What type of shifters travel in a pack?
-easy, squirrels it would be nuts to go alone!
Can you name the type of shifter from Asian folklore that turns into a fox?
-i cant answer that cause i cheated and used google, sorry :(
Which shifters also breath fire?
-heh any if they have one of those DQ flamethrower burgers :D
These shifters are usually powerful Native American shamans.
-my years of everquest and world of warcraft have taught me that it is a wolf :P
When is a vampire considered a shifter?
-when they have a paying job :P heh
What shifter can trace their line to the Kobalds of Prussian folklore?
-the force of google is strong in me, so i cant answer this one either cause i cheated again sorry :(
Is a Werewolf a shifter? True or False?
-im going to have to say both true and false, im not really sure how to explain why i think that, im a thinker, its hard for me to put thoughts into words (spoken and written) but what i can say is that my way of thinking was inspired by a spiderman story arc called ‘the other’.
is spiderman a man trying to be a spider? or a spider trying to be a man?
ive read alot of werewolf novels, comic books so its hard too say true or false when it (to me) is both true and false.
Can you guess which type of shifter my hero is from my upcoming story Shifting Tides: Beneath A Midnight Sea?
-im gonna have to guess a naga or some type of half-human half-snake combo, or a mermaid/merman(? ) i dont think it can be a mermaid/merman… so im going to go with half-human half-snake
most of these answers are dripping with sarcasm, i hope im not out of line with what i have said, and i apologize for the poor grammar and stuff :P

1. Wolfies of course
2. I think it’s Japan that has the Kitsune. Jett Mykles (i think) has some cool art of them on her website. It been awhile since i’ve looked at her art
3. Dragons
4. Hmmmm…. Manitou is the only one i can come up with off the top of my head. But who and what they are depends on whose story you’re reading! Grin!
5. EEEkkk - you know once you’re in here answering it’s difficult to go back out to your blog and find specifics! I’m going with Rob’s answer…yeah, that’s the ticket.
6. uhhhhhhhhhh….dang, i feel stupid. and here i thought i knew this shit inside out. (Scowling at self)
7. Aha! I know this answer! Technically no. Shapeshifters are natural born and weres are bitten. Okay, so again it depends on the story origins.
8. Errr, a bite in the dark: dolphin shifter…no, maybe a shark shifter… Orca shifter has been done so not that…ummmmm….ohhh - a Kraken! No dang it….wrong mythology. Sigh.
