Werewolf - Disadvantages

Disadvantages of Being a Werewolf

Before deciding to become a werewolf, you should take into account the drawbacks that it will bring:

- Need to keep the secret

- Going into heat once per year

- Higher need for companionship

- Dogs and wolves are more attracted to you (especially when in heat)

- Need to eat large amounts of meat to keep up with higher metabolism

- Fleas

- Slightly higher aggression – can be controlled, however

- Shifting can be painful – but less painful the more often you do it

- Inability to sweat in anthro and wolf forms

- Human voice garbled in wolf form – however you are still able to speak (with effort)

- Need to eat soon after shifting into anthro form, to replenish spent energy reserves

- Loud and high-pitched sounds can be overpowering

- Balance in anthro form is a little challenging at first, due to digitigrade feet – remedied by use of your tail

- Your emotions are easier to read in anthro and wolf forms, because of your tail and swiveling ears

- Turning someone else into a werewolf through biting is a risky procedure that may result in the victim bleeding to death or becoming immune to a werewolf bite

- Bulky fingers in anthro and wolf form limit their use – not as much in anthro form

- Lack of opposable thumbs in wolf form

- Claws in anthro and wolf forms are sharp and may cause harm to unprotected skin

- Long tongue and sharp teeth in anthro and wolf forms increase chances that you'll bite your tongue

- Wet dog smell when damp in anthro and wolf forms

- Caffeine an chocolate can make you sick in anthro form, and are possibly fatal in wolf form.

These are just a few of the problems being a werewolf will present.  If you are having any second thoughts about being turned into a werewolf, please do not go through with it until you have gotten over your doubts.
