Werewolves are humans afflicted by lycanthropy, able to transform into a wolf and a powerful wolf-man hybrid. For the most part, the transformation is linked to the full moon, where the affected human involuntarily shapeshifts into this monstrosity.
They possess sharp fangs and claws that can tear flesh like a dagger through dry thin cloth. Some stories say they can’t be hurt by mundane weapons, and that you need silver to hurt them and negate their strange and potent ability to regenerate.
Anyone can become affected by lycanthropy, and many victims try to hide this fact from others. As long as their behavior shows nothing out of the ordinary, their names give nothing away, names like Rommik, Noreen, Roy, Estella, and Jacob.

- Ironskin
Werewolves are hybrids between a wolf and a man where the end result is a deadly creature that can kill a man with one swipe of its claws. Commoners often used them as the main villains for stories, scaring children and adults alike. The affected ones try to hide the truth from others while being continually hunted by mercenaries, bounty hunters, and similar monster slayers. When coming up with a werewolf character, think about who they were before getting infected, how it all started, what kind of plans the character now has, and come up with a name worthy of the unnatural and gore-like life they now lead.
