|---|
Overview
Exhibiting insurmountable strength, speed, and powers of recovery, werewolves become formidable foes, often misunderstood and feared. Despite their horrific behavior, many struggle to maintain their humanity by constantly battling their most beastly impulses. This tension is played out brilliantly throughout Supernatural, giving these characters life and vitality.
Supernatural is dominated by werewolf clans that form their own communities and follow a clear hierarchy. This not only adds depth to their character, but also presents them as a social entity trying to get along. Their knowledge develops over the course of the series, allowing viewers to explore their mythology with insight.
From a broader perspective, the werewolf faction is an essential part of the Supernatural universe, contributing greatly to its compelling story, diverse character dynamics, and relentlessly tense atmosphere. They remain compelling characters in well-rounded stories, offering intriguing challenges to the protagonists and bringing an intriguing wild element to this dark and enchanting world.
History
Over time, they spread throughout the world, hiding in the shadows of society, quietly increasing their numbers by biting and breeding, thus hiding their existence from the rest of humanity. They have developed sharp instincts, incredible strength and speed, an almost unstoppable healing factor, and their lifespans are much longer than normal humans, making them extremely deadly predators. For centuries, werewolves lived unchecked, their numbers grew and their influence spread. However, the advent of organized hunting parties in the Middle Ages led to warfare that continues to this day. Armed with the knowledge and weapons to kill werewolves, these hunters became a thorn in the side of werewolf packs.
In the 20th century, the werewolves of the supernatural universe noticed a change in their genetic makeup, causing their transformation cycle to change dramatically. This allowed them to change at will, greatly increasing their power and making them even more dangerous. Despite numerous conflicts and attempts to exterminate them, werewolves have survived and adapted, making them one of the most resilient creatures in the supernatural universe. Werewolves have a history of darkness, resilience and survival, making them a force to be reckoned with. But they also remind us of humanity's roots and the monsters they themselves can become under the right circumstances.

Geography
However, there are cases where werewolves tend to settle more in human-populated areas, often forming packs. When they integrate into human society, they tend to choose their location strategically, preferring small towns or cities near natural refuges. They act both as a food source for unsuspecting humans and animals, and as shelter when transformed.
Some packs display territorial behavior, marking and defending their preferred regions from other supernatural beings or human hunters. In such cases, their geography is directly related to their survival, providing them with the protection and resources they need.
However, some werewolves deviate from this pack mentality, preferring isolation over community. These lone wolves are distributed throughout the world and demonstrate their adaptability to different geographical conditions. Whether they're plowing through the dense undergrowth of North American forests, slogging through the sandy soil of African deserts, or traversing the icy peaks of the Himalayas, their connection to the geography of their environment remains deeply rooted.
