Shifter

Werelings

Shifters resemble humans, their close brethren, but with distinctively bestial features such as sharp teeth, claws, pointed ears, or fur. Compared to humans, shifters are somewhat short, the average height ranges being 5 to 6 feet. Shifters are lithe and strong and, as a result, are slightly heavier for their size, weighing 130–180 pounds most commonly. In many other ways, however, shifters look like humans.
However, to a human's eye, the resemblance is less obvious than the differences. Unlike humans, shifters have flat, animal-like noses, larger than usual eyes that allows them to see better in low light, heavy eyebrows, pointed ears, skin that is often of a brownish shade, and much more hair, commonly brown. Because of this, shifters, to a human, more closely resemble their lycanthrope counterparts, which is sometimes confusing and shifters are sometimes mistaken for true lycanthropes, but a shifter can avoid this by shifting minor parts of their body to look like a normal human. Like their more feral brethren, shifters are capable of minor shapeshifting and can manifest animal-like traits when under stress, such as a tail, fangs, claws, wings, gills, and more. They adapt to whatever environment they are in.
