Forms
The form a Máncátír takes entirely depend on where they are on their Cibarecátír Cycle. There are a number of events which trigger transformations.
When one goes completely insane and loses control.
When one's Dlua either overflows or begins to run dry.
When one is in a dire situation and instinctively summon it.
When a member of the pure bloodline summons it.
After enough training, one may be able to learn how to force a transformation, however these forms are a bit weaker than their natural transformations.
Certain spells and potions can cause a transformation as they can trick one's Dlua into believing it is overflowing.
Cibarecátír-Virmens
Skin darkens as it becomes more calloused.
Feral -
Cibarecátír-Demom
Their ears gain a bit of a point, and their canines becomes sharper and slightly elongated. Their eyes gain a tapetum lucidum layer behind the pupil, and their bodies burn three times as many calories as normal. They quickly grow slightly more hair, making them more sensitive to the touch, and their hearing slightly becomes clearer.
This can become problematic for someone with a high metabolism, as they require lots of food to keep a healthy. Due to the bodies higher metabolism, they become hungrier quicker and the sudden shift in heightened senses cause people to become more agitated, therefore more prone to aggression.
Cibarecátír-Nebium
More hair begins to cover the body, now completely, as their muscles grow, so does their overall size, gaining a couple of inches in height, and more than a few pounds in weight. It's during this transformation that they look the most like a hybrid between a human and a monster as their keep a lot of their facial features, albeit a bit exaggerated, with their feet growing twice in length, as they begin to only walk along the balls of their feet. A good portion of their front teeth have become more fang like.
Cibarecátír-Bellara
With their necks growing twice in length, and their face becoming elongated, a large amount of muscle now covers the body, with all of their senses being doubled. It's during this form that we see them begin to shift from the bipedal humans to quadrupedal monsters. All of their teeth have now turned into fangs as their overall size is now a full foot more than their base human form. The hair can now be considered fur.
Cibarecátír-Prodiginem
They grow an extra couple of feet in size and begin to lose a bit of their fur, with now have full on muzzles. Claws which can extend up to four inches in length, and toxic saliva. The odor of a Prodiginem is said to rival a decayed corpse and hold multiple. The strongest of the forms.
Cibarecátír-Prodigura
With almost bear like qualities, this overly sized form loses just a little more of it's fur. The average height for this form is roughly nine foot, with most weighing just above a ton. The toughest of the forms, and most beastly, it is by far the hardest to control, and almost always becomes extremely hostile to all none-Máncátír. They are usually very territorial of their decided home and pack, and for the first four nights enter competitions against other Prodigura for a place among the _ orgies, which take place over the last four nights of the initial Prodigura cycle.
After which they will enter a hibernative state for eight days, after which the males will spend the next eight days protecting and gathering food for the females and other males yet to enter hibernation. While the females will care for any and all young, and continue to rest to ensure impregnation. The birth of which, takes place during their next initial Prodigura cycle.
Cibarecátír-Consummis
The Consummis form has been discovered to be reserved exclusively for the pure bloodline of the original, Wauter dissidents.

Mating
Males typically take on multiple mates, with orgies being a frequent part of mating rituals.
Only specific females, referred to as _, enter one on one relationships. For these _ females, males will enter bouts of combat with each other to prove they're more suited for them.
Pure Bloodline
Not even a handful are known to still be alive, and even of them only one is known to not be imprisoned. [[_]], who rests on the _, one of the highest positions of the Orbis Sanguis Terrarum.
The Consummis form allows one to command the lesser in-controlled Máncátír, their transformed forms are far more intelligent, holding human level intelligence. Aside from this, they can transform on command as well rather than only when necessary. The pure bloodline are naturally stronger and more endurant, as well as holding more heightened senses, with their transformed forms being even further.
Hunting
Hunting is a large part of the Máncátír culture, with there being three forms. Stalking, Toying, Pack.
Migration
Máncátír go into the snowy mountains during the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th part of their Cibarecátír Cycle, starting the climb during the 6th part, and returning to the towns around the mountains during the 10th. The exact reason for this is unknown, however it has been theorized that it's because the living members of the pure bloodline have been imprisoned here and they are drawn to their howls.
Not all Máncátír seem to do this, they instead stay in the areas at the base of the mountain, sometimes killing in the villages, towns, and cities that make up a good portion of Lumea Sangelui.
