Bio

Wereverines (Monstrum Horribilis) are relatively large Therianthrope/ Fanged Beasts that lives mainly in forests, although it has been seen in other habitats. They are feared by people, and for good reason. Not only are they viscous and blood thirsty creatures, but there is a myth, where they can infect other people through a bite. Thankfully, however, they are often kept in check by hunting, either from the hunter's guild, or even natural predators, such as Rathalos and Deviljho (the latter seems to like the taste of Wereverine flesh), And they can't actually infect humans to increase their numbers.

However, in some areas, where said natural predators are absent, such as Westcliff woods, and Howling ruins, the Wereverines are very common, and the guild call such areas "Infested areas". Such areas are reccommended to be avoided if at all possible.

Notes

• They attack mostly with their claws, which will inflict the new ailment: Gored, which will slow down natural recovery rate by a terrifying 65%. The only way to get rid of this status is to wait out the effects.
• They can jump high into the air, usually to land right behind you to get the jump on you. However, they tend to howl before doing the jump, leaving them vulnerable.
• Despite their power, The White Wereverine and Blooded Wereverine are Stronger, the latter being found in G-rank only.
• They are first encountered in High rank quests.
• Their Roar can inflict the Fear Ailment similar to Wilolu 's "Death's gaze".
• The Wereverines are seldom encountered alone, often hunting in packs. Quests often require you to hunt at least 2 to 3 Wereverines or more before the quest is complete.
• They, along with other Therianthropes (with the exception of White Wereverine and Blooded Wereverine), are the only "Small Boss monsters" 
• They seem to be most common in Westcliff woods, where natural predators are not present, giving the Wereverine the role of "Apex Predator" in this area.
• They, along with White Wereverine, and Blooded Wereverine, are the only Therianthropes that can be infected by the Feral Wyvern Virus.
