Werewolves

Notes on werewolves

There are three types of werewolf. The first is a person who was infected with lycanthropy. These unfortunates are tortured by the effects of lycanthropy until they go mad. The second type are people born lycanthropes also called innate werewolves. These people have a support system and view their lycanthropy as a blessing. Innate werewolves hunt, fight, and patrol in groups and are very effective when doing so. Natural born lycanthropes view infected lycanthropes as too dangerous to live and will kill them. On occasion they may try to rehabilitate an infected lycanthrope to get them to cope with their condition though that is quite rare. The third type is a person who can transform into a were creature or it’s base type through magic. These individuals are in control of themselves and while not considered lycanthropes by other lycanthropes, outsiders do so they are included in this list.
