Shapeshifters

A shapeshifter is a person or being that can change its shape or form and become or appear to become something else. This other form is typically that of an animal.

All lycanthropes are shapeshifters but not all shapeshifters are lycanthropes. In the AB universe there are four main types of shapeshifters.

Weres: Humans infected by a virus that forces them to shift with the full moon. Weres come in many different animal varieties.
Inherited: Humans born with the ability to shapeshift. This ability is generally not affected or governed by the full moon.
Cursed: Humans who were cursed by a witch or other magical being.
Spell: An additional type of shapeshifting that is accomplished by dark magic and the skin of a true were.

Although there have always been various alliances between the larger sized were groups in St. Louis, it wasn't until the end of NiC, that all of the many different species of shapeshifters in St. Louis banded together and created a were Coalition to support all the were types.

Its primary function is to provide a single point of contact for assistance and support to the were community. It also acts as an information source for the human community about lycanthropy. Micah Callahan is the coordinator.
