Cynanthrope

Name: Cynanthrope
Notes: The Cynanthrope, or Kynanthropes depending on dialect, species is an early off-shoot of the Earth Clan strain of Lycanthropes. Unlike members of the Earth Clan, Cynanthropes are lacking in the natural aggressive instincts required by the Earth Clan. This means they are unsuitable for service as the protectors of the Tepes family.
However, though continuing to evolve separately, Cynanthropes are capable of great feats of strength, speed, agility, regeneration, endurance, and resiliency. Though this is superior to that of normal Lycanthropes, is surpassed by that of modern Earth Clan strain members.
Modern Cynanthropes prove to be, provided you can get one to consider you as such, quite loyal friends. Though lacking the aggression and powers of those of the Earth Clan strain, they are capable fighters to their own degree and have shown themselves more than willing to use their abilities to defend their friends.
As Cynanthropes split from the Earth Clan strain after the introduction of their form shifting nanotech, the species carries a version that evolved with them. However, unlike that used by the Earth Clan strain, known Cynanthrope nanotech doesn't cause an ability to shift between two different forms, instead it combines traits of any non-Cynanthrope parent into the off-spring, though it seems to always keep certain Cynanthrope traits as dominant.
