**Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov** is easily the most well-known Red Army commander from World War 2. Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov saw action from the early days of the war up to the Battle of Berlin. He took part in planning the defenses of the Soviet Union, which were put to the test when the Germans invaded in 1941. A most dedicated and experienced commander, Zhukov was an expert in armored warfare.

Fredrick The Foreign Engine

**Fredrick** **The Foreign Engine**, also known as **Big City Engine**, is an express tender engine from the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.

## Bio

The Foreign Engine once stayed the night at Vicarstown with Gordon and Duck. The three engines were involved in an argument about the confusion between the mainline stations in London. Gordon remembered a trip to King's Cross in his youth, and believed that London was restricted to Kings Cross (LNER). Duck thought that London was Paddington (GWR), as he had once worked there. The Foreign Engine thought that London was Euston (LMS).

Unbeknownst to them, they were all correct, as there were a number of stations in London for different railway companies. Even so, Gordon and Duck still continued the argument when the engine went away. Because of this, Gordon was eager to find out, but he was most disappointed to discover when he visited London that the station he visited was St. Pancras.

## Basis

The Foreign Engine is based on an original build LMS "Patriot" 4-6-0. As all the "Patriot" engines were scrapped, it can be assumed that he was as well. However, there is a project to build a new LMS Patriot, named "The Unknown Warrior".
Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov

The Missing Coach

**The Missing Coach** was an episode that was originally going to be part of the second season, but it was canceled in the middle of filming and replaced by Thomas, Percy and the Coal. But it was going a double length episode.

## The Missing Coach

### Writer

Rev.w.Awdry. Britt Allcroft & David Mitton

## Plot

Donald and Douglas (now 9 and 10 respectively) realise that they only have numbers painted on their tenders, so no one would tell them apart otherwise. The inspector introduces them to Duck who shows them around and at night the twins put Gordon and Henry in their place when the two were teasing them about their whistles. One afternoon, Douglas is shunting in the yard and worries about being sent away, unfortunately forgetting to shunt Thomas' Special Coach. The twins decide to swap tenders so as to convince the Fat Controller that they have nothing to do with the coach going missing, but he is not fooled and reprimands Douglas severely.

## Characters

* Henry
* Gordon
* Duck
* Donald and Douglas

## Locations

* Tidmouth
* Tidmouth Sheds
* Ffarquhar Sheds

## Trivia

* This episode was based on the story of the same name from the Railway Series book, The Twin Engines.
* In an interview with David Mitton released on SiF shortly before his death in 2008, he confirmed that the episode was in production and half way through filming when Britt Allcroft decided that it would be too difficult for little children to understand, so the crew filmed Thomas, Percy and the Coal as a whole new episode so as to stop the season being short of an episode. It is assumed that Donald and Douglas swapping tenders to fool the Fat Controller is what would have made the plot hard to comprehend for little children. David also mentioned that he was in possession of all the original footage filmed for this episode.
* Six screenshots are all that is currently publicly visible of the filmed footage:
	+ A scene of Douglas shunting the coach can be seen in the 1989 annual.
	+ A close up of Douglas from the opening is seen in various books, posters, and on Douglas' Take-Along card (it is also seen on the cover to the New Zealand rerelease of The Deputation and Other Stories on VHS).
	+ Various stills of the twins confronting Gordon and Henry at the sheds can be seen in a Japanese book and other merchandise.
	+ Another confirms Duck as a character, one shows an image of one of the Scottish twins beneath the coal hopper with Duck by his side, and the final shows a portion of the opening.
* Recently Britt Allcroft's nephew stated that she also had the original footage.
* This is the first episode known to have been cancelled. However, the series pilot was never broadcast, but was re-shot as the twenty-fifth episode of the first season.
* Presumably, this episode was meant to air between Better Late Than Never and Break Van.
* The opening shot was used as stock footage in Break Van.

KV-1 Heavy Tank

Example

The **Kliment Voroshilov (KV**) tanks were a series of Soviet heavy tanks named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov and used by the Red Army during World War II. The KV series were known for their heavy armour protection during the early part of the war, especially during the first year of the German invasion of the Soviet Union. In certain situations, even a single KV-1 or KV-2 supported by infantry was capable of halting large German formations. German tanks at that time were rarely used in KV encounters as their armament was too poor to deal with the "Russischer Koloss" - "Russian Colossus".

