Homebrew Werewolf Species Details

Werewolves tend to stick together in small villages. They're loyal providers and protecters, caring for their community. 

Competitive fighters

If competitive fighting, the winner gains respect and privileges such as being served first and having a say in the villages council. The loser gets the dirty task of cleaning the horse stables and any other thing that needs servicing.

A need for adventure

No man left behind
