Brood of the Purple Moon
What werebeasts are part of the brood? It says in Gaz4 that they are all temperate forest critters, so that would be bears and...what? Tigers are tropical, rats are urban, so that leaves...ravens? It's described as being a loose assocation of many different phenotypes, so I'm looking for more animal phenotypes that would be appropriate for the group.

Werefoxes (perhaps a different type than the all female, all vicious silver ones?)? Wereboars? (Bears and pigs are related, after all).

Were....elk? :p

according to this:
http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/exhibits/b ... #temperate
typical temperate forest fauna include:
squirrels, rabbits, skunks, birds, deer, mountain lion, bobcat, timber wolf, fox, and black bear.
so, looks like werewolf, werefox, werebear, wereraven, werepanther (mountain lion coloring) and maybe some homebrew werebobcat.
Though that page lists them as tropical, I have seen small bats in temperate forests, so werebat is not out of the question either.

I think they put in the "carnivores only" rule to nip the "Moose bit my sister" thing in the bud.

You can have wererats as part of the Brood as rats do live in forests as well as urban areas although you could tweak them to reflect this background.
Werecoyote is homebrewable and appropriate. I'd also argue that weretigers are possible to use as they used to range in temperate zones before humans hunted them to near extinction.
(Side note- you can use weretigers in the frozen reaches as they can and do live in the frozen forests of eastern Russia)

Ha! My friend Rob used a were-moose in a RL game. Of course, one call lightning spell later, he regreted introducing said were-moose on a a''dark and stormy night.'' Yeah, spells happen!

Aright, I've brainstormed and I'm going to add the weresnake from CotN and the wereglutton from BoS. Snake, boar, bear, bat, wolverine, panther, badger and rat. Sounds good to me!
