Alpha werewolf

An Alpha werewolf is a type of lycanthrope. They are the leader of a pack of werewolves. Alpha werewolves are featured prominently on the 2011-2017 supernatural teen drama series Teen Wolf on MTV. An Alpha werewolf has physical characteristics and abilities that make them more powerful than the wolves within their pack. There is something of a symbiotic nature to this, for the stronger the pack, then the stronger the Alpha. If an Alpha kills the Beta members of his or her pack, he will then inherit their power, thereby becoming even more powerful. This ability also comes into play if an Alpha kills another Alpha. Such beings may also be referred to as the Supreme Alpha. It is believed that the origins of the Alpha lineage can be traced back to 18th century France with the emergence of the Beast of Gevaudan, who was an evil human named Sebastien Valet. Another classification of Alpha is the True Alpha. A True Alpha is a Beta member of a pack who becomes an Alpha not through rite of force, but through sheer force of will. To date, only Scott McCall has exhibited the ability to evolve into a True Alpha.
