Weregrinches and the transformation process

Description:
Weregrinches (latin name: Lycanthius grinchus) are a very rare and unique species of lycanthrope that mainly appear around Christmas time but sometimes appear before and after xmas as well.


Appearance:

Weregrinches are covered in thick green fur, have pointed ears, small vampirish fangs, glowing eyes, long black clawed fingernails/toenails, a long mane, bushy eyebrows, and a grinch-like muzzle. Females tend to have a much longer mane, slitted eyes, shorter claws and darker lips.



Behaviour traits:



Most weregrinches have various grinch-like traits and characteristics such as super keen senses and amazing super agility, stealth and strength. They also tend to growl at their enemies. Weregrinches are also very mysterious and elusive.







Alignment:



Weregrinches are not good or evil but are in fact neutral. Weregrinches are often misunderstood because of their rather bad reputation. Weregrinches are sometimes feared by humans especially around Christmas time.



Most notable example: Jim Carrey.


Combat:



Weregrinches are very excellent fighters and are also very stealthy and clever. They make great ninjas too. They are also very deadly especially when under emotional stress and they transform whenever they're angry just like Bruce Banner aka the Incredible Hulk. Weregrinches have a variety of powerful attacks including their claw and bite attacks.



Transforming:





Weregrinches transform whenever they are under emotional stress especially if they are angry. They become particularly grinch-like around the Christmas season.



Transferring the curse:



There are two ways a weregrinch can turn another person into one of it's kind, one way is by bitting them and the other is by scratching them.







Becoming a weregrinch:



There are several ways a person can be transformed into a weregrinch, being bitten or scratched by one is the most common and basic way of doing it, but are also there are tons of other ways to do it as well. Santa sometimes gives people the curse of weregrinch as an alternative to giving them coal if they've been bad, and sometimes he gives it to them as a special bonus reward if they've been nice or good all year. Also being bitten by Jim Carrey also helps, seeing as he is the original weregrinch.



Now let's say you were to do a transformation of me into a weregrinch, now tell me how would do it?

I'd like mine to be slow and gradual and an affectionate parody of a typical horror movie transformation scene, and painful at scary at first. First of all it would probably start off with me developing some rather grinch-like traits such as glowing yellow eyes, a wicked cheshire cat grin (think Jack Nicholson sort of thing only creepier), super keen senses, enhanced stealth, agility and super strength, and growling a little. Then the first part to change would be the hands, green fur slowly starting to sprout on my palms as my fingernails grow into long black claws while hands become more grinch-like, same with the feet except the shoes would burst at the seams to reveal that my green fur is sprouting on them, toenails growing into long black clawed ones while the feet grow more grinch-like, i'd probably get taller and wider as well. Then my hair would develop the consistancy and texture of grinch hair then grow into a long wild mane then gradually turn green, then for the face green fur would slowly sprout on it as my eyebrows become all bushy and green, my eyes would be turning an eerie yellowish colour with dark green pupils, followed by the teeth becoming sharp fangs, and finally the tip of my nose turning black and shifting upward as a grinch-like muzzle forms on my face, either that or the nose stretching out into a more grinch-like fashion with the muzzle developing slowly. Also possibly i'd develop a deeper more bestial voice, or maybe get Jim Carrey's normal sounding voice (not the sean connery accent he had in the movie How The Grinch Stole Christmas) with a slightly menacing more demon-like echo, with of course a few growls thrown in.





Also I would probably choose to keep my humanity, as i think i would probably be able to transform at will. But some grinch-like urges would probably kick in such as the sudden taste for garbage or maybe the tendency to growl.