The Unaired Pilot

**Down the Mine** is the original unaired 1983 pilot of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends that was made but never broadcasted.

## History

In 1980, Britt Allcroft acquired the rights to produce episodes based on the Railway Series for television. She spent over two years meeting animators deciding on what style of animation would be used for the series - classical, stop motion, clay and CGI. After meeting David Mitton it was decided that live action model animation would be used. A low budget, pre-production test pilot episode was produced to pitch the series to several networks. The pilot was based on the Railway Series story Down the Mine and differed from the final aired version. After the series was green-lighted by ITV the episode was later refilmed as the twenty-fifth episode of the first season.

## Differences with Final Version

The pilot version had simpler sets, fewer characters and flatter lighting. The models of Thomas and Gordon were also different. The models used were scratch built, including the wheels, by Martin Gill and were more simplistic in appearance. They were never tested before being filmed in front of the camera and proved to be unreliable. All the later series models would use the more dependable Märklin chassis.

## Characters

* Thomas
* Gordon

Annie, Clarabel and Sir Topham Hatt were likely to have appeared.

## Preservation

The pilot was never publicly released, only appearing in test screenings, and it is currently unknown as to where the footage is or who possesses it. No stills are known to exist, however Thomas' pilot model was briefly seen in the aired version of Down the Mine.

## Trivia

* According to crew member Christopher Noulton, the Gordon model used in the pilot was refurbished by him for the second season for use as a stand-by model. It was later cut up and used as scrap set dressing.
* Britt Allcroft mortgaged her house with the bank in order to fund production.
* According to Robert Gauld-Galliers, it is currently unknown as to where the pilot footage is, he also stated that although he was unsure who watched the first screening of the episode, the response was positive.

James and Sir Topham Hatt were likely to have appeared.

## Trivia

* The episode was to be based on the story of the same name from the Railway Series book, The Eight Famous Engines.
* Had this episode been filmed, the Foreign Engine would have been made using Henry's model with a new face and smoke deflectors.
* One of the main reasons why the episode was never made was because production would have been too expensive.
Thomas

Thomas Is The Main Character Of Thomas And Friends

## Bio

Details of Thomas' arrival on the North Western Railway in 1915 are more or less undocumented. There is no official explanation to how he arrived on the island. However, the most popular rumour (according to Sodor: Reading Between the Lines) is that he was sent to Sodor due to a war-time mix up. Instead of returning to the south coast of England when the problem was sorted, both his driver and fireman married local girls and decided to stay. Sir Topham Hatt purchased Thomas for a "nominal fee". After that Thomas is station pilot at Vicarstown and is transferred to Tidmouth in 1925. Later that same year James had his accident and Thomas came to his rescue. He then earned his own branch line (The Ffarquhar branch) and two coaches Annie and Clarabel. After that he has had many adventures on his branch line like racing with Bertie and chasing a thief, or pulling the express. In 1990 Thomas was invited to The National Railway Museum in York, England. In 2015 Thomas turned 100 years old and in 2016, It had been 70 years since his first book was published about him when he was station pilot.

## Basis

Thomas is based on the Billinton E2-Class 0-6-0T locomotives built for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway between 1913 and 1916. He is apparently one of the last batch built as only these engines featured his distinctive extended side-tanks, projecting forward over the leading wheels and little down sweeps at each end of the footplate. The E2s were introduced in 1915 to replace earlier members of the E1 class, which had been scrapped. The last five in the ten strong class had extended side tanks to give a greater water capacity, but all engines had two inside cylinders and driving wheels 4'6" in diameter.

After many years of service, all of the Billinton E2s, both original and modified, spent their last working years at Southampton Docks, alongside the SR USA Tanks (Rosie's class), and they were all scrapped by 1963, the very last pair being numbers 31204 and 31209, the latter being amongst the last batch. Their replacements were BR Class 07 diesel shunters (Salty's class). There is, however, a campaign with the aim to build a new E2, and number it 110. Two E2s of the first batch were tested on passenger trips, as well as given the LB&SCR brown passenger livery, this was a failed experiment, the reason for it being that the first batch didn't carry enough coal and water. So the class was used only for shunting.

