Concerning True Lycanthropes.

Dominic, who I understand is an expert in all things lycanthropic and who has expertly been protecting our town for quite some time, made mention to a small group of associates and I that the werewolves have been breeding, creating something that the witch hunters have dubbed as a True Lycanthrope. This creature he explained is capable of shifting whenever it pleases regardless of the moon. While I didn't personally see it, I understand the witch hunters caught and disposed of one of these lycanthropic babies this past gathering.

As a citizen, I'm concerned that this was the first notice that the public had received of such a threat. How long has the witch hunters been aware of these True Lycanthropes and when were they planning on informing the public?

If such a thing still exists, if one could be captured alive, instead of being slain immediately, I should very much like to examine such a specimen. The potential research value of such a being is astronomical. Should a live capture be performed, I would dearly love to have the chance to study it before those who hunt that which goes bump in the night slay it.

In science and progress,

I agree with Nigel's idea, but if either I bring you one alive or I hear someone else has, I'm going on a murder fest for the rest of them. No mercy.

As a scholar I agree. If this is a new creature perhaps there are physical differences useful in or for identification. I would be happy to draw a visual record if such a capture occurs.

Since another hunter has yet to reply I shall do so until a member of the academy can explain. But please note that since I am no longer a member of the academy I hold no sway in their actions, nor do I even know the specifics of what they plan.

First off let me correct a small mistake in your questioning Bolton however it is completely understandable to make. It is not anything that those corrupted with lycanthropy mate with each other to give birth to an offspring with lycanthropy. What I mentioned was that were creatures are being born naturally without an pressence of the lycanthropic disease. In short, were creatures are being born in nature, which should not be possible but is occurring nonetheless. Now as to this information being shared, yes it has been shared the same moon this was discovered. We discovered this around the same time as the change in the strains of lycanthropy as we used to know. Now these discoveries were announced by Master Galen Von Ritter while in the inn.

As for experimentation on these changes those masters who have started learning the more ancient ways of the witch hunters are currently taking care of it.

Finally Bolton, I thank you for your praise but I would not call myself an expert. I simply know what I am talking about.

While this may seem naieve, if these are a new breed of creature and not affected by the moon cycle, are we sure they have the same evil nature as Lycanthropes? Is it possible to reason with these new creatures, or are they purely viscious beasts?

Having said that, I also remind anyone who seeks to fight and/or capture such creatures to seek druidic protections before doing so, and should you be hurt by one of these beasts, see a druid for cleansing afterwards. I do not know if their bite works the same way as that of a lycanthrope, but better safe than sorry.
