Homebrew Were-Snowleopard Species Details
Originating from the cold ice mountains, this special type of lycanthrope is rare, yet not as rare as it seems, because unlike most other Lycans the Were-snowleopard remains in contact with their human origins in more senses than one. Not only do they keep their human personality, while in theirWere-snowleopard form, they also master the ability to change between the three phases of their physical selves.
While many snow weretigers wander far from their ice-capped mountains, the nature of these magical snowy mountains never truly leave their blood. Even those not born but transformed into Were-snow leopard feel the magic of ice in their veins.
