Loup-garoux

[Kit]

The French term for werewolf. Unlike [the werewolf] legends, Loup-Garoux can turn at will. The Full Moon has no effect on them whatsoever. You cannot become a Loup-Garoux. You are either born one, or not. Silver can kill them. So can normal bullets, piercing through the heart-as is done with vampires-, and fire. They are not cursed, but blessed. They are more powerful than man, more powerful than beast. It is said that when they turn, they are not the [disfigured] hairy beasts society has made them out to be, but beautiful creatures. They look just like wolves, but slightly larger. They are mentioned in the book [Blood and Chocolate], and also in the movie of that novel.
