* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: The werewolves call themselves Morphenkinder and change every night, unrelated to the phase of the moon, although with time they can learn to control the change. It is passed along by bite through something they call the "Chrism", and results in a WolfMan form. Morphenkinder are attracted to evil people and driven to destroy them, while they usually find killing innocent repulsive. Silver has no particular effect on them, and they can be killed by normal weapons, but it takes a lot of damage delivered in a short period of time, or they heal it. Even in human form their senses of hearing and smell are very sharp but increase in the wolf form.
