Capabilities[]

A user with this ability is a werebeast, a being that transforms into an animal form or a humanoid animal-like creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse and/or therianthropic affliction via a bite or scratch from a werebeast, or some other means. In most myths and legends, this transformation is often associated with the appearance of the full moon.

Most depictions are unable to change into their bestial form when the full moon is not present, only changing when the full moon appears, but in more unique cases, they can transform freely any time when needed without the requirement of a full moon. Additionally, some werebeast can potentially attain a variety of bestial traits and attributes in their normal form which can drastically affect their physical condition and abilities.

Though the most common werebeast is a werewolf, werebeasts can be virtually any animal.
