** For a more meta use of this trope, some present-day werebeasts have animal forms that were extinct by the 19th century in the real world, [[https://www.deviantart.com/nazrigar/art/Beast-Fables-A-Second-Chance-Part-1-932748317 such as mammoths and moas]].

* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: The lands of Urvara are inhabited by werebeasts (also known as werefolk, beastfolk, or werepeople), who have a human form and a beast (anthropomorphic land animal) form. They usually transform into their beast forms involuntarily when triggered by certain "catalysts", such as strong emotions, the taste of raw meat, or entering a certain environment. However, it's possible for werebeasts to learn how to shapeshift at will.
* WanderingCulture: Certain weremammal nations, such as elephants, are constantly migrating. Their closest thing to settlements are portions of cities ruled by non-nomadic people.
* WiseOldTurtle: Werereptiles have long lifespans, especially tortoises (who can live for three centuries), so they have a tradition of passing knowledge up and down through the generations.
* WorldOfMammals: {{Downplayed}}. There are werebeasts for all of the major land animal groups (tetrapods and certain arthropods), but mammals are the most dominant clade.

!! ''Beast Fables'' contains examples of:
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: [[https://www.deviantart.com/nazrigar/art/Beast-Fables-A-Second-Chance-Part-2-932752179 "A Second Chance Part 2"]] describes a thylacine huntress who let some stranded prisoners live in her tribe's town as long as they promised to respect the land, a clear parallel to how the British Empire used Australia as a penal colony.
* JackOfAllTrades: The description of [[https://www.deviantart.com/nazrigar/art/Weretober-2022-The-Great-Werebeast-Clades-932257842 "The Great Werebeast Clades]] says that weremammals are generalists, and you can find them working in almost any job, from warriors to intellectuals to janitors.
* KingOfTheDinosaurs: Werebirds revere an ancient figure called the Tyrant King, whereas weremammals believe that a torch-bearing ''Didelphodon'' saved them from the Tyrant King. From context, it's easy to conclude he was a ''Tyrannosaurus''.
* NotSoExtinct:
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/nazrigar/art/Beast-Fables-Catalysts-of-Transformation-Pt-2-934011025 "Catalysts of Transformation"]] speculates that if merfolk did exist, they're probably all dead by now... right above an image of a shark-person hiding from two werereptiles.
** For a more meta use of this trope, some present-day werebeasts have animal forms that were extinct by the 19th century in the real world, [[https://www.deviantart.com/nazrigar/art/Beast-Fables-A-Second-Chance-Part-1-932748317 such as mammoths and moas]].
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: The seas of Urvara are inhabited by merfolk who look like anthropomorphic sea creatures, from sharks to bony fish to cephalopods. Unlike the werebeasts, they don't have human forms. Most werebeasts believe they're a myth.
* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: The lands of Urvara are inhabited by werebeasts (also known as werefolk, beastfolk, or werepeople), who have a human form and a beast (anthropomorphic land animal) form. They usually transform into their beast forms involuntarily when triggered by certain "catalysts", such as strong emotions, the taste of raw meat, or entering a certain environment. However, it's possible for werebeasts to learn how to shapeshift at will.
* WanderingCulture: Certain weremammal nations, such as elephants, are constantly migrating. Their closest thing to settlements are portions of cities ruled by non-nomadic people.
* WiseOldTurtle: Werereptiles have long lifespans, especially tortoises (who can live for three centuries), so they have a tradition of passing knowledge up and down through the generations.
* WorldOfMammals: {{Downplayed}}. There are werebeasts for all of the major land animal groups (tetrapods and certain arthropods), but mammals are the most dominant clade.
