@TarkabarkaHolgy @Da_Gut @juergen_hubert I'm working on a TTRPG and trying to find a set of commonalities. I've also written a bad, short, werewolf novel that needs work where I put some of my ideas. I know I rushed the ending. Lately I've been trying to track down people 'born' as werewolves and those changed by bites in folklore. As opposed to the wolfskin/token, or straight-up cursed, among other things. I want to make something very different from what's out there now.

@Silverlion @TarkabarkaHolgy @Da_Gut Well, it's not unprecedented in German folklore.

This ties in with the "animal transformation as spirit projection" thing that pops up frequently in German folklore - which is often seen as an innate ability or curse. Though it's not actually a "bloodline" thing - the circumstances of one's birth (such as being the seventh child, or born on certain dates) matter, but not one's parents.

Transcript: "Other beliefs from the Saterland claim that Walriders are all the girls who sucked their mother’s breast after the death of a later-born girl. In the Jeverland region it is claimed that among seven daughters there will always be one Walrider, *just like there will always be a werewolf among seven sons.* According to this notion, the Walrider does not engage in her activities in the flesh and blood, but instead only her spirit moves abroad. If the appropriate time has come, whether night or day, the spirit gets out and leaves the body behind as if it was lifeless. But in such stories corporealness and incorporealness meld into each other."

@juergen_hubert @TarkabarkaHolgy @Da_Gut The Seventh Son curse is actually common in Central/South America, where they're called lobisomen or something similar.
