Lowen

5, 6, 7

**Lowen** also known as a **Werelion**, are a species of shape-shifters introduced during Season 6(Legacies). Like their lupin cousins, Lowen have the power to transform from an regular human appearance to a partially lion-like form that includes glowing eyes, pointed ears, claws and fangs, and a ridged brow.

## Physical Appearance

Upon transform, Lowen undergo a fairly significant change. Some male Lowen grow long hanging hair when they transform, while other males grow large bushy manes. Female Lowen have much less hair when they transform and slightly less pronounced features, though some females.

Only some Lowens has glowing eyes, some just their normal eyes in their partially form.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Enhanced Strength:** possess supernatural strength that makes them far stronger than immortals, Supernatural Hunters, and humans, almost as strong as a werewolf if they are under a full moon.
* **Enhanced Speed:** Lowen are much faster than various other human and supernatural beings such as supernatural hunters, immortals, and werewolves in human form.
* **Super Agility:** Lowen possess super-human agility, such that they can react quickly, jump very high, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion.
* **Super Senses:** Lowen have extremely keen senses of hearing, sight, smell, and taste that far exceed those of humans and werewolves. They can hear whispered conversations, even ones in far of buildings and on phones
* **Super Durability:** Lowen can take a great amount of physical damage without being slowed down.
* **Healing Factor:** Lowens possess superhuman regenerative abilities, meaning that if they are physically injured, their bodies will heal rapidly. Like vampires and werewolves, Lowens can heal from the most grievous of injuries, even in human form, albeit more slowly in comparison to vampires. However, unlike vampires, when a Lowens neck is broken, they stay dead.
* **Shapeshifting**: Lowen, as lion-like shifters, possess the power to shapeshift their features into that of the aforementioned species, including glowing eyes(some), fangs, claws, mutton chops, pointed ears, and ridged brows that are again similar to Werewolves but with noticeable differences. they have have gold or blue eyes like Beta or Omega-level Werewolves, they can also have red eyes like an alpha.
* **Full Moon:** A Lowens strength, speed, agility, and all their powers are enhanced to their peak during a full moon.

## Weaknesses

* **Wolfsbane:** When ingested, wolfsbane causes a lowen to become severely weak and feverish. Also, If a lowen's skin is exposed to wolfsbane, it will burn them.
* **Mortality:** In most situations, minor physical injuries such as gunshots, stab wounds, and broken bones will cause a lowen pain and slow them down until they heal. However, they still share many of the same weaknesses as non-supernatural beings and can perish from extreme trauma (e.g. suffocation, extreme blood loss, a broken neck, decapitation, fire, heart extraction, etc.). They can also die from old age.
* **Magic:** Lowens are susceptible to the powers of witchcraft. This is inclusive of mystical objects such as the Starling Necklace, Gilbert Device, and dark objects. Multiple spells have been performed by witches against Lowens to cause several effects against them, such as slowing down or speeding up a Lowens transformation during a full moon, telekinetically ripping a heart from a Lowens chest, or cursing a pack of Lowens to be trapped in their Lion form at all times except for a few short hours during the full moon when they return to their human forms.
