I want the BBEG for my next campaign to be a Werewolf Queen of some sort

Depends on the group. I've had good fun occasionally going maximum neckbeard

woops wrong one
youtube.com/watch?v=ChgEJ6n-Wyo

Hmm, maybe just have her be a big old werewolf pack leader, with that more supernatural brand of lycanthropy that results in nigh immortality.
Maybe shes trying to establish her own kingdom for her followers, pushing other species and their countries out of their territory. maybe rousing the wild beast in the land to start terrorizing the countryside.
Or maybe shes just one of those weirdos who tries enforcing the "Law of the Wild" or whatever

>awoo
Someone said AWOO?!

Sounds like she'd be quite the bitch

Why are you so angry, bro?

Her big plan is to eventually get the parts, ingriediants, and arcane texts to create a huge magical ritual to instill a bit of werewolf tainted blood into the bloodstream of every living human within a sizeable area of the county. Trick is that the ritual is complete enough when the party gets there that all that's needed to complete is the letting of ANY blood onto a altar and the party has to decide between slitting their own blood to "safely" finish the ritual, try to destroy the ritual (Hard option), let the ritual complete, diplomacy the werewolf queen into stopping this madness, or let the bard infect the continent with AIDS.

Goddammit, came here to post this.

Make her a classic High School Alpha Bitch, complete with devoted werewolf followers.

Werewolf Magi of some kind or sect.
BBEG? Sure!
Plan? Drive the City folk into the Wilderness?
Turn people into Werewolves? Or other werecreatures.

Possible God to worship? Malar!

But I think playing up the fact that as a Werewolf she wont have a traditional lair will be a grand idea. makes tracking her down harder..
Like a Traveling ship the party can always be one step behind her.
I would also consider giving them a good reason to seek her out.
Stopping her? Why? Maybe they are infected? maybe she has a Magical Cure?
Maybe they want to join?

Plot hook? Cultists Sell Healing potions mixed with werewolf Blood.

Well they're called the "Alpha", not queen - basically a wolf pack is ruled by a "mating pair" of alphas who spend most of their time stopping the other wolves from boning, and then make the rest of the pack raise their offspring as their own.

It's kinda funny how you can see the beginnings of eusociality in wolves actually, just on that edge leaning towards building hivewolves which WOULD have queens.

You got a source for this or you making it up?

You honestly could have the whole Werewolf thing be a secret, and have them be 'attacked' by a few of them out of Lunar Phase whenever she's about. Like, that's her ability she can just Shift whenever she feels and can make others do the same. Make it a generally tough fight and if she keeps showing up that could work out.

Or you could go the whole other route and have it to where she and her merry band of murdering werewolves play musicals as they fight and as long as they're singing (howling) they are almost unbeatable. Their plan which they loudly sing of is to make it that every night is a full moon and every day the shortest day possible.

Why are you guys so worried about the werewolf queen having a sexual past? Like so many of these posts are critical of even the insinuation there is something sexual going on.

What about making her an older werewolf, a little gray in the fur with her litters grown and leading packs of their own. She's the BBEG because the kingdom has been cutting down her people's forests and slaying the werewolves for their magical pelts (invulnerability is one hell of a perk) and she's responded with war of sorts.

She's tough, motherly, regal and absolutely vicious when it comes to her children.

...

>suggestions

Yes. Kill yourself before it gets worse furry.

>TFW I made that GIF

Daily reminder this is "the quality content" Veeky Forums was supposed to gain after moving quests to separate board.

For whatever reason Veeky Forums really overreacts to the possibility of magical realm to the point of paranoia. Seems like people think this is furry fetish or something.

I dunno why we can't have simple BBEG suggestion threads without someone freaking out, but there it is.

Beauty and Beast: Bad hair day

>BBEG is a humanoid animal

Yeah, I also wonder why everyone is so much paranoid about magic realm werewolves...

Kill yourself

See what I mean? Paranoia isn't healthy.

>Most of thread is people complaining
>Posts to complain about "low quality" of thread content
>Repeat ad-nauseam

Not a lot of monsters can pass for humans, so:
Have it be the queen of the local constabulary. Recently married into it, but is actually gathering power and protection. Someone in the court discovers her secret and gets away to hire neutral third party (the players) outside of her immediate control. Very tough to kill, would heal very quickly and would be well guarded. How would characters in the court, or the King himself, react to the secret and who can the players trust without getting eviscerated in the night?

>awoo
>furry
"Awoo" is about some not-furry touhou girl. If you're going to be sanctimonious, at least try.

I'd take a million of these over a quest any day.

Well, you are getting million of those, because they are being posted all summer like crazy.

Not going to cry any bullshit about furfags, but there is one thing for sure I don't want to see on Veeky Forums:
Idiotic "wat do" and /d/-laced threads. /pol/ invasions are easy to handle, you just report them and they disappear. Meanwhile, this shit stays, because it's still (very, very vaguely) related with tabletops, while most of the time it's nothing more than wankery about fetishes.

