Creatures of the Night
T
he full moon is always a trecherous time of the
month. Especially when in an area inhabited
by those infected with one of the various forms
of lycanthropy. Ranging from the classic
werewolf to the jungle found weretigers, these
creatures are a force to be delt with.
However, this book will hold within a few more rarer cases
of lycanthropy, forms not seen by normal circumstances or in
commonplace scenarios. Wily werefoxes, feral werecats, and
even the oddly docile weredeer. Don't worry, this will also
hold a record of their known abilites and helpful hints about
the creatures themselves.
Rare Lycanthropy Cases
The folllowing is an account of each rare case of lycanthropy.
While most of these are much rarer than others, stay
advised... they can show up afterall.
Werefox
While a type of lycanthrope, werefoxes tend to have more
dexterous bodies. Useable for getting around and fighitng
their foes compared to something like a werewolf who gains
brute strength. Along with that, they also have a keen sense
of hearing and smell to help them gain an edge in
investigating their enviroment
One way to tell that a werefox is in the area is that most
livestock are being found dead, chickens especially. Though,
they take the typical instinct of a fox to avoid humanoids that
may come across them. However, they can be coaxed to
fighitng if cornered or their territory is approached.
Weredeer
Victims of malichous nymphs or fey. While typically docile,
they'll attack intruders to their territory. They also exhibit the
most deer insticts compared to most other lycanthropes. The
bearers of this type of lycanthropy tend to stay away from
civilization until their instincts cause them to flee into the
wilderness.
Male weredeer still gain the typical antlers that male deer
gain while females tend to flee most combat scenarios. This
group of lycanthropes are docile unless provoked. However,
weredeer cannot transfer their lycanthropy to other people as
it is a magically induced curse.

Werecat
Werecats tend to reside in settlements and towns, and take
on the prowl at night. While they may be a lycanthrope, they
tend to be the smartest of them. However, when they prowl at
night, they tend to remain in cat form and act as part of the
alley cat societies found within towns. Even attacking people
who try to approach them.
These creatures also have the most variation in their fur
patterns. With the hybrid forms getting confused for tabaxi
cause of this. If a person was to give a werecat food or water
as a form of goodwill, they'll affectionally bite the provider to
spread their lycanthropy to them.

underground or in the Underdark. In most cases, the true

Werebadgers are also very recluse and solitary creatures.
With very rare cases of there being more than one in an area.
They rarely do bite and spread lycanthropy due to this.

Wereshark
Typically found nearby or in oceans, these creatures are
extremely dangerous in the water. Unlike most lycanthrope
curses, the animal form of a wereshark is completely aquatic,
and must be swimming in water. They have unrivaled swim
speed compared to other lycanthropes. Weresharks tend to
hang around piers and docks in human form. Part of this is
due to their diet, where they may try to take any chum or
dead fish if they can. Weresharks tend to be more scavengers
compared to sharks. Swiming in the area with a wereshark is
still very dangerous, as they will hunt a free meal.

Weredragon
The rarest of any lycanthrope, these creatures are typically
the result of particularly strong curses or failed attempts at a
ritual for becoming a half-dragon. Like normal dragons, they
tend to hoard various goods or treasures. Along with this,
they also will display the traits of their draconic heritage.
They can also fire a bolt of their breath weapon compared to
a full breath weapon, this is due to the hybrid form not
developing a full breath weapon. Unlike most other
lycanthropes, they cannot shapeshift into the full form of a
dragon. Because of this, the wings they get in their hybrid
form are clumsy to fly with. They cannot transfer the curse by
bite.
