Thank you.  ^ ^<br/><br/>I suggest Anita Blake if you want vampire, and were-creature knowledge.  Besides the slightly erotic tint to some of her books, they are actually pretty well versed in werelore.<br/><br/>o1.  Common things that are harmful to weres are silver, decapitation, and even chopping off a limb will slow them down for a while.<br/><br/>o2.  Mating is considered marriage...  Usually there is only one true mate for a werewolf, that's the common thought.  Sometimes, mating is based on who is the strongest of the pack.  There are even times when there will be fights to see who gets to mate with who.<br/><br/>o3.  I know weres to have two to three forms, depending on their strength.  Usually there is the fully human form, the partial form (human/wolf... An anthro of sorts), and the fully animal form.  They can lift the weight of cars in both forms.  They also have enhanced speed, sight, smell, etc.<br/><br/>o4.  Werewolf packs are formed by area usually.  The strongest gathers the weaker to them, leading them and helping them adapt to society.  There is normally a unique smell that says pack to wolves... The smell of the forest, or something alike.<br/><br/>o5.  Werewolves do not have rituals.  The females go into heat, but they are partially human, so you have to take things like that into account.<br/><br/>o6.  Its survival of the fittest still.  The ones that adapt and blend survive.  Weres adapt with their surroundings...  There are always the older kind, and I mean<strong>old</strong>that will shun the massive technology changes.
