Not to be confused with Lunacy from Werewolf: The Forsaken
Garou glyph for therapy.
A lunatic is a Garou who has resisted their First Change out of sheer willpower. They repress their true nature and as a result, suffer from mental health problems. The Valkenburg Foundation was set up to help them recover. Some tribes, such as the Children of Gaia, welcome any attempt to help lunatics, whereas others, mainly the Red Talons, believe that such "weaklings" should not be helped.
To some of the Bone Gnawers, insanity is seen as a blessing, particularly among Theurges, but the ranks of the Bone Gnawer tribe have an unusually high percentage of lunatics and madmen. Bone Gnawer lunatics have found a place in the midst of human society. Some even manage to overcome their mental illness enough to function to some extent in Garou society.
