Lyra as a werewolf

In folklore, a werewolf is a human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf. Typically, it is recounted that a curse or affliction induces the transformation involuntarily on every night of a full moon.

History

In a simulation of Atlantis created by the Isu Aletheia in the 5th century BCE, the misthios Kassandra encountered a woman named Lyra, who became a werewolf as a result of experimentations conducted by Aita through the Olympos Project.

During the 9th century, the fanatical druidic cult known as the Children of Danu used a concoction which, when activated, deployed a fog that gave their wolf companions the illusory appearance of a bipedal, muscled werewolf with deer antlers, which they called a púca.
