Boring old werewolf instincts:
Sexual jealousy
Constant aggression
Rigid hierarchy
Must win sports
Homophobia And Sexism Is Normal™
Eat people
Cool new werewolf instincts:
There is no five second rule
Corvids are friends
Hang out as a pack
Karaoke
Gotta pee
Tired: Eating People
Wired: Werewolf Karaoke, and all the locals are really invested in it. So the werewolf pack initiation ceremony is actually just singing “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
Have you thought of bulk club runs for giant jars of peanut butter and hotdogs by the gross? I know some werewolves who have.
Hunting licenses are great and deer are delicious, but city doggos can buy a whole cow and have it delivered already in eatable bits. (Sometimes your meat guy will call you and say “so a guy offered me some ostriches, how many do you want” and then family dinners are glorious.)
Don’t think about werewolves who take turns shifting so they can give each other belly rubs.
1. @thebibliosphere, you need to see this
2. Not to got off on too much of a tangent but consider: At Costco (and probably other bulk stores with butchers but def Costco) you can call in and special order as much beef blood as you want*, so consider:
Werewolf at the checkout at costo with dog toys, a frankly suspicious amount of beef, carob because brownies are great but chocolate is not such a great plan, and an industrial-size lint-roller in her cart. And a giant thing of aresol cheeze whiz. For Cover. And definitely NOT for spraying across the room into her buddy’s mouth while he’s shifted.
And they look over at the cart behing them and it’s a lady with a drum of beef blood, a 12-pack of spf 5000, the order forms for a coffin**, and off-season halloween decorations and-
“Look, I get some cheez. Ya gotta have some cover.” Wolfie sighs. Must be new.
Vamp looks up at them from under thier broad-brimmed hat, and slowly grins, before picking up a high-end videocamera. “I’m shooting a movie, Don’t you know? this is all props and special effects. Your… dog can have a cameo, if I can have your number.”
“Fanged Flirtations” Doesn’t have wide distribution but it’s a cult hit on the cryptid circuit.
New skill: using sign language when mouth is not right shape for words.
