Types Of Werewolves

The "Others"

From the movies Night watch & Day watch. They are Russian movies and even though they are confusing as hell in the end everything pieces together. I do recommend these. Also the trailers for the movies are not really what the film is like as it just shows all the action scenes.

This is a trailer for a second movie and it does depict it as an action movie but it is more of a thriller than action.

(Couldn't find an actual image but the second pic is basically sort of what their eyes do when they move. It is in the vid I linked for a second at 1:34)

Its really hard explaining what these are due to the fact the films aren't very well known and have no fan base.

Most magical others obtain their powers by being cursed by a witch. There are light and dark others. Dark others feed on blood while light others feed on energy. The "Others" have the ability to enter the "Gloom" or "Twilight". The Gloom, although a realm of existence beneath the human or ordinary world and therefore not sentient, indiscriminately absorbs energy from whomever enters it. An Other enters the Gloom by stepping into their own shadow, it then starts to drain their strength. The only way to survive in the Twilight is to slowly feed it energy. The skill required to stay (or even enter) into the Twilight for an extended period of time is acquired through formal training. Others who lack this skill yet still manage to enter the Twilight are at an increased risk of being completely drained of their life and energy.

Magicians of low levels are very common among both the Light side and Dark Others. Magicians may specialise in the power of Foresight, Healing, Cursing and Hexing, Battle Magic, or any number of other abilities. Powerful magicians are known to live abnormally long lives.

Enchantress/Sorceress Terms for a female magician, the difference between enchantresses and witches lies in the way their powers manifest - witches use charms, rhymes and various external aids to work their magic, whereas enchantresses use gestures and incantation to direct Gloom power.

Witches differ from magicians in that they do not draw power directly from the Gloom, instead they create artifacts which slowly accumulate large amounts of power over time. This is an advantage and a disadvantage. If a witch wishes to move to the higher levels of power, she must sacrifice the youthful appearance enchantresses maintain (though they may use illusion to appear however they wish).

Warlock, A male Witch (Dark Other)

Devonas are human of extremely low intelligence whom a powerful magician invests with large amounts of power in order to make them a servant. It is not a socially acceptable status for the individual concerned, who often finds himself shunned and rejected.

Golem Are a creature created from various materials (e.g. clay, wood, metal) by a magician for a particular purpose, such as guarding

Shapeshifters can change into animal form, often used for magical battle. Shapeshifters seem to choose one animal type for their transformations, such as a cat, lizard, bear, etc. Shapeshifters are found in both Light and Dark Others, although the term shapeshifter is usually used for Dark Others, whereas many Light Others prefer the term 'transformer magician'. They can only shapeshift into one specific species of their chosen animal.

Werewolves are Dark subspecies of Shapeshifters. Large, hairy canine forms of human legend, they possess a brutal strength and formidable teeth and claws. Their abilities are not impacted by the full moon, but they receive high increases in power in intervals of roughly one month (the onset of which they are said to be able to 'sense' around twelve or so hours before it happens). During this time, they are much more susceptible to the Gloom and may refuse to revert to human form, a condition known as Lunacy.

Vampires are considered Low Others, and especially disrespected among their fellow Dark Others. Vampires can be born or turned, but all are undead and soul-less. All vampires are born with a hunger for blood; some choose to drink only donated blood but hunting licenses for humans can be obtained. They are able to eat normal human food, but it is tasteless to them. They can go out in daylight, but they do not like strong sunlight. Male vampires can only father one child.
