Homebrew Wolvenkin Species Details
Wolvenkin are sometimes created when two people with the Werewolf curse conceive a child on a night when the moon is full. It seems that a very rare mutation must occur sometime during the conception that causes the child to be stuck in their Wolven form for life. This causes most of them to either be killed at a young age by terrified townspeople or retreat into the forests and go feral, reverting to their wild nature. Those who are able to beat the odds and join society usually face some form of prejudice and are treated as the monsters that most people believe they are. Many become accomplished trackers or mercenaries due to their keen senses and immense strength. They rival even the Goliaths in size and strength.
