Children of the Moon

Children of the Moon, also known as "werewolves", are a mythical species from the Twilight Saga. They are not the same as the Quileute shape-shifters, as they turn into wolves at the full moon instead of anytime voluntarily. Also, Children of the Moon are created after being bitten by another werewolf, and are not wolves because of their genes or ancestors. They also very rarely travel in packs like the Quileute shape-shifters.

Not much is known about the Children of the Moon. It is known that Caius, one of the Volturi's leaders, is terrified of them because he was nearly killed in a fight with one. Because of this, Caius has pushed the Volturi to hunt the Children of the Moon to near extinction in Europe and Asia.
