Weretigers are humans under a curse - others claim infected with a disease - that causes them to transform into savage beasts. At the beginning, the transformation only takes place at full moon, and the victim regains its human appearance the next morning. In the course of time, the transformation lasts longer and the full moon is no longer a necessary condition for the transformation. At a certain point, the beast takes over more and more often.
Weretigers are strong and tough, yet not too agile. They are dangerous predators and their appearance is a mix between a tiger and a human being. Like tigers, Weretigers favour warm jungles as homesteads and are territorial and aggressive.White Weretigers are rarer and stronger than their orange-coloured counterparts.
The curse of the Full Moon, as it is frequently called, is usually spread by the infectious bite or scratch of other were-creatures. Forbidden books also tell about methods that allow to turn somebody into a were-creature with the help of dark rites. Some twisted individuals even call the curse upon themselves in the hope of using their new powers to avenge an injustice or insult.
White Weretigers have 6100 hitpoints. They cannot be paralysed. Moreover, they are strong against energy, holy and ice damage. On the other hand, they are weak against earth, fire and physical damage. These creatures can neither be summoned nor convinced. In addition, they are able to sense invisible creatures.
