Lycans

Lycans are shape shifters that can transform into huge wolves at will. In human form they are pretty much like humans except that they heal much faster than normal. In wolf form they are strong and swift.

Lycans retain some wolf like qualities in human form. They have keener hearing and smell and increased stamina.

Contrary to popular belief lycans don't need human flesh to survive. Any animal will do, but they need meat in larger quantities than humans do.

Lycans organise themselves into packs. The leader of the pack is the alpha and is usually the strongest and most aggressive.

The beta is the alpha's first in command and the one that normally deals out justice to the lower members of the pack that don't fall in line.

The gammas are the warriors and hunters of the group. Subserviant but powerful.

Finally the omegas are the remaining members that act as worker, negotiators, or servants to the higher ranks.

Rising up the ranks is usually done via contents of strength. Brutal fights can occur and the loser is either killed or exiled from the pack.

There are occasional "lone wolves" that do not have a pack at all, but these are rare.

A werewolf transformation is always painful. This means that a werewolf is very vulnerable during transformation. Some werewolves can halt mid-transformation (the War Form), becoming a monstrous mixture of man and beast.

A specially charged pentagram, if put on a chain and worn by a werewolf, will prevent them from taking wolf form.
