Werewolves : Animal-Humanoid Hybrid : Mortal
A werewolf can be any mortal race before transformation. Once one of these races becomes a werewolf, they take on magical physiological, and mental traits of a wolf that appear whenever they change their form or state of mind. There are many types of werewolf transformations, and they may happen at any time the werewolf wishes to change.

Once one of these races becomes a werewolf, they take on magical physiological, and mental traits of a wolf that appear whenever they change their form or state of mind. There are many types of werewolf transformations, and they may happen at any time the werewolf wishes to change.
Physical Traits: A werewolf appears to be whatever race they were before being changed. That is, until they shift into being a werewolf. A werewolf in shifted form looks like an anthropomorphic wolf. Werewolves all are different in size, but a shifted werewolf is much larger than it is in its original form. The legs increase in length, and become digitigrade. A large, fluffy tail protrudes from the posterior. The shoulders become broad, as well as the chest. The head looks the most wolf-like, emerging from the shoulders from a long scruffy neck that looks like a mane. Ears increase in size and come to a point. Their shoulders and back are hunched forward at all times, and large teeth and claws make them for dangerous hunters.
Dietary Requirements: While there are many dietary options for a werewolf, nothing quite satiates their hunger like raw meat. Consuming such a meal in front of the general public is not advised. Also werewolves need to hunt and eat often to keep up with their metabolism. Because of these two things, most werewolves choose to spend more time away from people, and in the wilderness around where they can freely hunt.
Defensive Racial Traits: Thick hair covering whole body that can protect from some injuries, heightened senses. Increased ability to heal over a short span of time.
Offensive Racial Traits: Increased physical strength, body size, teeth and large claws. Heightening of all senses. Stamina and agility increases.
Creation: If you are bitten or scratched by a werewolf, you get infected with the disease. This must happen when the werewolf is in its animal form. You can also become a werewolf through the curse of a necromancer. If two werewolves couple, the offspring will be one of the races of the parents without the werewolf disease or curse.
Death: A werewolf is not necessarily immortal, and depending on the race before creation it may simply die of old age. Because of their healing abilities, one would need to separate a werewolves heart from the rest of its body in order to kill it before a natural death.
Other: All werewolves have the capability to totally shift or use their shifting powers whenever they want. Though, when there is a full moon, all werewolves shift without control of their person, they become especially violent and bloodthirsty. Another reason why many choose to stay away from civilization.

Sense Shifting: This happens when in regular form however, senses become sharp and wolf-like. This usually only affects one or two senses at a time.
Mental Shifting: Mental shifting takes place while the werewolf is in regular form. This is the ability to shut out all regular activity happening inside the mind in order to fully heighten all of the senses at once. This can be done when a werewolf is searching out prey, or something that may be of danger to them. Although it is a fairly common ability, it still takes a good deal of concentration and focus. This can be very difficult for werewolves who are children.
Lucid Shifting: Shifting your whole body into a full werewolf while still maintaining the ability to keep normal mental processes in check. You are aware of your humanity, and also your werewolf form. Exceedingly few werewolves are capable of this.
Non-Lucid Shifting: Shifting your whole body into a werewolf form while not being able to stay self-aware. You lose yourself to your wolf side and become an un-tamable beast. On full moons, all werewolves shift into this whether they hold the ability to lucid shift or not.
Phantom Shifting: A strange phenomenon that occurs where, while not in werewolf form, a werewolf may feel like a part of their body has become animalistic when it actually hasn’t.