>any suggestions?
yes. dont make it magical realm.

Touch Fluffy Tail.

Movitivated by the desire to have werewolves treated nicely by everyone and figure out a way to control their murderous forms.

>Idiotic "wat do" and /d/-laced threads
.... This thread is actually OC question though. It is directly related because he wants campaign ideas.

Calm your tits and take your autism pills. Some of us actually came in here for a discussion. You see this?
It's bait. Ignore it and fuck off. I don't like "wat do" threads either and the cancerous /a/ faggotry coming from the pathfinder crowd drives me up the wall too, but seriously man just stop.

>implying awoo can be tamed

He's making all of it up.

The 'Alpha male and female' are literally just the parents of the pack. Hence their position as leaders. Edgy teenager wolves go on their own to find their own mates and packs.

youtube.com/watch?v=Cia4W6vvuKk

>The 'Alpha male and....
The guy who published the original study which established the trope about "alpha, beta... etc" pack structure in wolves later disowned it and regretting publishing it.
He was documenting unrelated wolves in captivity, aka prison culture. They behave very differently in the wild.

They have a tight nuclear family unit. If any anthropormorphic animal lived in a white-picket fence Normal Rockwell family, it's Wolves. They're even known to migrate for family gatherings. They'll also form friendships and play with animals not of the same species, including sharing food.

If a were-monster is going to be retarded levels of aggressive, it probably should be Bears or Badgers or something.

Go for good old moral ambiguity.

Studies also showed domesticated dogs have the "submission" based hierarchy people associate with wolves.

make the queen a warlord or something and have the reason she's attacking that country, kingdom, whatever it is to not only claim it as her own domain but the invasion is also to pressgang any poor bastard that get's infected into her pack so after she takes the whatever she can move on and try and take over the next whatever.

Think genghis kong or ancient rome in her desire to conquer near by lands and spread her own kingdoms borders and help bring her people's culture to all the barbarians of the world... but with werewolves.

>Idiotic "wat do" and /d/-laced threads.
We are literally talking a DM fishing for ideas here, this is exactly the kind of thread Veeky Forums was made to handle

>pol/ invasions are easy to handle, you just report them and they disappear
The hell they do, unless by disappear you mean completely take over the thread, drive any and all Veeky Forums related material away, then have the mods delete it while they start spreading their shit to new thread

Just rule 63 it and set it after she overthrew the people who brought her back and crowned herself queen

It's like you don't know how science work

Why are you so angry, bro?

The alpha-beta-omega heirarchy is bunk, but wild wolves do have a designated "breeding pair" that get super pissed and sometimes will drive other members out of the pack if they find them trying to breed

Well, if you found your son or daughter trying to fuck your spouse or each other, you'd drive them out too.

I want to cum inside awoo

Wolverine or Badger. Bears are pretty chill.

Hot

best girl

Dude what if Avacyn didn't go evil and Kord still did all the stuff she did...

Would that be good enough BBEG plan.

The werewolf queen is the younger sister of the crown prince. She was kidnapped and turned by a pack of werewolves, but she quickly rose through the ranks and declared herself "The Wolf Queen". She considers werewolves to be superior, and she wants to share her gift with the kingdom. Her brother is legitimately a shitty ruler and is mostly hated by peasants, so she has plenty of weak farmers volunteering to be transformed so they can join her army and fight to reform the government.

Her being a werewolf is secondary to her being a charismatic revolutionary leader.

martinmillar.com/pages/lonelywerewolfgirl.html
There you go user.

So she's basically Joan of Yiff

Nope that theory has long since been discredited, mostly because the research used captive and captive-bred wolves. Wolf packs in the wild consist of a mating pair and their youngest offspring, the elder offspring go off upon reaching adulthood. See: Journal of Nature, Scientific American, New Scientist et al, and for a highly condensed version: Fortean Times Mythconceptions.

NEVER EVER

The king believes his daughter has been kidnapped, and sends the party to find her.
After much investigation, they find out that she panicked and ran away after unexpectedly turning into a giant wolf.
They still have to bring her home without hurting her too much, which might not be easy as she initially thinks they must be hunters sent to kill her.

Go full on bestial to the point where's not even sapient and is a real monster. The 'Werewolf Queen' is simply a moniker given to her by superstitious peasants to the signify the growing Lycanthopic horde that is amassing behind her.

I hate how that anime used the wolf transformation but not the straw teleportation in the finale.

Well some of an older litter might stick around and help mom with the youngest litter. Or was that Jackals?

