Category:Werewolf



Werewolves are considered to be cursed beings, having suffered from the bite of someone else that was infected. The werewolf gene never relinquishes its victim, and they transform on the night of a full moon, at the mercy of their hunger and rage. Some werewolves have grown into an understanding of how to control their more savage side, but most fall victim to their innate, animal desires, and they have long since been a source of fear and anxiety to the human population.

Facing prejudice and fear, werewolves have been relocated to Nuctroff by the Ministry. Any werewolf living outside of the reservation must undergo a trial period of observation and have appropriate Ministry approval. This is not to say that there aren't a few rogues. Werewolves are also thought to be employed by the Ministry as assassins, but the claim is unproven. Turning into wolves at the sight of the full moon, werewolves are considered highly dangerous during the nights which hold the full white orb, and are forbidden from leaving their town during such times.

Werewolves are forbidden from turning children. Werewolf children are able to attend Hogwarts and are required to live in a special dorm regardless of house. In the event that student is turned into a werewolf, they may be asked to leave school, as young werewolves can be highly dangerous to those around them. Any werewolf revealed to have turned a child is sentenced to immediate death.
