The Lupine Wavelength Haemovariform had a [[humanoid]] body which resembled a bipedal [[wolf]], but could also run on all fours. Haemovariforms had very sensitive ears. It had fur which covered its body and a wolf-like head, as well as a [[tail]]. Their [[vision]] was [[monochrome|monochromatic]]. Haemovariforms were highly resistant to bullets and they were able to be made to think that they were allergic to mistletoe. The only known way to kill a Haemovariform was over-exposure to the [[moonlight]] on which they thrived, like a [[plant]] in relation to [[sunlight]], though the Doctor indicated that [[silver]] [[bullet]]s would work as well.

A Haemovariform crash-landed on [[Earth]] in [[1540]]. Father [[Angelo (Tooth and Claw)|Angelo]]'s [[Brethren]] turned from God and began to worship it. It took up a [[The Host|young boy's]] body. The Brethren managed to tame it whilst in wolf-form by tricking it into believing it was allergic to [[mistletoe]]. It wanted to begin the "[[Empire of the Wolf]]", planning on biting and possessing [[Victoria|Queen Victoria]] and taking control of the world. The Brethren managed to plot a scheme to get Victoria to stay at [[Torchwood House]], however [[Albert|Prince Albert]] and [[George MacLeish]] had already devised a plan to kill it, using the [[Koh-i-Noor]] and a "telescope", actually a [[light chamber]], to drown it in moonlight. When she arrived in [[1879]], a battle broke out between the Brethren and Victoria's soldiers. The [[Tenth Doctor]] managed to work out how to kill it and used the Koh-i-Noor against it. It is unknown whether Victoria was exposed to Haemovariform cells and had partially become a host. If so, the Doctor hypothesised that the entire subsequent Royal family might be partial Haemovariforms, which was believed by the public to be the blood disorder haemophilia.
