That's ridiculous to you?

Let me first explain that in our real world, there's myhs about both werepanthers and werecoyotes. (And were-other animals, in fact, weretigers, werelions, etc.)

So, with that in mind, why is it ridiculous? I'm genuinely curious. If you're going to create a world where one myth about people shifting into an animal form is real, why is it ridiculous to include other myhs about people shifting into an animal form? It depends. They seem to be applying the standardized Dungeons & Dragons system of werecreatures here. In real world mythology, there are a lot of different cases of therianthropy. But the specifics of how they worked varied greatly by culture. It was by no means universal that even cases of people transforming into wolves involved getting bitten and/or affected by the phases of the moon.

If they are going to start having different were-whatevers all following roughly the same rules as werewolves then yes, they are following in the footsteps of D&D and True Blood. Which is kind of unimaginative.
