The nature of werepenguins

The Emperor Penguin
</div> A werepenguin is a lycanthrope; a being that can change between human and penguin forms. ( Werepenguins are exclusively Emperor Penguins) A werepenguin literally has two complete sets of DNA; one human and the other penguin. The ability to transform between the two sets of DNA and to be able to reform the biological pattern (change shape) is accomplished through lycanthropic RNA or LRNA. The action of LRNA is controlled through a series of hormones, generally released during the full moon although some werepenguins can release it as necessary any time of the month. Trace amounts of silver in the blood can hinder this transformation process.

Werepenguins are not born but hatched. They remain in their penguin form for the first month after hatching and when the initial hormonal levels received from the egg wear off they transform to human form. They remain in human form until puberty. Most werepenguins will have a first transformation around the mating season. The principle effects of puberty in humans are not experienced in adolescent werepenguins. Facial hair is not developed in the males and neither gender develops pubic hair. Special creams have been developed not only to allow female werepenguins to develop an average human breast size, but also after hatching to develop the breasts for nursing after the infant transforms into a human.

Werepenguins are generally considered infertile in human form. In penguin form they are fertile only during the mating season where they will lay one egg per year.

Another feature of LRNA is chromosomal regeneration. Through a complex process, the LRNA repair the strands of DNA and restore a modicum of youth. While fertility is not restored, the physical age of the werepenguin and return to that of a human in his or her early 30’s. Many of the first generation werepenguins have undergone this process, and several of the second generation has already gone through their first regeneration. The number of times a werepenguin can regenerate is not known but is believed to be finite, since it does cause exceptional stress on the LRNA strands. (A werepenguin cannot transform for at least ten months after regeneration.)

The origin of werepenguins

The origin of the werepenguin is shrouded in both mystery and secrecy. They can be traced back to the Nation of Tzorsland and the creation of the three primal werepenguins, each named Prima and given a family name based on the color of their hair.

t-189882612.jpg Prima Brown was known for her exceptional dexterity and charisma.

t-189882594.jpg Prima Blonde was known for her exceptional strength and constitution.

There are many myths about the three primal werepenguins. Some say that they still reside in Tzorsland. Some say that they never existed. From these three primal werepenguins three groups of clones were developed. These are known as the “first generation.” They were employed by the Tzorsland navy and were sent secretly each year to the Antarctic Oasis to mingle with native penguins that also were known for exploding. Returning back to Tzorsland they laid the second generation of werepenguins, both male and female.

The second generation was able to breed freely, although only in penguin form. From their unions came the third generation.
