This universe follows the same basic plotline as the VLD universe with a significant major change: Werebeasts exist on Earth and the human crew of Voltron are werewolves.
While werebeasts exists, they aren’t very public to normal humans. Each species of werebeast has its own culture and role within their overall sub-society. The Galaxy Garrison mainly recruits predators, although they also have humans in their ranks. Those selected to be on flight crews are almost always werewolves. High ranking officers tend to be werecats. Scientists are more varied, as are other positions.
Pidge
Pidge is a werefox like the rest of her family. When she snuck into the Garrison she passed herself as an Ethiopian Wolf, which are very fox-like. She used illegal hormones, etc. to make it more convincing. It’s unheard of for werefoxes to be pilots as they are viewed to be more fragile than other predator werebeasts.
Shiro
Shiro is a werewolf, specifically a Tundra Wolf. They’re huge, tend to be black/silver/white, and look like giant huskies ngl. His fur was originally black, although it turned somewhat white after he was captured by the Galra. Despite his wolf form being his strongest form, he never used it while in the arena. After coming back to life, all of his fur turned as white as snow.
Keith
Keith is a Dire Wolf. It’s a currently extinct form of wolf and werewolf, although his father was a wolf and when his genes mixed with Krolia’s unique Galra ones, it produced a mutation that most closely resembles the dire werewolves of old. Perhaps their origin is lest terrestrial than once thought...
Hunk
Hunk, like his mother, is a Makenzie Valley Wolf (aka Timber Wolf). As one of the largest kinds of werewolves, his werebeast form is very intimidating. Unfortunately for Hunk, he doesn’t like using it often and even while in wolf form isn’t very aggressive--unless it means protecting his friends.
Lance
Most of Lance’s family are coyotes, but Lance himself (like his sister Veronica) is an Eastern Wolf (or Great Lakes Wolf). They are a medium sized wolf similar to coyotes, which is part of why he never really felt out of place in his family. That and the fact that they would’ve loved him whether he was a werewolf, werecoyote, or not a werebeast at all (like one of his nephews). He got picked on some as a kid but never let it keep him down.
No one besides Shiro knows that Pidge is not a werewolf. They don’t really care, but it’s not something they’ve really discussed since coming to space. Since their werebeast forms are in part related to Earth’s moon, being in space makes them unreliable. Additionally, Coran and Allura don’t know about it, although they have on occasion seen a paladin in wolf form. They just assumed all humans did that and didn’t see a need to ask.
Haggar does know about Shiro’s wolf form (or suspects something of it) but was unable to get him to transform. Lotor is unaware of the ability and sees humans as physically inferior to both Alteans and Galra.
As far as relationships go, there is both implied Shidge and implied Lotidge in the comic and the first story. It’s left open for development later.

Since the comic is short and doesn’t have a lot of talking I wanted to explain the plot. This is the whole plot so only read it if you don’t feel like waiting to see what happens. This comic takes place sometime between Seasons 5 and 7.
While aiding refugees on a cold, snowy planet, the Galra begin a surprise attack. Pidge is in the best position to escort the civilians, which are being targeted by the Galra, to safety through the thick woods. Unfortunately, she is followed by some ground troops. She tells the civilians to keep running and then shifts into her werebeast form, since there is no one around and she’s in her element.
Pidge is able to take out all of the soldiers except for their general, who catches her by surprise. When she lets out a cry of pain, Shiro hears her and immediately heads in her direction. Lotor notices and follows quickly behind. In a fit of rage, Shiro transforms and brutally kills the general. When Lotor arrives, both Shiro and Pidge are in their human forms and Shiro wants to take Pidge to safety. Lotor lingers behind for a moment and notices the bodies of the fallen soliders and how their wounds aren’t the same kind that the paladin’s weapons make....
