The startling theory that such a thing as a 'weredragon' exists posits even greater forces at work than any could have imagined. Perhaps lycanthropy was never the endgoal in of itself, werewolves and such were merely works in progress - and that the 'curse' was instead some method of... transcendance? Damnation? The reason as to why is hard to determine but one thing is obvious: Weredragons are rare - because the overwhelming personality change that such a powerful curse would inflict upon someone would make it nigh impossible to conceal - but also very difficult to oppose. What's more frightening is the thought that this too is only a step towards some ultimate goal. If so, what could that be? Instinct: To rule

• Transform to pass unnoticed as monster or man
• Bend an element to its will
• Explode forth as an overwhelming surprise
• Act with contempt

Sometimes the curse of lycanthropy can manifest in the most peculiar of ways. Perhaps it was less created by accident but as a direct effect of the experiments of the Sorcerer-Kings of old? Regardless what is known is that monstrous creatures such as gargoyles, the stoneskinned winged reptiles that themselves were legendarily bred for a purpose in the past are among the creatures that lycanthropy can mimic. The result (as far as scant details can allow) has revealed a startling synthesis - something more powerful and more dangerous than either of the two creatures that make up the whole. More dangerously it is infamously difficult to try to survey how many of these lycanthropes exist, after all if they can blend in with the already hidden populace of gargoyles that exist in this world, and few people are prepared to even entertain their existence... where do you even begin? Given the blessing of a more human intellect compared to the relatively bestial gargoyles... what are they planning? Instinct: To guard what is yours

The mysteries of the moonlit depths can be fascinating at times. In certain waters masses of jellyfish can be found and can be quite deadly, but what is more worrying are rumours of those that are both jellyfish and person, cut from the same cloth as werewolves and similar - but more insidious in a way that is hard to imagine. Thankfully they mostly plague coastal regions, but what their motives are or how they operate are still a mystery. But it is said that they are the cause for ships found adrift with no-one aboard...

Only a fool would expect lycanthropy to extend purely to the realm of wolves and men. In colder, especially more watery climes the curse that blends beast and person infects in other ways - the black and white reapers of the deepest seas and oceans are among them.