Thomas has a slight modification of having wheel splashers over his front wheels whereas the original E2s did not. Unlike Thomas, the E2s had footplates with dips at the ends or ones that were straight. Thomas only had a dip at one end of his footplate, which it was repaired after his accident with the Stationmasters house, making it straight.

Charles B. Collett0-6-0

Railway 57xx pannier tank engine. Previously being the station pilot at Tidmouth, he now has his own branch line that runs between Tidmouth and Arlesburgh and is sometimes seen working with Oliver.

## Bio

Duck worked at Paddington before moving to Sodor in 1955 to take over Percy's shunting duties, leaving the latter free to assist with the construction of Knapford Harbour. Duck was a hard worker, but the others mistook his work ethic for simplicity and tried to use this to their advantage. They soon found their mistake when Duck and Percy took revenge on them by barring them from the shed. Duck earned a reprimand from the Fat Controller for this.

When Diesel arrived, the others took a liking to his flattery, but Duck was doubtful and left Diesel to his own devices, which resulted in the latter getting into a mishap with some old trucks. Duck tried to help Diesel when the trucks started to tease him, but to no avail. Diesel vowed to get revenge and inspired by several incidents occurring around the yard in Duck's absence, spread rumours that Duck had given offensive nicknames to the others. Duck was sent to work as a banker for Edward at Wellsworth pending further inquiry and after bravely stopping a runaway goods train at his own risk, he regained the respect of the others. Of course, by this time the others were aware that the matter was all Diesel's fault, but Duck's heroism certainly helped.

## Basis

Duck is based on a Great Western Railway 57xx Class 0-6-0 pannier tank engine with added sand boxes. Duck's Great Western number, 5741, was that of a real 57xx, built by the North British Locomotive Co. in 1929 and scrapped at Swindon in 1958. 863 of these engines were built by various manufacturers over a 21 year period, making it the most produced class of British tank engine. 16 of these engines survive in preservation.

Gordon

**Gordon** is a big blue express engine. He is Flying Scotsman's only remaining brother and Mallard, Green Arrow, Spencer, Ryan and The Flying Thistle's cousin. When Gordon was streamlined to compete in the Great Railway Show, he ran under the name **The Shooting Star.**

## Bio

Gordon was built experimentally by Sir Nigel Gresley for the Great Northern Railway at Doncaster Works in 1922 as the first A1 Pacific, which would become the prototype to the final A1 design. When Gresley was finished using Gordon for designing his A1 Pacifics, he sold Gordon, along with a spare boiler and firebox, to the North Western Railway.

During Gordon's early years on the railway, he often looked down on the smaller engines like Edward and Thomas. However, he would soon find he needed help from Edward to be his banker after he got stuck on a hill with a train of trucks. He also needed Edward and Henry to pull his passenger train after he broke his safety valve in front of Henry's Tunnel.

Gordon often found Thomas very annoying for whistling rudely at him, so he taught him a lesson by bringing him along his express train before he could be uncoupled. Thomas usually fetched the coaches for him, however, after Thomas left the yard when he was given a branch line, Gordon, along with Henry and James, soon found that they had to fetch their own coaches. After the big engines had several mishaps, one of which involved Gordon having to pull his train backwards, Gordon proposed that they all go on strike, where they would only pull their coaches if another engine fetched them. Edward was the only engine left and since he was a tender engine and that Gordon proposed that tender engine do not shunt, they started to discriminate against Edward until the Fat Controller decided to leave them in the shed until they learned how silly they were.

## Basis

According to The Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways, Gordon is the experimental prototype for

Sir Nigel Gresley's A1 Pacific design for the Great Northern Railway. Gordon was built at Doncaster Works in Yorkshire. Once the first batch of A1 Pacifics appeared in 1922 Gordon would have more than likely have been reclassified A1/1 - the '/1' indicating he is slightly different to the rest of the class.

Donald and Douglas

**Donald and Douglas** (originally known by their numbers, **57646** and **57647**, respectively) are twin Scottish

## Donald and Douglas

### Configeration

0-6-0

mixed-traffic engines, specifically Caledonian Railway McIntosh 812 classes. Douglas, however, tagged along with Donald to Sodor in order to escape from scrap, despite Donald being the only engine expected. After proving themselves to be really useful, they were both allowed to stay. They now work as utility engines on the NWR; working wherever they're needed. They work primarily on The Little Western, but sometimes on Edward's Branch Line (Railway Series only) and The Main Line.

