Werewolf

Written by jterlecki

Danger

Werewolves are considered highly dangerous, but not endemic to humankind. The most dangerous aspect of a werewolf is that the smell of fear seems to drive them berserk.  

Detection

A werewolf can appear to be totally human until they transform Passing a metal bar over a werewolf can cause them to change.  

Abilities

In werewolf form, they are one of the most ferocious creatures on Earth
  • Strong
  • Able to move with blinding speed (appearing somewhere else)
  • Senses as sharp as an animal
  • Armed with claws and teeth
  • Like other undead, they are very hard to kill. Each time they transform, their body repairs itself.

Tactics

  • In a straight, one-to-one fight, a werewolf will always win. They are the most ferocious and dangerous of monsters in single combat. (Note: few monsters have to resort to single combat.)
  • Their great speed means they can often surprise or evade foes with little difficulty.
  • They are difficult to surprise with their enhanced senses.
  • If a werewolf dies in their mortal or werewolf form, they transform into their other form at full strength.
  • Restraint is a better option.

Weaknesses

  • These creatures smell fear, and it drives them berserk. Friend of foe, if you feel fear, the werewolf will turn on you.
  • Werewolves are weakened by the touch of silver, and once restrained they can be controlled.
  • For reasons not yet understood, a werewolf seems to draw down lightning during a storm, lending support to the religious view of these creatures.

Destruction

Silver is key. Silver steals the strength of these monsters, and only silver can deal a fatal wound that they cannot regenerate.

Social

Werewolves are often convinced they are still mortal, and referred to as "twilight" by other monsters because of this.

Curse

Anyone who has sex with a werewolf, or comes into contact with their blood as they are dying, risks contracting this curse.
