Biography[]

Abilities[]

Note: The following list are the general abilities commonly associated with being a werewolf. Not all abilities or vulnerabilities necessarily apply to every character.

  • Lycanthropy: Lycanthropy is the condition under which one becomes a werewolf. It is often perceived as a curse and is usually developed through supernatural processes. Some werewolves however, may inherit lycanthropy at birth as a result of genetic lineage. Other origins may include scientific experimentation or mutation. Lycanthropy is usually spread by way of suffering a bite or a scratch from another lycanthrope. As such, affected individual can in turn spread the condition to another through a bite or a scratch. This of course assumes that the person who is bitten or scratched survives the initial encounter.
  • Transformation: The most basic sub-application of lycanthropy is the ability to transform, either partially or fully, from a human being into a werewolf. In many cases, this ability is restricted to the nights of the full moon, though some werewolves might possess the ability to change whenever they please.
  • Enhanced senses: While in full werewolf form, the lycanthrope may possess increased senses, similar to that of an animal. Some werewolves may possess this ability even when they are not in werewolf form. In some instances, a werewolf's senses may intensify the closer it gets to a full moon.
  • Enhanced hearing: A werewolf's sense of hearing is greatly increased, particularly on the nights of the full moon.
  • Enhanced smell: A werewolf has an extremely acute sense of smell. They can often track prey by scent, or identify what type of prey is present in their immediate surroundings.
  • Accelerated healing: While in full werewolf form, a werewolf can often regenerate lost or damaged tissue.
  • Claws: While in full werewolf form, their fingernails and toenails extend into sharpened claws.
  • Fangs: A werewolf possesses sharpened canines, ideal for tearing and rending flesh.
  • Physical prowess
  • Superhuman strength: A werewolf's strength level is usually several times greater than that of the average human being.
  • Superhuman durability: A werewolf's ability to resist pain or fatigue is usually several times greater than that of the average human being.
  • Superhuman stamina: A werewolf can remain physically active without tiring during nights of the full moon.
  • Superhuman reflexes: A werewolf's reflex action is usually several times greater than that of the average human being.
  • Superhuman agility: A werewolf's agility level is usually several times greater than that of the average human being.
