^ Yeah D&D has some pretty wild ones. My wife recently bought me the 5th edition DM's guide and Player's Handbook and I was a little upset with the new stuff. It seems as though they've stripped out a lot of things and watered it down to the old 2nd edition type of stuff. It's kind of neat to see a modernized version of it but at the same time it kind of just seems sort of "blah" now.

My fave D&D realm was the Ravenloft setting, which was more gothic and incorporated vamps, weres and zombies among other creatures. Anyway, my point to all that was they had a novel set into that setting called "Heart of Midnight", where I first heard about a wolf-were. Now THAT would be an interesting creature for TW!

BTW, I urge anyone that enjoys fantasy fiction to try and read some of those Ravenloft novels if you ever come across them. They were pretty good reads and definitely solidified my interest in the genre. The ones I read were:
