History[]
In 2267, James T. Kirk thought some of the Furies aboard the Rath resembled werewolves. (TOS novel: First Strike)
In 2269, a werewolf killed USS Enterprise Ensign Alonzo and was then disintegrated with a phaser by Captain James T. Kirk. The animal had been created in a genetic engineering lab on The Strand by Doctor Othello Beck, who lamented that he'd failed to keep the animal's predatory urges in check.
