Werewolf

A Legendary Tier 4 to 5 Fiend

The beast that stalks the night will keep me away from the dark where it may hide. The beast that stalks the day will keep me in the dark where I might hide. The beast that wears a man's shape will keep me by its side because from it I cannot hide.

Preditory Rulers

Werewolf are creatures of nightmare, a nearly unkillable beast with the tactics and cunning of a cruel woman or man. In most places, they stalk they are the apex predator, unable to be slain by their prey with rare that they even get the chance. Alongside their power to rend all manner of mortal and beast, they are particularly adept at taking on other supernatural creatures. In most cases they will drive out all of their potential competition, slain any that are foolish enough to stay behind unless it is able to find some way to dominate it. On those rare occasions that it comes up against something too powerful to best, they will generally either seek out an alliance or find a track to softer plains. They are creatures naturally driven to kill anything weaker than them that does not submit to its control.
Those struck by a Werewolf who take a wound that breaks the skin are likely to suffer from the effects of Lycanthropy, a magical illness that slowly turns the victim into a Lycan. A successful bite from the creature will guarantee this and cause it to progress at a more rapid rate. For a creature to become a Werewolf it must undergo several vigours circumstances and ritual whos practice are mostly lost to time.
As a Werewolf grows in power it will gain an innate control over the population of most canine creatures in its local area; Eventually being able to fully control them by its will alone. Any creature that pledges itself to a Werewolf will suffer the safe effects over time though at a much slower rate. And any Lycans creature by the Werefold or any Lycans under its control will find themselves permanently bound to its will until the time comes at which it is destroyed if that time ever arrives. This is unless the Werewolf itself relinquish control over its servent witch it can do for anything under its thrall, though this is rarely ever done.
Lycans who find selves freed of a Werewolf's control will slowly return to their natural form though they will always retain a portion of this bestial form. There are a few ways to "cure" Lycanthropy without this however they do not result in a return to the creatures original form.

A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing

"The man you meet who is a wolf in control of his own mind will greet you with a nod and a smile, And have no need of invitation to enter your hold."

It is often said that Werewolves originated from the lust for blood and battle of barbarian kings and the rulers of savage tribes. Though even if this is their origin it does not mean that is how they carry themselves now. Many acts as with a veneer of aristocracy, playing the big games in search of new lands to add to its holds. Though many do still act in a manner according to the old ways of the rule of direct threat and violence without any pretending of cooperation.
Werewolves are masters of shapeshifting and can do so at will, though they will grow restless if they are ever in anything but their naturally, wolf-like form. They will often take their prey in the form of a friendly visitor many preferring to take their victims with predatory cunning than unhiding violence.
