BDE: Attack of the Werebeasts!

Hello, folks!

This is just your convenient heads' up that we are being invaded from Wednesday, April 26th through Friday, April 28th. Invaded by what? Well! Werebeasts!

A whole host of angry, tall, maul-y versions of animals you know and love, to be specific. On Wednesday morning, a massive werepanda will fall from a wrongly-scheduled portal, followed by a host of other weres. They will immediately do what were things do: attack things both living and not. Anything they scratch? Well, it becomes another were-thing!

The werebeasts will cause general havoc around the island as well, as with their rudimentary intelligence they may be tempted to start fires, steal food, and do property damage. Please do let us know below if you're planning to significantly damage a property in some way, but we are open to ideas. Werebeast attacks will get worse and worse as the days progress, until it's all out anarchy on Friday.

Okay, but does that mean I get to be a were-thing?
Absolutely! Anyone who gets scratched by any of the were creatures can pick something from this list*-- which is also, conveniently, the list of werebeasts you're likely to encounter. Your character will then transform into that creature for the duration of the plot, or until one of a few possible events occur.

* ignore all the other info on that page besides the list of possible werebeasts; it's not relevant to our BDE.

Events? Okay, so there's rules. What are the rules?
Werebeasts are stronger, taller, and meaner than their regular counterparts. They can't be killed. You can, however, fight one until it's incapacitated, in which case it will revert to its previous form, perfectly healed. It will then sleep eight to twelve hours, and turn back into a werebeast the next time the moon rises.

The beasts from the portal will turn into adorable dwarves when they're injured in such a way. Werebeasts of Fandom will turn back into themselves. But this is temporary.

If you want to turn someone back permanently before the end of the plot, you have to hunt down and incapacitate the werebeast that turned them. Once you do that, everyone the beast has scratched will turn back into their old selves.

And how do we get rid of them?
You can kind of guess where we're going... the werepanda is the progenitor of all the werebeasts. There will be a big fight between Fandom's finest and the werebeasts on Friday. You can sign up to be one of the folks who takes down the werepanda - depending on sign-ups, we'll pick two to three people via RNG for that final fight.

So there's no research component?
Well, not a specific one. You're encouraged to go do research whatever way you like, and try whatever werebeast cure you can find across the many dimensions Fandom has access to. They just won't work. You're also welcome to figure out the knock out the progenitor = end the curse part. If you do, feel free to bring it up at the town hall meeting on Friday morning.

I've concluded that Travis, actually, needs to be the werehedgie.

He has the hair for it, okay?

Stark turning into a wereraccoon is gonna be funny. And traumatic.

Just adding a werecapybara Graham because it must happen.

And a weresloth Shunsui because someone pointed out that that would be pretty funny, too. 👍

I have nothing to say at this moment except that I am absolutely delighted by that whole list of werebeasts.
