Day Wolf

Day Wolves are a variation of the more common werewolf of European folklore that appear in the HydroVerse series of comics and while Day Wolves are similar, they have the unique ability of being able to transform during the day as opposed to only night.

Originally, the Day Wolves come from a village known as Solis and the initial creation was by a woman heralded as a witch known as Munera who concocted the curse in her village deep in the surrounding forests by mixing the blood of a wolf and the sundew flower.

Munera then tested her new curse on a scared girl named Nina Lang, successfully transforming her into the first Day Wolf.

Origins
The Day Wolves had originated in the mysterious village of Solis which used to be inhabited by people who spoke in old English, it is unknown what became of the village and its people after the 1800s.

A witch that lived deep in the forest named Munera who spent most of her time coming up with new spells to use on people living in the village, she managed to create a new curse using the flower sundew and blood from a regular wolf. This created what would become the Day Wolf curse.

An easily scared woman named Nina Lang had become lost in the forests outside the village whilst looking for her young brother Liam, she stumbled upon an old cabin.

Desperate for help, Nina knocked on the door and was greeted by Munera who welcomed the scared girl into her home. Munera sensed Nina's fear and weakness, so she decided to test her new curse and caused Nina to collapse. Nina woke up on the ground not too far away from the village, and she was taken home in a daze.

Nina would then begin her transformation into a Day Wolf, causing the people of Solis to panic and eventually hunt her down and drive her out of the village along with Liam.

The Others
Nina Lang had infected countless people within Solis and they eventually left the village in their own right to hide in other areas around the world, one Day Wolf named Lilith would go into hiding within Downpour City after living through World War II and chasing down Hydro-Girl many times before losing her life to the Aqua-Iravian in Russia.

Book writer Sandra Cowell would then be infected by an unnamed Day Wolf after becoming interested in the species and tracking them down in order to snap photos of them as a means of inspiration for her next book. Sandra was saved by Jill, who fended off the attacking Day Wolves.

Sandra proved to be a special case as she had a form of split-personality disorder which allowed her to utilise many forms including the traditional werewolf.

Moving to Dia Loba
Nina Lang eventually went on to live for many years to come, she eventually left Solis and travelled to Dia Loba which is a small village located in Europe inhabited by people who speak Spanish. Nina began terrorising the people of Dia Loba so that she could also feed on them for food as they were not prepared for such a threat.

Eventually Sandra Cowell, another Day Wolf, travelled to Dia Loba with her friend Jill who believed that they could learn the origins of the Day Wolves from the villagers. Jill confronted Nina Lang in the nearby forest, and Nina expressed her desire to kill Sandra and become the last living Day Wolf to ever roam the Earth.

Healing Factor
Day Wolves, much like regular Werewolves, cannot be harmed by regular bullets or even silver bullets. They are however vulnerable to asphyxiation, demonstrated when Hydro-Girl kills Lilith by hanging her from a rope.

During the day, Day Wolves absorb the light from the Sun which causes their eyes to glow so that they can see in the dark when hunting.

Shapeshifting
Day Wolves have the unique ability to transform back and forth between their human form at will.

Superhuman Agility
Day Wolves are incredibly quick, able to catch their target off guard with ease.

Superhuman Senses
Day Wolves possess enhanced senses, allowing them to be one step ahead of their prey.

Superhuman Speed
Using this ability generally happens in battle or chasing down a target, and Day Wolves are not much different from Werewolves in this case.

Speech
Even after they transform into a Day Wolf, the person is still capable of speaking like a regular human albeit with a lower pitched voice. Sandra Cowell, when in her Day Wolf form however, cannot speak.

Aside from their many abilities, Day Wolves have also been shown to possess certain weaknesses. Day Wolves are vulnerable to having their oxygen cut off, demonstrated when Hydro-Girl and Kevin manage to wrap a rope around Lilith's neck and hang her from a building ledge.
