Werewolf

Werewolves, along with vampires, were the most common humanoids in Ki prior to the opening of the gates and ensuing flood of other species from An. Like vampires, they offered their friendship to humanity following the Great Rising; like vampires, their friendship seems to come at a cost. Most human communities find themselves with a local werewolf pack to help protect their home in exchange for goods and services — those who don't often find themselves wishing they did.

Though not as long-lived as vampires, who may or may not be immortal, werewolves tend to live longer than humans, with born wolves living longer than bitten wolves. The lifespan of a born wolf is roughly equivalent to that of a dwarf.
