Werecreatures (also known as Therianthropes, Therians or Shape-Shifters) are the rulers of Lyssia they are human and animal hybrids that can change into various animal forms. The males are known as Werelords and the females are known as Wereladies. Werecreatures usually mate with other Werecreatures, but on some occasions they will mate with a human. The offspring will usually inherit the abilities to turn into an animal. Cletus Bartholomew.

The paternal line is the main factor in inheriting Therianthropy, but on very rare occasions the maternal line will become the dominant one; Casper is so far the only known Werelord who inherited his therianthropy from his mother, the werehawk Lady Shah, while his father, Count Vega, is a wereshark.

The main difference from regular humans(other than the shape-shifting) is the capability of rapidly healing wounds that would be fatal for a normal person, although if enough injuries are sustained, they could die. Injuries from a fight among werecreatures can also be fatal, and the death is immediate if they're decapitated or stabbed in the heart.

The biggest weakness to all werecreatures is silver, an injury cannot be healed immediately, a well aimed blow can be fatal and not even the strongest skins are immune to getting pierced. Silver restraints prevent werecreatures from transforming, and if they try they could severe their limbs or even get decapitated. Silver is so deadly to Werelords that during the reign of Wergar, it was outlawed, its mining being punishable by death and possession of silver items could be punished with a life in prison. The Catlords of Bast don't share the same thoughts about silver, King Leopold allowed some elite soldiers of the Lionguard to own silver-blessed weapons. Werecreature usually have abilities linked to their animal genetics.

1. Exceptional Strength: Many werecreatures possess immense physical strength, a common trait that varies in magnitude depending on the species. For instance, werelions and werebears are renowned for their sheer power, capable of overpowering multiple adversaries and performing extraordinary feats of strength. This physical prowess is a defining characteristic that often symbolizes dominance and leadership within their respective societies.

2. Agility and Speed: Werecreatures like werewolves and weresharks exhibit remarkable agility and speed. Werewolves, with their lithe and muscular build, can move swiftly through forests, making them excellent hunters and formidable opponents in battle. Similarly, weresharks are adept at navigating aquatic environments, utilizing their streamlined bodies and powerful tails to reach high speeds and outmaneuver predators and prey.

This endurance is particularly evident in creatures like werebears and werewolves, who can engage in extended hunts or battles without succumbing to fatigue. This trait is crucial for their survival and effectiveness in their respective environments.

1. Heightened Sense of Smell: A keen sense of smell is a universal trait among many werecreatures. Werewolves, for instance, can detect scents from great distances, allowing them to track prey or identify potential threats. This enhanced olfactory ability is essential for hunting, navigation, and environmental awareness.

2. Superior Hearing: Enhanced hearing is another common sensory ability, providing werecreatures with heightened vigilance and awareness of their surroundings. Werecreatures like werewolves and weresharks can detect sounds that are inaudible to humans, making it easier to anticipate danger or locate prey. This superior hearing also aids in communication within their communities.

3. Enhanced Vision: Many werecreatures possess enhanced vision, allowing them to see clearly in low-light conditions. Werecats, for example, have excellent night vision, enabling them to hunt effectively after dark. This ability is crucial for their predatory lifestyle and survival in diverse environments.

1. Accelerated Healing: One of the most notable abilities of werecreatures is their accelerated healing. Werecreatures can recover from injuries much faster than humans, healing wounds that would otherwise be fatal. This rapid healing is a crucial aspect of their survivability, allowing them to withstand severe injuries and continue fighting or performing necessary tasks.

Their robust immune systems protect them from common illnesses, ensuring their ability to remain active and productive members of their society. This resistance contributes to their reputation as hardy and resilient creatures.

1. Shapeshifting: The ability to transform between human and animal forms is the quintessential characteristic of werecreatures in "Wereworld." This shapeshifting ability allows them to harness the strengths of both forms, adapting to various situations and challenges. In their human form, werecreatures retain their enhanced senses and physical abilities, while their animal form grants them increased strength, speed, and combat prowess.

2. Partial Transformation: Werecreatures can also undergo partial transformations, selectively altering specific parts of their bodies. This ability is often used strategically in combat, allowing werecreatures to extend claws, enhance their strength, or improve their senses without fully shifting into animal form. Partial transformation provides versatility and adaptability, making werecreatures formidable opponents in any scenario.
