Ferals

What are they:

Ferals are supposedly descendants of ancient group of people who were infected with lycanthropy. The people supposedly learned how to control their transformation and passed down their transformation abilities. This evolutionary line is only speculation though.

Appearance:

Ferals appear as humans, but have multiple transformations which depending on the transformation appear like beasts depending on the form and animal.

Abilities:

Transformation: Ferals are able to transform into 2-4 forms which vary in appearance depending on what their lycanthropy is. Most ferals only have one type of lycanthropy(Ex. turning into a werewolf or an octopus person), but a few have 2 or even 3 types of lycanthropy(Ex. A bear but instead of a regular bottom half there's the bottom half of a giant rattlesnake).

Types:

There are 2-4 forms are known as partial, secondary, primary, and inhuman.

1. Partial forms: Significantly weaker than the other forms. Partial forms look like their secondary form is trying to escape their skin(Ex. A partial form having a bear claw out of their arm and a snake tail out of their tailbone and otherwise looking normal).
2. Secondary form: Most common form you'll see a feral in and the bare minimum that a feral can access. This form makes the feral look like a more monstrous version of an animal with additional traits and turn a little bit more animalistic mentally. (Ex. A secondary form would be a 8ft bear with razor sharp, poisonous claws, rattle snake fangs and tail, and fur stronger than steel.)
3. Primary forms: Primary forms are only available to 10% of all ferals. This is due to the fact that most of them were hunted during witch trials due to the belief their power came from satan. This form can go into two directions. The first is that they become even more monstrous and gain strange mutations like too many limbs or other body parts. The second form makes them more humanoid and bipedal sometimes (Ex: A werewolf with giant claws).
4. Inhuman form: This form is one-way and once someone goes into this form they turn into a giant, raging monster that almost nothing can beat. Luckily, only 3% of all ferals can turn inhuman. Though there have only been 2 inhuman transformation so far in recorded history, things such as cave painting, geological remnants, and myths it can be theorized that it has happened at least 7 times before recorded history.

Historical presence:

• Was banished to Siberia and started the Feral Prison State
• Started a war with the Mongol Dynasty in the 1400s splitting up the main Mongol Dynasty and what would eventually become the southern area in modern day Belarus
• Feral civil war starting in 1703 to gain independence from various European powers. 2 years within the war the appearance of the first inhuman feral. This feral killed three god given, the top British alchemists at the time, and several mythological creatures.
• Colonized parts of North America
• During WW1 the Free Feral State annexed parts of Russia
• In 1929 the Free Feral State sold their North American territories to the U.S to improve relations
• In WW2 the second occurrence of an Inhuman Feral appears, but luckily was mainly beating up the Axis Powers before dying.
• The Free Feral State adopts communism and later started the Cold War

Related Myths:

• According to Norse mythology, the giant snake, known as Ouroboros, was a creation of Loki that had the ability to be human. At the end of the myth Ouroboros is killed by Thor after Ouroboros lost their humanity. The transformation abilities of Ouroboros appears to somewhat function like ferals. We also have some evidence of this being a true event due to the fact that in the Artic Circle there is a giant snake-like skeleton buried a mile deep with the tip of the tail on the surface.
• According to some theories, a small amount of ferals escaped to North and South America. The only evidence they have to this theory is a myth from the Inuit people about a man who turned into a caribou the size of a mountain with trees for antlers that carried the aurora borealis.
• According to Aztec mythology, a man once turned into a flying snake and replaced the sun. There in no evidence for this.
• There is a dumb theory/myth that claims that the biggest of the five Great Pyramids of Giza is a giant shell of a former inhuman feral. This is utterly stupid. How would a shelled animal die right behind the giant camel humps that are the two smallest pyramids.

Other Evidence for inhuman ferals before history

• In modern day Hungary, there appears to be a giant cave with mile long claw marks that appeared to be from bears and crab legs. These claws were both found outside and inside the cave. The claw marks appear to be tens of thousands of years old. While these marks could be natural formation or just a giant creature, it could also be an ancient feral.
• In modern day USSR there appears to be a cave drawing of a man turning into a giant lion with a woodpecker beak.
• In Antarctica there are tunnels that match mole or worm tunnels.
