Garou have different breeds that are determined by the breed of the mother. Breed form plays a large roll in the early life of a cub, as they are left to grow with their family or pack until the time of the first change. At such time, they are introduced to the real world as the Garou see it, and taught the customs and history of their heritage. |

Lupus
are the Garou that are born of wolf stock. As wolf numbers decrease, so
does the population of Lupus Garou. Those of this breed are closer to
Gaia, but they have a harder time dealing with the modern world. Many
Lupine Garou look down upon those that are human born because humans
have caused the loss of their hunting grounds and kinfolk.
Werewolves
born to humans are the most common of all Garou. They relate better with
people, cities, technology, and abstract ideas. They are not strong as
Lupine Garou, and it is easy to forget that they must have a balance
between their wolf and man natures. Many Homid Garou see their Lupine
relatives as backwards country folk. Some even believe that they are the
next step of evolution and the Lupine Garou are outdated.
One
of the strongest laws prohibits mating between Garou. The recessive
genes produce a sterile, deformed child that can change forms to Crinos
from birth. In times distant past, such young were put to death. In
modern times, Gaia needs as many warriors as she can find and the
offspring of such a union are allowed to live if they are viable. They
are commonly put down. They are a constant reminder of the shameful act
that they had nothing to do with.