## Bio

Donald and Douglas were designed by John F. McIntosh and built by St. Rollox Works for the Caledonian Railway. Upon nationalisation, they became part of the Scottish Region of British Railways, where they were renumbered 57646 and 57647. In 1959, Sir Topham Hatt needed a goods engine and by his request, BR decided to transfer 57646 (Donald) to Sodor.

To Sir Topham Hatt's surprise though, two engines arrived. Donald's twin Douglas (57647) could not stand to be separated from his brother, and was smart enough to realise he would eventually be scrapped if he stayed in Scotland. Unfortunately for Sir Topham Hatt and any other worker, neither engine could be told apart: both claimed to have forgotten their numbers, and indeed their numberplates had "slyly slipped off" during the journey from Scotland. This caused the Fat Controller to keep both until he could determine which engine was freeloading on his hospitality. It was later revealed that this piece of skulduggery had been planned not only by the two engines, but also by their drivers and firemen, who were related as well.

The Fat Controller was unaware of Douglas' motive and threatened the two that whichever engine he found out to be the truant would be sent home. Both engines resolved to give outstanding service so that Hatt would want to keep both of them. This plan quickly went to pieces, however, after Douglas accidentally shunted Thomas' special coach, full of passengers, into a siding at Tidmouth, causing a great deal of fury for the passengers. Things were more complicated when Donald crashed into a signalbox at Tidmouth and Douglas accidentally destroyed The Spiteful Brake Van.

## Basis

Donald and Douglas are both based on the Caledonian Railway "McIntosh 812" 0-6-0's. Edward's Ghost Engineis another member of this class minus the tender and nameplate.
Panzer IV D

The Panzerkampfwagen IV (PzKpfw IV), commonly known as the **Panzer IV**, was a German medium tank developed in the late 1930s and used extensively during the Second World War. Its ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz. 161.

The Panzer IV was the most widely manufactured German tank of the Second World War, with some 8,500 built. The Panzer IV was used as the base for many other fighting vehicles, including the Sturmgeschütz IV assault gun, Jagdpanzer IV tank destroyer, the Wirbelwind self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, and the Brummbär self-propelled gun.
Votrax VS5

The VS5 was the second speech synthesis chip released by Votrax International, Inc. that was made commercially available. It was used by NASA in the VRAS (voice recognition and synthesis system) which was used in the cockpit interface of aircrafts.

UTAU/Resamplers

**UTAU** allows the use of different resamplers. This page is a list of the currently known resamplers, and information on them.

## resampler.exe

**resampler.exe** is the resampler which comes bundled by default with UTAU. It was developed by *Ameya*, and an early version of it was used as the default resampler for the software **loliedit**, which is considered an early version of UTAU. resampler.exe generates \*.FRQ files. Its most recent public release is 14.02r\_4.18e.

## Model4

**Model4** was also developed by Ameya, and was released only to a small group of testers. Not much is known about it, other than that it doesn't work very well with most voicebanks, but works very well with a select few voicebanks.

## fresamp

**fresamp** is known for eliminating sample noise, strengthening voicebanks and making samples sound more nasal when used in higher ranges. It takes a very long time for fresamp to render when compared to other resamplers. Its most recent public release is 014.

## TIPS

**TIPS** is known for working well with soft banks and low notes. With certain voicebanks, it can make them sound more metallic or emphasize existing sample noise. It was developed by *ScientistB*, and it generates \*.PMK files.

## EFB-GW

**EFB-GW** (also known as **WORLD**) is an open-source resampler, built using the FFTW framework.

## world4utau

**world4utau** is a resampler built using the FFTW framework. It is very picky with what voicebanks it works with, seeming to only work with voicebanks recorded at 44100Hz 16bit with no sample metadata.

## moresampler

**moresampler** is a resampler programmed by computer scientist *Kanru Hua*. It has its own set of flags, and an auto oto generator for VCV Japanese, CVVC Japanese and Arpasing English voicebanks. It is very good at rendering voicebanks in a way that sounds similar to its original samples. It renders much faster than most other UTAU resamplers. Its most recent public release is 0.8.0.

## Unnamed SMS resampler

A demo for an unnamed **spectral-model-synthesis**-based resampler was posted by *isengaara* on an English speaking forum focused on UTAU and other synthesizers. This resampler has presumably never had a public release.

