Um its called a pack. But sure! You can join my pack of wolves. Were known as Pack of Silent River. Pick a rank: Pup mother, spy/lookout, hunter, apprentice, or guardian.

No.  The answer is no.  That is a stupid question to ask to an internet forum filled with strangers.
You don't need to "join a clan", and you shouldn't join one unless you know the people in it.

I think Arfarf is less sophisticated troll.

Arfarf, try reading about wolves and their packs. Learn about what you say you are. Look around the forum a bit. I have heard of slight differences in pack rules so go read about them.

Sherlawk, your welcoming personality, and charming comments always make me smile.


Anyways, where did this tern "clan" come from? I have never heard of a group of wolves, let alone werewolves referred to as a clan.

LW, this section is meant to be a serious discussion of therianthropy-related topics. Please refrain from making unrelated comments. I have edited out such portions and left those which pertain to the subject above. Thank you. -WW

The reason I cut out half of the post is because adult swim does not deal with therianthropy and was not relevant to the post, neither was the perv comment or discussing what foods he was eating. I do not edit posts often (I have only done so twice), but I will if I believe it is unrelated to the topic. Anyone can say most whatever they want to in any of the other forums, but since this section is meant to be more of an academic and informative discussion oriented towards those who may not know what therianthropy is and came to this site because they knew of nowhere else to turn, it will be held under a higher scrutiny.

The term "clan" (and it's related term "sept") was used extensively in the White Wolf RPG Apocalypse which was about Werewolces. In real life, a clan has little to do with Werewolves and everything to do with geneology. A clan is simply a root family and septs are offshoots of that fammily. I bet there's a Wikipedia article on clans and septs.

Don't worry about asking questions UA, that's why we have this section.

To answer your question, it sounds more like what you're describing is something that deals with RPG or Hollywood werewolves. Most therians don't have packs/clans as someone well versed in fiction would recognize. Of course this is generalized, but most therian's (wolf therians at least) "pack" really only include close family and friends. There are some actual established "packs" out there, but I really don't know too much about them and am somewhat leery of whether they're just people playing around... anyways, back on topic. Most therians are pretty private folks who don't go around telling everyone they meet that they're a therian, and therefore, many times people who they might consider to be in their "pack", might not even know about it.

I'll use myself as an example. I don't really use the term "pack" that often because it seems something more instinctual than constructed, really. Therefore I typically don't call it anything and don't really even think about it, it's just intrinsically there. However, if I were asked who I would say is in my "pack", I would answer easily: both of my parents and my three best friends. Neither of my parents know that I am a therian (although no doubt they notice I'm different all the time). Out of that whole lot, only one other is a therian whom you would have seen around here (Vindacator). That's it, there's really no special voodoo behind it or anything. Those are just the ones who I feel close enough to to consider part of my family, and really, that is all a pack is: family.

So basically, there aren't any clans: at least as far as therians are concerned, because there are no special occasions or laws... well, other than the laws of the government.