>He doesn't know

The Werewolf King (Essentially the progenitor of all Werewolves) gets killed by an elite crew of elite monster hunters. A few years later all hell breaks loose as the Werewolf Queen attempts to avenge her husband by uniting the werebeasts and exterminating the respective races of the monster hunters. Not just Werewolves but all werebeasts join in on the fight in order to preserve their kind after the upset of the powerful Wolf Kings death. They sneak into human society then turning in the middle of the day to slaughter everyone around and strike terror into their enemies. You got WereWolves, WereBears, WereCows, WereRats, WereMoose. Pretty much every mammal and a few birds have a Were equivalent and they are all pissed.

>They'll also form friendships and play with animals not of the same species, including sharing food.
WereWolf King dies and there are just a billion crows and ravens all super pissed about it because he was cool about them picking off the scraps of his massive kills and never bothered nobody for nothing.

It actually came out a bit ago, user

Third game coming out soon in Japan. Get hype.

Overrated Waifu. She had emotional issues to the point of being a detrimental pain in the ass and intentionally caused as many problems as she solved. Would be described as the "crazy-ex" when they break up.

Super disappointed they didn't focus more on the economics going on either.

Agreed. Teleportation with super specific rules was actually almost interesting.

Seems too much like sending the PC's on a wild goose chase. Campaigns are always easier to run when the snake has a head to cut off, so to speak.

>Trailer shows you just opening up with ripping her shirt off when she opens the door
>that isn't an action you can take in-game

RIP

> basically a wolf pack is ruled by a "mating pair" of alphas

And human kingdoms are ruled by Kings and Queens. Who, in fantasy realms, can be infected with Lycanthropy, which would in the case of a Queen, create a Werewolf Queen, so yeah, they can.

>infected with Lycanthropy, which would in the case of a Queen, create a Werewolf Queen

This OP.

This is a subplot right out of The Witcher.

this is why werewolves are considered "undead" - for the purpose of primogeniture any werewolved royals are considered dead and thus the title moves to the next in line to the throne.

Not gonna lie, I'd run/play in that game.

Why... are you emotionally invested in the truth of some outdated biological research?

Is it because you're one of those pathetic people who uses those terms referring to people?

Packs being nuclear family units is as well-known as, say, bird migratory patterns, or the theory of gravity. It's so well known in biology today as to not even merit talking about.

The whole "alpha/beta/omega strict hierarchy" thing only happens in packs of unrelated wolves (which do occur naturally, but only in rare instances, such as where groups of wolves who lost their packs band together for survival reasons).

Normal wolf packs are a Father and Mother and all of their children (including adult children who haven't yet found a mate.) When the children find a mate, they leave and start their own pack.

Actually what's funny is the whole "alpha" theory applies more to monkeys, humans, and like the other user said, prisons. Then that domesticated dogs who get along with humans also follow this more than wolves. Apparently there's almost no infighting in wolf packs, and they certainly have better marital track records than any human.

I think werewolf would be bro-tier family man, along the lines of Michael Carpenter from Dresden Files.

I went on an Urban Fantasy binge after catching up on Dresden Files. Got tricked into reading some woman's thinly veiled werewolf dominance-porn which ruined it's otherwise OK noir-series potential. Repeatedly includes the "my wolves are different" interjections to justify it. You know what's weird? Women fucking love this shit, and people in general seem fucking obsessed with the idea.

Again, I think it applies to humans mostly.

Underrated.

Who is she?
Why is she so happy and cute?

From the Chaotic Series. A cartoon based on teenagers going to an alternate dimension to get scans of monsters so they can take on their forms and use them to fight in virtual arenas. Descent overall but bad art in the first half of the series but then they revamped it with a more traditional style you see in OPs gif.

Fox chick only appears once in a single episode though,

>enjoys , like many other nobles, the hunt but instead of comfy crossbow shooting at boars and foxes/deer, her hunting squad including herself fight bears and monster with axes and spears
>she eats her steak bloody
>always wears black pelts
>LOTS of hunting trophies
>add a scar or an eyepatch
>Veeky Forums
>treats her werewolf subordinates a bit more like comrades and family
>supervises the mating behavior of her family

additionally , you could include a difference in her werewolf abilities like higher degree of control over the transformation and alternative transformations.

you could go about the order within the house like a vampire aristrocracy, but maybe they just try to somehow keep up their camouflage by adapting the base structures of human noble houses.

as for BBEG motivation i can imagine something like turning the world into their personal hunting grounds by becoming immune to silver or some shit or just use all of that as a stepping stone to finally fuck up the vampire neighbours that keep hunting their kin down.

Use German subtitles, of course:

I think they focused on the economics plenty, myself.

Wait... How dafuq did that happen...

>If a were-monster is going to be retarded levels of aggressive, it probably should be Bears or Badgers or something.
Werebadgers are horrifying... I remember facing them in RIFTS via random Palladium splat book #235-a (which may or may not have been TMNT).

Barely. I think too much of it was wasted on Holo's being a retarded emotional cripple, and he put up with so much shit you'd start to think the only reason he did was hoping he gets laid.