Demo: Archive.org

Battle of the Bulge (German)

The **Battle of the Bulge : Operation Watch on the Rhine** is the seventh and final Battle in the German Campaign.

## Briefing

* Break through the villages occupied by the allied forces and regroup
* Eliminate the enemy in the north-eastern village and set up an observation post in the area.
* Occupy the villages to the north and prepare to advance further.

## Preface

Wacht am Rhein (Watch on the Rhine), a German operation that started on 16 December 1944 and went on for a month throughout the Ardennes mountains in Belgium and Luxembourg was a valiant attempt to separate the American and British armies. By doing so and by capturing Antwerp, Germany would have denied the Allies its port, slowing or even halting the invasion. The operation relied on multiple criteria: surprise, overcast weather conditions to neutralize Allied air superiority, rapid advance, and capturing Allied fuel supplies along the way. Germany managed to build-up forces in secrecy, and the attack, often called `Ardenne offensive', caught the enemy completely off guard. The German forces attacking along the northern shoulder of the front proved most successful, but outnumbered 5 to 1, the attack eventually stopped in its tracks. Although ultimately unsuccessful in achieving its goals, the offensive shook the belief of Allied commanders that Germany had already...TBC.

Barry

**Barry**, named after Barry Island, the home of the scrapyard in South Wales where he was rescued, was a

## Barry

### Configeration

2-6-0

potential character for the Railway Series. He was to first appear in the book, Barry the Rescue Engine - which was initially thought to be the thirty-ninth volume of the Railway Series, however, it ended up becoming cancelled due to young fans not wanting anymore new characters, so Barry was left scrapped from the Railway Series.

It has since been revealed by Christopher Awdry that the book had been created in the 1980's and the engine similar to Wilbert were completely different engines altogether.

## Basis

According to the newly updated The Railway Series: A Brief History page on the Sodor Island Fansite, Barry is a BR Standard Class 2. Barry is logically a 2MT 2-6-0 instead of a 2MT 2-6-2T as none of the tank engines were sent to the Barry Island Scrapyards. The engine Barry is directly based off of was built in 1953 and entered traffic on March 3, 1954.

## Trivia

* According to Chapter 15 of The Thomas the Tank Engine Man entitled "Really Useful Engines", Christopher Awdry explains that he submitted the outline for Barry, but the response from the young fans was that they wanted Thomas and his friends, not anymore new engines. So he quoted: "But, I haven't altogether given up; you could say Barry is dead but not yet buried!"
Votrax SC-02

SSI-263P

The SC-02 was an IC-based synthesizer created by Votrax International, Inc. It was considered a massive upgrade from the SC-01, having more phonemes to support a wider range of languages, a different pinout and different control registers.

Battle of the Falaise Pocket (German)

The **Battle of the Falaise Pocket : Mont Ormel Ridge** is the sixth Battle in the German Campaign.

## Briefing

* Reinforce the defense line in the north and repel the attacks
* Open a gap in the enemy line and create a safe passage through
* Defend the convoys from enemy ambushes
* Withdraw your forces from the encirclement

## Preface

Following the landing of the Allied forces in Normandy, the German defenders in the region were having a difficult time rearranging their front lines and regrouping, with invaders popping up from all directions. During the Battle of the Falaise Pocket (12-21 August 1944), the Allied armies encircled the retreating German Army Group B, including the 7th Army and the 5th Panzer Army, around the town of Falaise. By the evening of 19th August the Allies lined up at Chambois, closing the pocket. German forces outside the pocket managed to open a corridor at St. Lambert and held it open heroically until the evening of 21 August, allowing half of the entrapped army to escape before the Allies resealed the opening. Although many escaped, the losses were catastrophic both in men and equipment, and about half of the soldiers, 50,000 men, remained caught in the encirclement, practically annihilating Army Group B and opening up the way to France and Germany for the enemy.
Sat In Your Lap

**Sat In Your Lap** is the title of a song written and recorded by Kate Bush and released as her ninth UK single on 21 June 1981. Although it was technically the 'lead single' from Bush's upcoming fourth studio album, *The Dreaming* was not released until some fifteen months later.

The single was Bush's first new material since her *Never For Ever* album, in 1980. It entered the UK charts at no.26 in the first week of July and reached a peak position of no.11 two weeks later, staying in the Top 40 for seven weeks.

