Werewolves are a type of Werecreature that appear in the Wereworld series. They are people that can take on a lupine or wolf-like form, also referred to as a lycanthropes. They are an extremely powerful type of werecreature, being the only known type to be able to draw additional strength from a full moon when transforming at night.
Additionally, much emphasis is put on their howls. According to Miloqi, “The Werewolf’s call can come in many ways, shapes, and forms. It can be the howl that heralds battle and rallies an army. It can be the blood-chilling wail that strikes fear into the heart of the mightiest warrior. And it can be the mournful death cry carried upon the wind, racing across mountains until it finds its way home.” Queen Amelie's death howl, started in Icegarden, was heard as far as Shadowhaven.
There are currently two known kinds of Werewolves, Grey Wolves and White Wolves. The Grey Wolves originate from the Westland, and ruled for two hundred years out of Highcliff before King Wergar's ousting by Leopold the Lion. The White Wolves live in the northern realm of Lyssia known as Sturmland, and once ruled over the city of Shadowhaven. When King Leopold took over Lyssia, he banished the White Wolves from their home and left Shadowhaven under the rule of Lord Zigler the Wereweasel.
Additionally, wylderman magicks created beings known as the Wyld Wolves, wylderman transformed into monstrous beings with wolfish features. This transformation, like classical werewolves, and the curse is known to spread through bite, though this is very rare and most victims simply die.
