"While the Garou were created by Gaia as her fangs and claws, to keep her safe, they were not her only children."

The Fera, or Changing Breeds, encompass the diverse shapeshifters created by Gaia to fulfill specific ecological roles beyond the warrior Garou: Bastet (werecats) as her eyes, Corax (wereravens) as messengers, Gurahl (werebears) as healers, and many others including the oceanic Rokea and trickster Nuwisha. Their relationship with werewolves remains tense following the ancient War of Rage when many breeds faced near-extinction at Garou hands. Each Fera species brings unique gifts, perspectives, and fighting styles to the ongoing battle against the Wyrm, with their own distinct cultures, social structures, and spiritual connections to Gaia.
