I always like the lone werewolf concept. A pack of werewolves seems counterproductive. A werewolve is supposed to be the bad guy! [sorry jim - heh]

Fair enough. Mostly it comes from the fact that wolves innately form packs. In nature the Lone Wolf motif indicates a wolf that has been driven from the pack for one reason or another. The usually either die or find a new one.
But Natural and Supernatural need to be different by definition, so changing that trope makes sense.

There are ways. But really you have to decide what you want and how your world needs to be constructed so that its plausible. You can do it.

Is anyone else reading DD Barant's Bloodhound Files ?
They take the underlying logic of a world with lots of supernaturals in and run in a quite different direction with them; they're set on an Earth with only a million or so regular humans left, because all the rest of the population of the planet are either vampires or a werewolves. (Except for the golems.)

INteresting. Does that make Humans a domesticated Herd animal?
