Don't forget the hyenas. wink Personally, I like the rats most.
I guess a were can be any animal, or at least it seems that way. Maybe an animal has to carry lycanthropy then give it to a human before there can be weres of it. You know, like how humans might've gotten HIV from SIV-infected monkeys. Couldn't get it if it weren't for interaction with monkeys. I, uh, think. LKH should start writing essays on her creatures, I swear.

According to LKH, not any animal can be a were. She only draws off of creatures that she has found in existing mythology, and aside from the swans, only predators can be weres.
The way she explained it was that people only developed legends of shapeshifters or lycanthropy if the animal could already kill them and was already a threat.
Thus, no werepenguins... crying

Oh well. Maybe if it was a carnivorous, predatory penguin? Eh? Eh? surprised Perhaps it's something to do with social structures? But that wouldn't make sense since leopards are solitary creatures in the wild. I've definitely heard of most of the shifters she's mentioned in other mythologies, but some of them are just.... confused yeah

Sometimes I think preternatural writers come up with explanations after they create their creatures. xd

*Actually, that's coyotes. Sorry.the were-fox (or somthing similar) is prevalent in japanese culture (read kitsune) rats will eat anything that is incapable of defending itself including unconsciance humans. I personally like the idea of pan-weres.

Pretty much mythology and the animals at the top of the food chain, yep. Pan-weres are pretty interesting, but I've always had a penchant for big cats. x3

Sorry, but using both realistic and mythological approaches irritates and confuses me. >_< LKH does such a good job of making it seem like weres could really exist, choosing them because of mythology kind of ruins the illusion. *shrug*
Pardon my ignorance, but what is a pan-were? Someone with multiple forms of lycanthropy?
