Werewolf


Werewolves belong to a group of monsters known as lycanthropes. In most cases, lycanthropes are born from the bite of a werewolf. Victims may not realize their unlucky fates until the sight of the full moon transforms them into fearful beasts. Once the transformation is complete, the ability to think as a human disappears, leaving only an animal's thirst for blood. By dawn, the victims return to human form, often with no memory of the incident.
Not all werewolves are completely evil. Over time, some control their animal tendencies and live peacefully among other humans. Yet they must always hide their true natures, for if anyone discovered their curse, they would certainly be driven away.
