Wolfman

## Appearance and Physical Traits

Wolfmen can be monsters of any gender and as shapeshifters they have two forms. In their untransformed state they're "human" but they can keep their wolf nature "near the surface" giving their eyes an odd shine at some angles, hinting at the yellow eyes they have when transformed.

In their transformed state they are described as ape or cavemen like, covered in fur, with bulging muscles, teeth jutting out from a simian jaw, and sharp curved claws. They smell like dogs, and have underbites crammed full of their sharp teeth, with hair trigger tempers.

Unlike their werewolf "cousins" a human does have the chance to out run a wolfman if they stick to straight lines and sprint early on, wolfmen rely on natural terrain and manual dexterity to catch their prey, additionally their sense of smell isn't much stronger then a humans's.

## Socio-Cultural Characteristics

Wolfman and their werewolf "cousins" have some long standing feud between them that they refuse to explain to outsiders and with both claiming to be the original version of the monster.

Wolfmen tend to go into careers with the Police Department but due to sexism wolfwomen only get to be meter maids

When it comes to the humans they want to change they put notices in the paper right down to the physical requirements of the recruits they're seeking.

Wolfmen have clothing made with special fabric to accommodate for the extra twenty pounds or so of muscle they take on when they shift.

During the full moon wolfmen (and werewolves) go crazy and attack everyone causing humans and monsters to stay indoors while never facing consequences due to being cops.

The restaurant called The Moors is a noted cop hangout for the Los Angeles Police Department that caters to the wolfman's carnivorous appetites.
