Garou sometimes are born as wolves

This is known as being born Lupus, and is important to how the wolf later on in life will see their world, and develop socially among their peers.

A Lupus born garou tends to age swifter than those of homid birthing.

Young Garou born Lupus do not think or act like homids, they are strictly wolf by nature. Until the garou pup reaches sexual maturity, where they experience their 'awakening' the first change into homid form.

After that they develop the more common werewolf instincts and social behaviors.