The B side was a cover of the Donovan song Lord of the Reedy River.

Henry

Henry was built using plans stolen from Sir Nigel Gresley around 1919. The prototype turned out to be something of a cross between a GNR A1 Pacific and a GNR C1 Atlantic. Although the design was a failure, Henry was sold in 1922 to Sir Topham Hatt, who was desperate for a locomotive.

Henry was vain and stopped in a tunnel and refused to come out, citing that his paintwork would be spoiled by the rain. After several attempts to move him failed, he was bricked up in the tunnel until Gordon broke down while pulling the Express. As Edward was unable to move the train himself, the Fat Controller offered to let Henry out of the tunnel to help. Henry eagerly accepted.

Henry performed very well and the Fat Controller promised him a new coat of paint, since Henry's existing paintwork had been spoiled more by his stay in the tunnel than it would have been by the rain. Henry asked to be painted blue like Edward. However, many people confused him with Gordon, to the bigger engine's annoyance. The matter was worsened after a trip to the Works when Henry was given spares of Gordon's buffers. Sometime before 1935, Henry, when again offered new paint, chose green and so ended the Gordon/Henry confusion.

## Basis

Henry's history is unusual. He was built from rejected plans for Sir Nigel Gresley's A1. The plans were stolen from Gresley by a rival. The resulting engine was a mix of a GNR A1 Pacific and a GNR C1 Atlantic, with a 4-6-2 wheel arrangement. Henry in this shape developed performance issues from flaws in the design, compounded by his stay in the tunnel. Henry was a *bad steamer*: with good-quality coal he could get enough heat to make plenty of steam, but when there was a poor lot delivered, his undersized firebox could not hold enough coal to make a proper fire. On advice from Henry's fireman, the Fat Controller ordered high-grade Welsh Coal, which made an appreciable difference in Henry's performance. When Henry suffered an

accident and severe damage that winter, the opportunity was taken to send him to Crewe, where he was rebuilt an LMS Stanier 5MT "Black Five" 4-6-0. After "The Eight Famous Engines," Henry's LMS Stanier 5MT tender was replaced by a Fowler tender.

In the television series, Henry has always had a one-window cab with an LNER-style tender. The main difference between his shapes was removed splashers and the Belpaire firebox replacing the tapered. This was done to ease the changeover to his "Black Five"-esque appearance.
Lycanthropes

Werewolves are an artificial byproduct of a sacrificial spell that went wrong. The Moon Curse turns those with Lycanthrope blood in their bloodline into a hulking werewolf every full moon. After the first mass turning of the first set of Lycanthropes they discovered that the original sacrifice was to the gods, in order to destroy the Vampires. The gods delivered, simply not in the way the perpetrators of the sacrifice thought they would. Werewolves were made to hunt and kill Vampires and would come to serve alongside the Humans and other Sicorian races in removing the rebellion from their home.

Now in the present they are perhaps the only race that the Destruz Empire considers worthy of not being seen as a lower class. The children of select packs that are zealously loyal to the empire offer their young to be trained, indoctrinated like the previous generations were. However there are many smaller packs that have managed to survive well enough in the forests and other less populated areas.

## Strengths:

* Due to their curse, Lycanthropes in their normal human form have increased physical strength, agility and a weak healing factor.
* A Lycanthrope's base strength reach their maximum when they take on their werewolf form, an apex predator and arch nemesis of Vampires.
* Werewolves are capable of tracking and hunting prey for miles due to their keen senses.

## Weaknesses:

* While Lycanthropes are able to change at will, it is a lengthy, painful process that involves the breaking of every bone in their body. They become very vulnerable while shifting forms.
* Lycanthropes are incapable of using any form of magic, their wolf blood doesn’t allow it.
* Lycanthropes are weak to silver weaponry and a herb known as “wolf’s bane” which will cause burns and intense pain on contact with their flesh.

## Diet + Habitat:

Werewolves can eat anything a Human can eat but need to eat more when they are in their werewolf forms. In their werewolf forms they become carnivorous, unable to digest plants.

Small packs of wolves try to stay in forests of any kind for hunting grounds and they try to be away from populated areas in order to avoid tearing someone to shreds by accident. Meanwhile the other, larger packs tend to be kept in the major cities where the young can be indoctrinated.
