Werewolf: The Wild West[]

Common Jargon[]

These words are commonly used by native and immigrant werewolves alike.

Slang[]

These terms are in favor with young Garou, who prefer "plain speech" to fancy formality. Elders typically look on such as disrespectful.

Old Form[]

These terms were spoken in the oldest days and are kept alive by lorekeepers; most display a distinct Fianna turn of phrase. Werewolves use this "fancy-speak" only infrequently, but virtually all know these words and their definitions.

Dark Ages[]

These are terms found in Werewolf: The Dark Ages and the Dark Ages: Werewolf Rulebook.
