See the Lyc-v magic virus that creates the shape shifters isn't a picky virus. Most often it attaches animal DNA to the human genome but it sometimes infects animals with human DNA. Most often these weres are mentally challenged (typically having the mental capacity of a 4 or 5 year old) and are sterile. This isn't always the case for on some rare occasions they are fertile and can produce offspring.
