The werecoyote is a cunning and adaptable lycanthrope that embodies the traits of both humans and coyotes. Known for their agility and stealth, werecoyotes are often found in arid regions and open plains, where they hunt under the cover of darkness. In their humanoid form, they appear as ordinary humans, but their heightened senses and keen instincts hint at their true nature. When transformed into their hybrid or full coyote form, werecoyotes become fearsome predators. Their eyes glow with a predatory gleam, and their movements are fluid and silent. In hybrid form, they possess sharp claws and fangs, capable of delivering devastating attacks. They can swiftly shift between forms, making them unpredictable and dangerous opponents. Werecoyotes are known for their pack mentality, often working together to outsmart and overwhelm their enemies. They have an uncanny ability to track their prey and navigate through the wilderness with ease. While not inherently evil, werecoyotes can be fierce and territorial, especially when threatened. In folklore, werecoyotes are sometimes seen as tricksters, using their shape-shifting abilities to deceive and manipulate. Despite their fearsome reputation, they are also revered for their cunning and resourcefulness.
