Were-Folk

From MeiLinWiki

Were-Folk are a kind of magical creature in the world of Scryer's Gulch. Other known magical creatures are ghosts and demons.

Were-Folk are essentially humans who turn into an animal form on the full moon. Were-Folk are generally killed on sight when they are discovered, even if their animal form is essentially harmless, like in the case of Robert Runnels who turns into a large rabbit. The reason is that the condition is so easy to transmit — one bite by a were-animal, and you become a were-animal yourself.
