Werewolves
There’s only one type of werewolf. That is to say, while breeds do exist, there’s no such thing as “lycans”, or any of that. They’re not separate things- a lycanthrope is another word for a werewolf, and vice versa. Nor do werewolves live as the stereotype suggests. No one loses control on a full moon, goes raging out and destroying houses and buildings, nor is their wolf side a separate part of them. Additionally, mental shifting is a concept that has been popularized in other communities, but isn’t really relevant to being a were or a shifter. If you are both a wolf and human, or able to switch between the two forms, why would you need a separate mindset for both? How do you know what a wolf thinks like, if you’re not a wolf at the time? This is not to say that trying out other kinds of shifts can’t help you. But, if you are a were of any sort, the best kind of shift to try out is a physical shift, because mental shifting won’t really do much for you, and/or lead to a physical shift anyway. Is this confusing? The mods will go into detail on this later, so it can be more clearly understood. -Mod R-K2
