BREED

A werewolf's breed is the form he was born in.  The breed form is always 
dependant upon the breed form of the mother.  If the mother was a human 
or a Homid Garou, the child is born Homid.  If the mother was a wolf or a 
Lupus werewolf, the child is born Lupus.  When two Garou mate, a fatal sin 
in their culture, the child is born Metis, deformed and in Crinos form.
