Description

Natural born werejaguars bear a striking resemblance to their animalsake in their normal form. Infected werejaguars appear as they did before being infected in normal form. In jaguar form, they appear to be large versions of their given animal, usually a particularly carnivorous breed. In mixed form, they appear to be anthropomorphic jaguars.

Procreation

Follows the mother between most pseudohumans. Outside classification, it varies. Can spread therianthropy through biting & contaminating blood.

Magic

One in a million have soul magic. One in a million have heart magic. Mind magic is possible. Body magic is very effective. Void is possible. Faith is not uncommon.

Special Powers

Werejaguars can shift form between "human," jaguar, & mixed forms. Each form has advantages: "human" form blends with society, jaguar form has all the advantages the animal has (agility, smell, hear, sight), & the mixed form combines the two.

Each werejaguar is born under a specific full moon (one of the three) that determines when they will be susceptible to lunacy. On the full moon, an uncontrolled, berserk transformation takes place, usually to the mixed form. During these periods, they savagely attack & spread their disease.

During other periods, they can control the shift, except during the new moon phase of their particular moon.

Werejaguars have heigtened strength, agility, & senses & an overpowering hunger. They are very skilled at hunting & tend to be extremely dangerous, in accordance with their nature.

If a wound is not made by silver, it will heal quickly. They are extremely resistant to disease & poisons.

Werejaguars also have the ability to control jaguars, calling them with their fierce shriek.

Weaknesses

Silver, magic, or faith is required to kill a werejaguar. Hunting magic or faith is especially effective.

Culture

Werejaguars live blended into human society mostly. Upon the full moon, they either find protection or they go lunatically rampaging. They tend to live near tribals in deep jungles & are worshipped as demigods for their abilities & dangerous natures.

Werejaguars blended into leopardman society simply reverse their primary form. They tend to be viewed as holymen. Those in the wild generally lose their memories of their intelligent forms.
