7* FurAgainstFang: The vampires and werewolves do not get on well; some claim this is because the two demon species which originally infected humans, giving rise to the vampires and werewolves, were rivaling species who hated one another. This seems to just be an excuse though as a lot vampires and werewolves get along fine as soon as they let go of their prejudice.
8* HalfHumanHybrid: Werewolves can have children with humans. Their children are humans with some wolfie traits, including increased speed and strength.
9* KlingonPromotion: This is how a werewolf ascends as leader of a pack. A werewolf can challenge their leader for a fight to the death. Whoever survives is declared the leader.
10* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: In the series, werewolves can either be turned or born. Humans who are bitten by werewolves will turn the next full moon, during which they will have their first painful transformation. Werewolves will continually have involuntary transformation during full moons, but they can control their transformation outside them. Among Downworlders, werewolves are the closest to humans, since they are mortal and can pass as humans pretty easily. They are also capable of having children; werewolf-werewolf children inevitably become werewolves, while human-werewolf children are humans with an increased physical strength.
11* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: The first transformation is the most dangerous for werewolves. No matter how much self-control they had as humans, they will lash out and attack anyone they meet. Afterwards, transformation tends to be less painful since they have become used to it.
