The Beast is a supernatural creature that has lurked in the bloodlines of people since the discovery of witchcrafts. It is believed to have originated from wolves domesticated by people who practiced black magic and witchcraft.
Since the first bite in 1439, it spread slow and steady. About 100 people a year are bitten by another person possessing these powers or a descendant of a dark wolf.
Since the 1600s, few methods of suppression were discovered.
A sure method of full supression. The presence of a holy object + pure silver hurts the impure creature, thus subduing the beast inside. Because it is a lunar metal, it satiates its need to connect with the moon.
It is much harder to come across a purely silver one in modern times because of newer production methods that reduce the cost.
This method only supresses MOST of the features. Most commonly, the ears and/or tail are still present on the individual. It does this because it is a pure metal and an impure symbol mixed together, making it half/half.
These are easier to come by—but there is a risk! There are scams targeted towards these poor individuals, being made with fake or not enough silver to ward off the impurities.
