The Werebeasts generally have heightened senses and physical abilities above that of many of the races ranked seven or below, otherwise categorized as the Living Beings races. This is done by controlling the Elementals within their bodies to allow them to attain superhuman capabilities along with sensory acuteness in all five senses and being able to detect the presence of magic. While they were considered to have a sixth sense to read minds, it was revealed to be just a combination of their heightened five senses to detect involuntary and voluntary body movements to determine possible intentions (known as cold reading) and changes in heart rate to determine if someone is lying or not, similar to a polygraph.
