Werewolves

Werewolves are half-human half-wolf, like magical creatures that feature in Once Upon a Time.

Abilities
These legendary beasts are stronger and faster than humans. A single werewolf is physically capable of ripping a full-grown adult human male to pieces. In the series itself - Red riding hood in her werewolf form was able to take on a group of King George's knights unassisted. Even in human form these beings still possess superhuman abilities such as enhanced speed, strength, sense of smell and impeccable vision. The only thing that can keep a werewolf from transforming during a full moon is a special magical cloak like the one gifted to Red riding hood by her grandmother. Werewolves can gain control of their animal side with time by learning to accept it as a natural part of themselves, rather than fearing or despising it. It is when they believe that they have lost control that they succumb to their curse fully and unintentionally hurt or kill someone. Young werewolves are usually trained by the older and more experienced werewolves, who have mastered control over their animal side, to do the same and how to survive and remain hidden amidst humanfolk. Werewolves normally live in packs and are able to identify another of their kind by their enhanced sense of smell. These creatures are not invincible and can be killed by the same weapons that would kill any human or non-magical beast such as the shot of an arrow or strike of a sword to the heart.
