Beast Fables: An Introduction to Biology/Ecology influenced Werepeople
So, for the past week, I’ve been designing and building lore for the same world as my Merfolk! Thank you so much for your support. It was supposed to be for Mermay, but I just HAD to expand on the world more.
Merfolk series: Part 1
In the world of Beast Fables, Werefolk (also known as Werebeasts, Beastfolk and Werepeople), they’re the land counterparts to the merfolk, and instead of creatures of the say, and having a permanent oceanic/riverine look, they have both a ‘regular’ human form and a beastial half.
To “awaken” their beastial halves, there needs to be a ‘catalyst’ to do so. From the light of the moon for a werewolf, or just basking in the sun for a werecrocodile, or exposure to darkness for weremoles and wereshrews.
Werefolk occupy almost all the niches on the surface, from the sky to the caves, from deserts to tundra. Wherever there’s a solid surface, there’s bound to be werefolk.
The technology of the surface dwellers are akin to Revolutonary America, Regency England and the early Industrial Revolution.
