Koerakoonlased A tribe of vicious cannibal creatures from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.  They live in the northern icy wastes but kidnap humans for food.  Described as dog headed humans, or as split down the middle with one half human, one half canine with a single eye in the center of their foreheads.

Obviously some of the east european werewolves are into incest...

Leopard Various men who become leopards, leopards who become men stories in Africa. 

Lion In Thailand and Africa it is believed Lions mated with human women and founded several dynasties.  In Thailand they also taught hunting and spellcraft.  In the Sudan women descended from lions are cannibals.

Mali In Gavoland in Mali there is a shapeshifting hippo sorceress capable of melting blades that strike her, and taking on 120 dogs at a time.  It requires a paralyzation spell to kill her.

Masalai Animal spirits in Melanesia that occasionally become demons and take the form of humans.Some are kind, some are cannibals, most seduce humans in animal form to mate with them and produce unusual children.

I really like this as an adventure hook... Not sure what lion-like creature to use, though.

In myths cannibal is often used to mean any anthropophagous being.

Do you mean what could they be descended from?  Perhaps their ancestors had assimilated an ancient strain of lycanthropy.  Or the sphinx is always a fun choice, lions hindquarters and paws, but a woman's head and breasts, and in some cases wings as well.

Actually if thats the case, they descend from humans who mate with lions.  The only way to tell them from a normal human is that they refuse to eat anything but meat.  And they prefer to devour their husbands.

Were Monkeys: Apparently theres an African myth that a mans daughter was kidnapped by female monkeys who had no children, so to get her back he got a fetish to become a monkey and married them so they had children of their own.  It's the origin story for chimps.

Lions: Theres a Rwandan legend that says a girl who once drank from a puddle of lions urine she thought was water (wtf?) became a man eating were lion.  Apparently most male weres in africa are leopards, and most females are lions, or at least they are so far.


You want more pics?  I just realized it';s been a bit.

Interesting dichotomy of weres in Africa... I think since it's definitely a virus in my world, I won't have that difference, but the urine story is actually possible because of it.  :lmao

My real life game is actually in South Africa right now, and I've been itching to use some of the creations we've gotten so far... Of course this weekend got cancelled, but next weekend should be fun. :plotting

Were-Owls: In Ghana it is believed witches turn into Owls at night and attack their victims on the Astral plane.

Pikuwa: In Aboriginal legends in Queensland Pikuwa is a crocodile and seducer of young girls.  Whats with all the horny croc rapist legends over the world anyway?

Python:  In Zulu lore there is a Quenn who swelled up and grew enormous instead of giving birth as usual.  Eventually she gave birth to an enormous python over the span of many hours, and after a few months her offspring shed its skin andd gave birth to 5 girls and 5 boys.  Possibly excuse for Were Pythons?

Orcs:  Pliny the Elder says the Orc is hte natural enemy of the whale, and is a huge mass of flesh armed with many teeth.  The Saxons refer to them as powerful spirits of the Earth.  Giant Octopi?

hey you could use the lamprey medusa pic for a Ri.  It's a siren from New Guinea that has a womans head and body but "aquatic appendages" (they're description not mine).
