A Theta Werewolf, or a Theta for short, is an extremely rare werewolf. Only 7 can exist at one time, according to Legend. Theta's are the seconds in command to a pack of werewolves, thus they are their the right hand to the packs Alpha. When the Alpha ventures away from the pack, the Theta is left in charge of the pack until the Alpha returns. They are stronger and faster than the Beta's of the pack. In wolf form, Thetas appear as common Betas, but they also possess dark green eyes, unlike normal Betas which possess golden eyes.
Originally, Lycaon's sons, they were mostly killed and replaced by Alphas several times through the centuries, save one (Castor). The Thetas act as the immediate superiors to the Pack members, and as the immediate Inferiors to the Alpha. Essentially, the Alphas to the Betas, Thetas possess the Strength of 5 Betas. Known Thetas: Castor (Deceased), John Howlett Jr. (Briefly), 6 other unknown Thetas of the current day, the 6 other unnamed sons of Lycaon (deceased).
Powers & Abilities[]
- Shapeshifting: Werewolves have the ability to shape their features into that of a partially lupine form, which involves glowing eyes, fangs, claws, a ridged brow, and large sideburns. With practice, Werewolves can learn how to only transform a few selective features as needed, such as only extending their claws to cut something, their fangs to bite something, or simply making their eyes glow to enhance their eyesight or display their supernatural nature.
- Super Human Strength - Theta Werewolves possess considerable superhuman strength. They are nearly 5 times the strength of common Alphas. It is unknown how strong they would be in wolf form.
- Super Human Speed - Thetas can move 20 times faster than normal humans in their human form, and can run up to 50 miles an hour in human form.
- Super Human Senses - Thetas possess heightened senses far superior to Alphas.
- Resistance to Cold - Thetas can spend long periods of time in freezing cold weather easily.

- Connection to The Zeta - Thetas can telepathically speak to the Zeta where ever he may be. Lycaon was able to send a message to Raphael in his final moments, even though Raphael was in California at the time, and Lycaon was in Silent Cove, 4000 miles away.
