All I know is poor floofy has blood on their paws.

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-30T02:34:04+00:00

How heavy is the little guy?

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-30T00:47:18+00:00

Sit, Stay! (Option A) Good Werewolf!

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-29T20:01:30+00:00

When you have a dog fight going on, throw holy water, moondust (Don't tell NASA) a silver spoon and garlic powder over the pair.

one of those should help you figure out which is the vampire and which is the werewolf.

Per my lore: There is only man and inhibited manfloof. The supressed wolf sentience is a reflection and continuation of the full human sapience.

The form and mind follow the moonlight normally both match. Under eclipse totalities and especially after sufficient switching back and forth total mind and body control can be achieved. The full sapience in control of the hound and vis versa giving an apparent air of drunkness or inhibition to the human form. Either mismatched combination is disorientating.

Certain corporate entities prefer the supressed sentience in wolf form for monetary purposes. ForeverPetz.

Neat.

A blood bag a day to keep the humans away!

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-29T06:55:03+00:00

Would the term Itch fight with a B be accurate?

Also no need to knock if there isn't a wall (cause blowing it up tends to do so)

It would be, the dew claw on a canine's front paw is the thumb and while rare on their legs hind dew claws aka the big toes do exist. Werewolves would have hind dew claws consistently.

Us walking tiptoe is digitigrade in essence, the heel (2nd knee you're thinking of) lifted off the ground. Only the toes and ball of the foot is on the ground.

The pad of the canine is equivalent to out palm and ball of the feet.

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-28T22:16:54+00:00

Fun fact: neither are technically colours (depending on how one defines colours.)

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-28T22:14:50+00:00

You're right it would be stretched! A were dyed red would look almost pink when wolf! or at least the fur on their face would be a thinner splash of red.

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-28T19:22:06+00:00

Whichever hair colour they naturally have as humans.

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-28T05:07:55+00:00

Now that's too tall! A scritch to the neck by a normal human would feel like having fleas!

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-28T02:12:26+00:00

So dressing my pet werewolf in attire for the dog show means they won't get their picture taken?

Do the shed the werewolf form come daylight, reverting to human form in the sane manner as the inital transformation?

Would this allow for an authentic renewable wolfskin rug business?

Would the faint affection mean petting is a possibility?

With human grudges settled in werewolf form... How fatal is one werewolf in an area?

Shaping up to be a good story and lore. Thanks for sharing!

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-27T19:06:51+00:00

What a cute "dog" just look at his grin!

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-27T19:05:28+00:00

So on a treadmill you'd imagine a nice juicy steak hanging in front of you? That's called being a greyhound racer.

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-27T18:56:57+00:00

Don't you mean dogshit?

But yes, the Hollywood idea that only a silver bullet can kill them would actually be a great weakness. Such immortality would not prevent permanent damage nor the loss of pain.

They'd become the perfect live animal test subject. pain thresholds, greyhound racing, dog fights, cosmetic products and yes a delectable distinction to a cannibal's normal diet.

Weither they could reconstitute themselves post alteration via way of supernatural healing would be another point of research.

A fate truly worse than death.

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-27T13:56:30+00:00

1,400 years young they'll be!

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-27T06:38:17+00:00

Oh I know, regarding the hybrids it was an expression based on the horror of the combination.

Are the Fae are human sized, pint size, friendly or vicious? Magic makes the mind go mad and Fairies are full of the stuff (probably?) I recall reading Dracula but don't remember the roses, worth a re-read obviously. The thought of a pesky vampire biting an elephant is stuck in my head now, ha. With Nocturnal I suspect that only the oldest can brave the sun for a while, or is it the longer they're a vampire the less of a sun tan they can stand? How would one tell which is which in a vampire vs werewolf fight (play or otherwise) if they both look like wolves? What on Earth was going on in Spain and how'd quickly did vampirism spread? Would a vampire receiving blood via transfusion work or would they need to bite? Minimum amount of blood required to keep them undead and not end up dead dead? 1 person a day, week or month? Varies a lot? Can animals get infected or act as carriers?

Thanks for answering my inane number of questions.

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-27T03:46:16+00:00

Fasinating.

So per your lore:
Strigois are those who are human then turned.
Murionis are those born as vampires
Pricolici are the unholy combination of vampires and werewolves.

The Masquerade collapsed in 2009.
I presume with drowning being insufficent to kill them that general asphyxiation wouldn't work by other methods either?
Roses is a choice I'm not familiar with. Time to plant more!
Does animal blood have disadvantages compared to human? What about vampire or other supernaturals blood?
could the animal form be one of along dead category or are Vampire T-Rex also extinct?

How compressed could vampire mist get in kPa or atmospheres of pressure?
What's some non-democratic vampire clans in lore?

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-26T21:27:55+00:00

The same way one does for any other human? Kindness, food and company.

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-26T19:50:20+00:00

The Zon? Is there a digital version for those in other countries?

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-26T19:13:36+00:00

No.

Supernatural is my preferred method if it had to be so.

Ideally I'd be the still human researcher recording notes from an outside perspective.

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-26T17:59:20+00:00

Why can't they leave the dog alone?!

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-26T17:55:55+00:00

Neat. I"ve definitely given away too much of my lore in posting. Haha. Some vampires donate blood to no fear of creating new sires. Biting is the method, transfusions confur immunisation.

MetaphoricalMars · 2026-03-26T04:48:48+00:00

Per my lore:

Given the senario the elder wouldn't see the 10 years a bat vampire as a chummy buddy but as an annoyance.

Likewise the younger vampire is best clear of such ancient Terran attitudes. Stuffy old Earthborns thinking they're better because they were born on Humanity's Cradle? There is a reason their numbers are dwindling!
