“The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do.”

A werewolf, also known as a lycanthrope is a human that can partially or totally turn into a wolf, either voluntary or under the effects of the moon. (this would depend on their class)

They are characterized for having great strength, speed and resistance either they are in human form or wolf form (these abilities just increase when they are in wolf or hybrid form), as well as heightened sense of smell and sense of hearing. All beings of this specie have 3 forms: the human, the hybrid and the animal. The power, strength and size of their hybrid and animal form depend on their class. Their natural enemies are vampires and they usually live in small or big herds, developing strong friendship bonds between the members of their herd.

• -Great strength, speed and resistance (colossal strength when in animal or hybrid form)
•  Ability to turn into wolf form by using the phases of the moon and into hybrid form voluntary (2nd class or infected lycans)

• If there’s no full moon, infected lycans or 2nd class cannot transform into full wolf form and when there’s full full moon and they transform, they lose control of themselves becoming beasts.
•  Magic affects them in human and hybrid form.
• The only way to kill an authentic lycan or 1st class is to take out their hearts with a silver weapon and burn it.
• Vampire poison affects them terribly and burns them if ingested.
