Board Thread:False Info and Speculative Discussion/@comment-4091815-20160202180218/@comment-6383956-20160204020410

And this discussion is yet another area where I wish this Wiki's official stance would just be "We don't know". If you only have one member of species to use as an example (werecoyote, werejaguar, hellhound, etc) you can't form any hard and fast rules.

What you can say, canonically, is that there is at least one example of such-and-such a thing in the species. It's suggestive but it's nothing more than that.
