Werebeast

Werebeasts are humans with the ability to turn into certain animals

Description
A Werebeast is a being with the power to transform into an animal form or a humanoid animal-like creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse and/or therianthropic affliction via a bite or scratch from a werebeast, or some other means.
