Therianthropy: the ability of a creature to change form from man to beast and/or vice versa.
While the most common examples are werewolves, many other cases exist – from selkies to cat people, snake women to Manimal.
This is your opportunity to create a brand new creature, to breathe new life into an old idea, or to tell a tale of true lunacy.
While stories can be fantastical or comedic, the main emphasis should be on horror.
