Werewolves/Lycanthropes

Therianthropic Hybrid Wolflike Creatures

**Werewolves/Lycanthropes** have been featured in movies from 1913 to present day.

The process of transmogrification is portrayed in such films and works of literature to be painful. The resulting wolf is typically cunning but merciless, and prone to killing and eating people without compunction, regardless of the moral character of the person when human.

*Even a man who is pure of heart*

*And says his prayers by night*

*May become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms*

*And the autumn moon is bright.*

## Appearance

**Werewolves/Lycanthropes** appear in many ways on screen, mostly having to do with budget now that CGI is becoming common. The 'types' of werewolves vary from a canine (wolf) appearance to a full-on transmogrified monstrosity and everything in between. Some have features more common with canines while some have features nearly human.
Nearly all types of werewolves are covered in dense fur and sport sharp claws and canine teeth. Some have red eyes while others sport yellow eyes. Some have long pronounced muzzles while others are nearly human. Ear length and styles changes as well.
Some werewolves run on all fours as a quadruped and some walk upright as bipeds while others use a combination (usually determined by the design used but that is not a rule).

## Powers and Abilities

Werewolves/Lycanthropes exhibit a wide range of powers and abilities depending upon the style of design being used and whether a specific ability or power is required for the story. Some shamble along while others run at high speed. The heightened senses are fairly common but the degree of acuteness varies. Nearly all werewolves are depicted with very sharp claws and teeth. Their ability to track and capture prey is also very common.
Werewolves have acute sense of smell and superb eyesight. In fact, many have ramped up senses compared to other canines (like the wolves they are based upon) which give them advantage over the rest of the animal kingdom. They are full-on predators with voracious appetites and they tend to eat with gusto, leaving little meat behind. Victims are savagely torn apart and eaten.
Depending upon the design, some werewolves have tails while others do not. Some wear clothing, some do not. Wolf-men usually were depicted in clothing due to cinema morals of the times, modern werewolves often tear their clothes off when they change and wake naked when they revert back to human form.
There's also depiction of lycans which do not transmogrify yet remain human but with werewolf heightened senses and abilities. You can usually tell them apart by their shiny reflective eyes which might be red or yellow.
In werewolf form, they are extremely hard to kill because they can heal and regenerate themselves.

## Weaknesses

**Werewolves/Lycanthropes** are allergic to Aconitum aka aconite, monkshood, wolf's-bane, leopard's bane, mouse-bane, women's bane, devil's helmet, queen of poisons, or blue rocket. They can be killed with silver(burns them like acid). Some werewolves need a full Moon and will change back when that Moon "shine" is obscured. Others can change at will but lose control of this ability when there is a full Moon when they can't stop the change.
Some werewolves can be imprisoned with chains or locked doors, often 'controlled by locking themselves in a study prison cell. Others can't be contained and will break out of any confinement imposed on them.
While in human form most werewolves can be killed by anything that would kill a human, there are some exceptions to this rule tho. In werewolf form, they can be killed by removing the head, destroying the heart, fire, silver or poisoning with acontum based poisons injected into their bloodstream.
