnight by Maria

Werewolves can be discovered anywhere and always be around near the coming of the full moon. Only to turn back into a original form once the sun rises and the moon sets.

Dietary Needs and Habits

They are carnivorous by nature and will hunt anything that crosses their path. They will either hunt alone or hunt in packs with other werewolves. Nothing seemed to phase them when hunting, as they would attack anything, no matter how dangerous.

Biological Cycle

The werewolf only transforms near the moon's fullest night. The beast will not come out until that time again. Unless magic or any other foreign element is in play, such as the The Long Night which is a infamous time for most supernatural creatures. The curse also slows down the aging process and extends the lifespan of the host. The curse also adapts to the environment it is in such as thicker fur in winter conditions or less fur in humid coditions.

Behaviour

Werewolves are naturally highly aggressive and will attack anything on sight, whether hungry or not. Often mutilating the bodies and leaving them where they are killed.

Biology

Werewolf Biology and Behavior by Christoper Stoll

The werewolf is the most recorded and documented beast in history. This has allowed those who hunt them to be more familiar with them. It also has allowed people to understand them and their nature better.

Feral Rivalries

La bagarre

Like wolves, werewolves are incredibly territorial when facing werewolves when they are not a part of a pack. Often fighting one another over their hunting grounds. These fights are highly lethal at times as their desire for survival is far greater than self-preservation as neither one wishes to share.

Deadly Hunters

Caught your scent by Jesse Cutler

Werewolves are infamous pack hunters as they can coordinate successfully with one another. Their heightened intelligence and their bodies allow them more capable of hunting than most other species.

Hunter or Hunted

Werewolf-Hunt by Finstarr

Werewolves are considered a significant threat anywhere they go, and many hunts have been declared on them. But hunting these beasts is not simple, as many have perished by their claws and fangs. But they ended up dead sooner or later, and monster hunters such as the Black Order have made sure of this.
