Homebrew Werewolf Species Details
Werewolfs share most of their traits, visuals etc. with normal humans, exceptions being their lycanthropic abilities of course. Infected humans deal very differently with their curse. Most normal humans are scared of lycanthropes, so a lot of Werewolfs try to just live a normal life within a normal city, but others are going out to live in small communities away from all other citizens, but there are also cases of lycanthropes training to use their powers to become masters of fighting, and become a force to be reconed with on the battlefield.
Created for a private game, potentially not balanced! Feel free to comment suggestions tho!
