Werewolves

"'Long ago, in the Nordic lands, there lived the Great Wolf Fenrir. Before the great war of Ragnarok, he gave birth to Varg, the first werewolf. He soon met a good woman and she gave birth to many sons and daughters, all of them werewolves. He was the best king the wolves ever had.' - Astrid."Werewolves, also known as Lycanthropes, are people born with the ability to transform into large wolves at a full moon.

History
The first werewolf came about in the Norway thousands of years ago. The Great Wolf Fenrir was a very large and powerful wolf. Before he was destined to die in the battle of Ragnarok, Fenrir asexually produced Varg, the first werewolf. Varg would grow up and meet a woman. After they fell in love, she agreed to let Varg turn her into a werewolf and he did. They reproduced and had five sons and five daughters. These many children would get married to others and produce many werewolves.

Alphas
Alpha Werewolves are the leaders of wolf packs. They are the wolves with the most power and the most responsibility. The title of Alpha is given to a worthy werewolf usually by the old Alpha. Sometimes young werewolves can earn the title during a battle.

Betas
Beta werewolves are the right hand werewolves of the Alpha. They are only slightly as big as the Alpha and are considered mighty warriors among their packs. A Beta will usually become an Alpha.

Omegas
Omega werewolves are generally smaller werewolves in the pack. They act as messengers more than warriors and will sometimes choose to eat last.

Alpha Powers
Alpha werewolves have all the basic powers of a regular werewolf but they're slightly amplified. They do however have two special abilities:
