Wereeagles

    Most  wereeagles tend to develop rather haughty attitudes, though they are  often focused on following a good philosophy, though many tend to be of a  neutral outlook.  In their humanoid form, wereeagles develop some  specific physical features.  They tend develop sharper features, high  cheek bones, more hawkish snouts or noses, their pupils change to a  vertical line allowing for highly focused highly focused vision and  provide accurate distance vision and accurate distance vision.   Additionally, many grow feathers along the back of their heads down  along the nape of their neck.       In their hybrid form wereeagles are magnificent in their visage.  They sprout powerful, feathered wings, talons  sprout into sharp, hooked claws at the end of their toes. Thick  feathers sprout over most their body, and can range in color from deep  auburn, to gray, to black and white, to a golden hue.  Their head morphs  into that of a powerful eagle, but their bodies remain humanoid in  shape their arms remaining like that of their base species.       

Bhahuuls and Trolls are immune to this therianthropy.

   As theiranthrope, wereeagles are considered the alpha of the  Asphikos (avian therianthropes).  Those with this therianthropy tend to  be found in humans, Syliphs, and Fhen Khanurs.  Myth holds that the  first wereeagles were beings were children of the goddess Atura,  or  perhaps even the deity Daemah bestowed upon some of their priests as  gift for their diligence.  This was then passed down to their children,  and their children's, children through out the ages.
