How do you like your werewolves?
Maybe it's because I grew up on wattpad stories, but it kinda annoys me when a story has werewolves but they dont feel like werewolves. They're just humans who can shift sometimes and even then they barely shift. People on wattpad used it just for the aesthetic.
I always wanted werewolves that were neither human nor wolves. They have a human form and a wolf, but it's more like in the image of humans and wolves.
Im working on werewolves who actually feel like theyre something more and inhuman. They were created by the Greek goddess Artemis, and chosen werewolves were female but males can be made via the bite.
In human form they're big and tall. The smallest woman is 5'8 and the smallest male is 5'10. Their hair isnt just one color but a mix of 2 or 3. their nails are naturally black and they grow thicker and to a point.
Their eyes are blue, green, or grey, and they reflect in the light.
They also just feel more animalistic, and it's something they have to learn to mask so they dont creep other races out. But you can look at them and tell that theyre not normal.
The females have heats and males have something I call the fever, which is like a rut or musth. They can shift whenever they want but the urge grows stronger during the full moon. They can have packs snd form a mental and emotional connection with their pack mates.
I also have a mate bond but it's different from normal.
And I was debating on if I should give them extra nipples, lol.
Edit: another idea I had was a group of colonizing witches would turn males of their race who had the ability to do magic into wolves, and from a young age. They would use them like slaves and weapons against people they were invading. They were stuck in wolf form but when the spell breaks, they turn back into human form and keep the sbility to shift into wolf form.
