Werewolves of the Superunknown. They were Humans transformed by the will and Essence of a very powerful and ambitious Human. They are basically Humans but with the ability to transform into a bipedal wolf and are as strong, fast, and savage as you’d think. Great as warriors and hunters, near and far. There has been no known Alterbeast Essence users; it’s believed that their beast form has permanently stunted it. Largest settlements include The Gauntlet and the moon Aela.
