Werewolves are beastmen from an unknown plane. When not in combat, werewolves take a humanoid form and are only distinguishable from humans by their black sclera and blood. Most werewolves follow Zamorak, but ultimately most are begrudgingly loyal to their vampyric overlords.
Werewolves are notoriously fierce hunters and warriors, making them prized possessions for the vampyres. They are also extremely long-lived, living multiple hundreds of years if they do not fall in battle.
They also suffer from an extremely low birthrate, as well as a high infant mortality rate. Losing even a single werewolf can cause concern in a community. In extreme cases, rogue werewolves can be tracked down even as far as Asgarnia.
Killing a werewolf in sight of other werewolves (who live to tell the tale) will often turn the entire community against the killer, leading to frequent hunts for them and a cruel, slow death upon capture.
