Lycans

Lycans are clans of supernatural beings that can transform into animals. They are unlike werewolves because they keep reason when they transform, and their transformation is much more like an animal, and less monstrous as a werewolf. There are also multiple clans that can transform into animals other than wolves, whereas werewolves can only transform into a wolf like monster as the name implies. Lycans can transform whenever they want, not just on a full moon.

Clans
There are many clans of lycans, most notable the wolf clan, who were the first clan to make an alliance with the vampires. For millenia the two races had been in a brutal war, but the alliance has finally brought peace. Another notable clan is the Fox clan, where Fjira is from.

Wolves (not to be mistaken with Werewolves)
Both Jake and Fire come from a wolf clan. A clan that is very close knit, they call themselves family. There are multiple wolf clans with their different leaders and territories, but the relationships between these clans is good. All clans work together when there is need for it. Some wolves leave the clan of their own volition, or get exiled when they do not listen to the alpha, or commit a crime. These wolves travel by themselves afterwards, becoming a lone wolf much like their animal counterparts.

Fox (not to be mistaken with Kitsune)
Fjira comes from a fox clan. Not many foxes live together, most preferring small groups or just their own closest kin. They aren't the strongest, but they are fast on their feet and quick witted.
