====Werewolves==== A blanket term for a number of magical talents that have wolf-themed capabilities. A bit of exposition made it clear there are four kinds of creatures that can be called werewolves; the non-species specific terminology is Weretherian, but for simplicities sake we'll stick with werewolves for here. *'''Werewolves''': Mortals who have a minor magical talent for shapeshifting, and learned how to use turn into a wolf at will under their own power. This means they have to learn to properly transform and handle their new body from scratch, but otherwise don't have many of the drawbacks that the other '''types''' have. Werewolves are still vulnerable to regular weaponry, so no silver required. Apparently if you get really, ''really'' good at it, you can shapeshift your clothes with you. For the rest of them, they have to get naked first or they're gonna be a wolf wearing blue jeans. While that might be hilarious, it probably won't be useful in a fight. **'''Wolfwere''': A wolf that has learned how to transform into a man, gaining the mightiest power of all: '''OPPOSABLE THUMBS'''. Also note that this is also really rare, because it means that an animal (not from the spirit world) has learned magic, which is almost unheard of. *'''Hexenwolves''': Mortals who use enchanted items infused with the power of a predatory spirit to shape-shift. This means there is no pesky learning curve to handling their new bodies, but at the same time a spirit of violence and predatory instinct is being let loose inside their skull, slowly turning them into psychotic beasts with little impulse control. Silver not required. *'''Lycanthropes''': People who channel a spirit of rage. While they don't technically shape-shift; their bodies do undergo minor changes during the full moon, making them harder, faster, stronger, and lowering their impulse control and intelligence as they become more bestial. This might be the same trick used by Viking Berserkers. Once again silver is not required, but bring a lot of force. *'''Loup-Garou''': Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Well you'd better be scared of this guy. Loup-Garous are the only werewolf variant who have no control over their shape-shifting as they are under a generational curse which forces them to turn into a wolf like demon the size and weight of a small minivan, or large car, during the three days that surround the full moon. This curse has to come from a major heavyweight, like the Faerie Queens or a Demon lord, and is nigh-unbreakable without killing the family line that has been cursed. Loup-Garous are the only form of werewolf vulnerable to silver, and then it has to be silver inherited from a family member. A loup-garou can go through a building full of armed and trained men like a hot blender through an infant made of butter; they're huge, strong, and almost impossible to kill without silver, being immune to poison and mind magic, and capable of healing fatal injuries within seconds.
