Living in the city can be difficult for werewolves, as they prefer quiet, open spaces rather than the small flats and crowded streets of cities. They may stay in urbanized areas for different reasons: some have a regular human life, a job and friends. Due to all of the advantages of living near a city, there is alot of competition over urban areas. Werewolves claiming city territory are typically large and tough, and often have to defend their homes and family from intruders.
