Xuri Genus

The Xuri Genus (X.G.), or they are known to be the Xurian, are an artificial and ancient variant of werewolves. They are renowned for their extraordinary speed and unparalleled versatility in physical transformation, shifting between various forms: fully human, a hybrid with wolf-like traits, a traditional werewolf, or their ultimate form, the majestic and imposing Great Wolf. Their strength is profoundly influenced by lunar cycles, growing significantly under the light of either a full moon or a new moon. By nature, Xurians are carnivorous, embodying the primal creed: "To feast, and to stay alive." Adapted to cold environments, they have an extraordinary longevity in lifespan, with the oldest recorded Xurians being able to live between the 600s and the 800s years.
Xurians are uniquely suited to endure cold climates. Their thick, soft fur—often in shades of grey or white—acts as natural insulation against harsh winters and tundra conditions. While smaller in stature compared to their lycanthrope counterparts, they are stockier and more resilient. One of their distinctive habits is their love of ice baths, which they consider a rejuvenating ritual, immersing themselves in freezing waters to refresh their bodies. They believe themselves to be of Endara kin, the Xuri God, and consider themselves his divine creation. As they are the first followers of the Xuri God faith, they are to uphold their heritage, proclaiming themselves as being crafted from Endara’s hand. 
The Xurians hold a deep respect for hunting, viewing it as an essential and sacred act. They despise poaching, believing that a hunt must balance need and reverence for life. They possess an innate ability to empathize with animals, forming a unique connection that allows them to understand and commune with other creatures. With their heightened senses of hearing and smell make them exceptional hunters, capable of detecting prey or predators from great distances. The Xuri culture developed in harmony with their human counterparts who once shared their home in the forgotten mountains, rivers, and valleys. Over time, these Xuri Genus introduced them to the Wicked Xuri, a period of turmoil with the humans that eventually transitioned into the reformation of the faith under what they believe to be the formal guise Endara. This foundation of Xurians and humans has been forged from the tapestry of culture and harmony, solidifying the identity of the Xuri folk.
