It certainly works for the good werewolf trope,mwhen the tragic human isvresusting the savage beast and locking itself down. Of course the ravenous beast fights to be released and devour - so the PCs sympathy needs to be focussed on how to end the torment and threat, which is its own adventure

Marvels Conan features fights against a Vampire (of Nosferatu lineage), he stabs it with a spear to no avail but eventually recalls that they can be killed by a wooden stake through the heart defeated so he breaks the spear haft and forces that through the vampires chest. Marvel also gives us...

You know the fundamental flaw in this question is thinking that a an animal knows what class or phylum it belongs to for instance Mako sharks are livebearers - so give birth to fully formed young, just like dolphins do. Would a Mako shark be able to tell a Druid that its a cartilaginous fish...

FATE Accelerated is a satisfying experience Contrast with the unsatisfying experience of DnD 5e

I once had a pair of PCs sent to a distant city to set up a trading house sponsored by The 500 Lords of the Vaniyaga a network of 'Heroic Traders' Merchant-Devotees operating across the coastal ports of the Mahasegara (Indian Ocean) from Africa to Mahapajit (Indonesia) and beyond. The Vaniyaga...
