## Variations

### Werebeast Yokai

Weredragons has a human form that appears during the day. During the night, they transform into their werebeast form and gain the powers of the dragon.

### Dragon Yokai

Weredragons are one of the many types of dragons as the humans who transforms into their dragon form during the night can use the same abilities as one.

## Life in the Hidden World

Like all Werebeast Yokai, weredragons are able to live between the Surface World and the Hidden World. During the day they wander around with the other normal humans. When night falls, they transform into their weredragon forms and head to the Hidden World. In their werebeast form, they can use the same abilities as the dragon. This includes using elemental powers and gaining the dragon's senses, stamina, agility, etc. In addition, weredragons are often attributed strength and speed far beyond those of dragons or men and may have them in lesser amount even when untransformed.

## Symbolism

Weredragons are scavengers that are abducted as experiments that turn them into half-dragons, but only at night. They could be any (canon or fanmade) tribe as dragon, but they are still only half-dragon, so they never get as big or deadly in dragon form as a real dragon, and often have only very weak versions of tribe powers.
