Good shorthand. I actually view them as packs of monsters that can take the form of men (rather than the reverse). They are untrustworthy, inhuman and murderous - but for whatever reason, they are total devoted to the House of Sartar. Other campaigns may be more sympathetic to the Telmori (as per the White Wolf Werewolf games), but mine isn't.
