and no, they're not all canine, there are cats and other predatory things in there. Other strains of non-predatory lycanthropy might have existed before and survived in some very remote places, but if that's the case no one knows about them. The big thing though is that wolves always want to have a pack, so if they don't find one they'll create one via contaminating; their urge to turn other people is stronger than solitary species. also due to their social order thing they work better for military purposes, so they've been more widely used; cat weres tend to care mostly about their own dinner and don't worry much about society.
but the local pack i think is all wolf. there might be a couple other local weres who are other animals but. hm. they wouldn't be included in the group.
... i kinda want werehyenas now. especially because of the fun anatomy and female-dominated thing. >__>
