Werewolf

**Werewolves** are large and ferocious supernatural beings that protect the forest from intruders.

## Description

### Anatomy

While appear as mortals, werewolves have wolf-like features and the ability to transform into a powerful beast. In their mortal disguise, werewolves look like regular people. They have the same physical features as any other human, aside from their bright red eyes and sharp fangs, which are usually covered up or hidden. Werewolves are able to reproduce with mortals, and the offspring will inherit the werewolf's gene, meaning that their child will also have the ability to transform into a werewolf.

### Dietary Needs and Habits

Werewolves have a unique diet and eating habits. They typically eat raw meat, and they require a large amount of food to sustain them in their beastly form. Moreover, their diets often consist of animal blood and organs, as well as other sources of meat.

### Behaviour

Werewolves are usually portrayed as savage, aggressive and dangerous creatures. They are often viewed as unpredictable and hard to control, and their behavior is often driven by instinct and emotion. In terms of psychology, werewolves are often portrayed as having strong loyalty to their pack, along with a deep connection to nature and their primal animalistic nature.

## Powers & Abilities

Werewolves are demihumans who are granted superhuman abilities by their lycanthropy. Werewolves' powers and abilities are enhanced and are at their peak during the time under a full moon. When angered, these abilities are temporarily enhanced; these abilities are common to all three types of werewolves.  Even in mortal form, they appear to possess all of these abilities, though not as powerful as other supernatural creatures. Some werewolves have shown the ability to sense illness and, in one case, the onset of an epileptic seizure. This seems to be due to a combination of their "heightened senses" working in concert on a subconscious level.

* **Superhuman Strength** - The werewolf possesses superhuman strength. Their more wolf-like form, during a full moon, is more powerful and they are capable of lifting at least over 150 tons, enabling them to lift and throw a semi-truck a few blocks away. Their strength also extends into the muscles of their legs, allowing them to leap, from a crouch, roughly 18 feet into the air.
* **Superhuman Speed** - Werewolves can run and move faster than any non-supernatural creature and run at an extremely high speed, which causes them to become almost invisible to the naked eye to perceive their movements when they are sprinting or moving at full speed.
* **Superhuman Stamina** - The werewolf's musculature produces fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human, granting him superhuman levels of stamina. They can exert themselves at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue begins to impair them.
* **Superhuman Agility** - A werewolf's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete. They can move, jump, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion.
* **Superhuman Durability** - A werewolf's body is physically tougher and more resistant to injury than the body of a normal human. They cannot be harmed by conventional weapons, as ordinary firearms and blades seem to do little more than annoy the beast. Only a silver bullet or blade can harm or kill a werewolf.
* **Superhuman Senses** - The werewolf has superhumanly the acute senses of sight, smell, and hearing similar to those of an actual wolf. They can see part of the infrared spectrum and thus detect the heat signatures of objects or people in total darkness. They can smell other living creatures within 100 feet (when upwind) and follow a scent over nearly any terrain. They can hear the sound of a heartbeat in a cave at a distance of 30 feet.
* **Lie Detection** - Werewolves are able to sense if you're lying or not.
* **Claws and Teeth** - The werewolf's claws and teeth are extremely sharp and tough, enabling them to rend through a variety of substances including fabric, wood, cinder block, and even some metals. Werewolves can also use their claws to crawl along walls at great speed in pursuit of prey. Their claws can also be used to absorb the power and life energy of other werewolves and other therianthropes.
* **Infectious Bite and scratch** - Werewolves can turn another person into a werewolf by biting or scratching them. Their venomous bite is fatal to a vampire. The bite wound will begin to appear infected and will hurt when touched. The infection will spread throughout the body, producing unbearable pain. The vampire will have uncontrollable hunger, and will eventually develop delusions, hallucinations, rabid rage, and dementia before finally dying. Plus if their claws go deep enough their scratch can be infectious as well.
* **Pain Transference** - Werewolves can absorb and alleviate pain from other people/creatures and can "heal" in some cases.
* **Memory Transference** - Werewolves can transfer (give or take) memories by inserting claws into the nape of an individual's neck. This ability can establish mind-to-mind communication and, with practice, allow for memory manipulation or erasure.
* **Telepathy** - Werewolves are able to hear each others thoughts while in wolf form. Alpha's possessed a more advanced form of this mind transference, which is known as telepathy, the ability to read minds. They also manifest this through touch, instead of claws, they not only sense the emotions they can also hear their thoughts.
* **Healing Factor** - Werewolves is capable of regenerating damaged or destroyed areas of their body with much greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. Injuries that result in massive tissue damage such as bullet wounds, slashes, punctures, blunt force trauma, and severe burns heal completely, without so much as a scar, in a short amount of time. Their ability to heal is at least 10 times that of a human as they are also immune to the majority of human illnesses and conditions such as (colds, cancer, epilepsy, asthma, etc.) For this reason, they cannot get high on drugs or drunk on alcohol because the "high" is technically caused by the substance inflicting some kind of damage on the body, the Werewolf can heal this damage faster than the effects can be felt.
	+ **Longevity** - Because a werewolf's rapid cellular healing prevents them from contracting any human illness or condition and replaces aging cells at a constant rate, Werewolves have a tremendously extended lifespan. It is assumed the average life expectancy of a werewolf to potentially survive decades in their 100s so long as they are not injured or killed first.
