Archetype:Alpha Werebeast

The archetype of a character who is an alpha werebeast. Variation of Alpha Monster with Werebeast Physiology. Not to be confused with Alpha Beastwere.

Also Called[]

Alpha Therianthropes
Therian Alpha
Therian Lord/Lady
Werebeast Lord/Lady

Properties[]

The character is an alpha werebeast, the most powerful form of werebeast imaginable. Unlike most werebeasts, an alpha werebeast may possess unimaginable skill in fearsome dark magic and will command legions of werebeasts.

Also, alpha werebeasts are known to have a certain resistance to silver for prolonged periods of time and have the fewest weaknesses. Furthermore, depending on the user, they may have a demonic nature, thus granting them access to the most unholy of powers.

By definition there can only be one alpha within any level of social hierarchy. Aspiring alphas will compete, sometimes violently, against the incumbent and against each other. The loser of a competition, if they survive, will be forced out of the pack to become a lone wolf.
