Were-beasts are not myths, however, nor merely stories. They are demons. Some can alter their forms, appearing to be entirely human or entirely animal, others are trapped in the form between.

They can be jackals or wolves, ravens or seals, jaguars or foxes. Some are clever, some are fierce, some are elegant and sensual.

The most common of the were-beasts, however, are savage, brutal and dimwitted, always servants and never masters. They are terrifying creatures standing over six feet tall with razor-sharp teeth and preternatural strength, ravenous for flesh and blood.
