Druids

A **Druid** is an emissary to a werewolf pack. Druid means "Wise Oak" in Gaelic languages. This connection formed in ancient Greece after King Lycaon and his sons were turned into wolves by the god Zeus. The Druids had shape-shifting abilities and, while they could not undo the curse, they taught Lycaon how to shift back and forth between human and wolf. A dark Druid is called a Darach, a Darach means "Dark Oak" in Gaelic.
