For two seasons, Wednesday has shown audiences glimpses of a supernatural world simmering beneath the gothic walls of Nevermore Academy. Hydes. Werewolves. Sirens.
Three predator species that don’t simply coexist — they collide.

Season 2 pushed these tensions to their breaking point, and now, heading into Season 3, all signs point to a hidden war finally erupting into full-scale conflict. The clues have been there since Tyler Galpin’s first transformation, Enid Sinclair’s long-awaited wolfing-out, and Bianca Barclay’s increasingly dangerous mastery over siren manipulation.

Here’s the complete breakdown of the centuries-old rivalry driving the series — and why Season 3 is poised to unleash the biggest supernatural showdown Wednesday Addams has ever faced.

What Makes Hydes, Werewolves, and Sirens the “Predator Class” of Outcasts

In the world of Wednesday, outcasts aren’t simply humans with powers — they are distinct supernatural species with their own histories, instincts, and political hierarchies.
Among them, three stand apart:

• Hydes: lethal mutations triggered by trauma

• Werewolves: pack-structured shapeshifters ruled by hierarchy

• Sirens: psychological predators who manipulate minds with their voice

While most outcasts coexist peacefully, these three species are locked in an evolutionary rivalry shaped by fear, power, and survival. Their fundamental natures contradict each other — and that’s what makes conflict inevitable.

HYDES: The Most Feared, Most Misunderstood Monsters in Wednesday’s Universe

Tyler Galpin is the audience’s window into Hyde mythology — and his evolution hints at something far darker than Season 1 ever explained.

Hydes Aren’t Born Evil — They’re Created

A Hyde remains dormant until extreme emotional trauma “unlocks” its monstrous form. Once activated, the creature becomes a killing machine capable of:

• overpowering werewolves

• outrunning almost every outcast

• slaughtering with surgical brutality

But unlike traditional horror creatures, Hydes evolve.

Tyler’s Transformation Changed Everything

At first, Tyler experienced memory gaps — the perfect weapon for Laurel Gates. But as he transformed more often, he began remembering the violence… and then enjoying it.

By the Season 1 finale, Tyler wasn’t just a monster being controlled — he was a predator making choices.

Season 2 confirmed the most chilling part of Hyde lore:
a Hyde can remain fully conscious in monster form.

That is the true reason Nevermore banned Hydes thirty years ago. They aren’t unpredictable — they are too predictable. Too sentient. Too efficient.

The Master Problem

Hydes imprint on a master, and losing that master drives them toward physical and mental collapse. Without guidance, their bodies deteriorate, their sanity slips, and hallucinations intensify with every transformation.

Tyler is facing this exact decline.

And that brings us to the character who understands Hydes better than anyone else…

WEREWOLVES: A Species Built on Hierarchy, Instinct, and Violent Tradition

Werewolves value order. Pack structure. Rules. But one event destabilizes everything:
the rise of an alpha.

Enid Sinclair’s Transformation Changed Werewolf Politics Forever

After two seasons of waiting, Enid finally wolfs out — not as a beta, but as an alpha wolf, the most feared (and least understood) role in werewolf society.

According to werewolf lore introduced in Season 2:

• alphas who transform under a full moon

• risk becoming permanently trapped in wolf form

• and are considered threats that must be eliminated

Once an alpha slips too far, the pack hunts them down — not out of cruelty, but survival.

Enid Is Now a Target

She saved Wednesday’s life by fully transforming under the full moon.
She dug her best friend out of a grave.
And then she ran — into the wilderness, unable to turn back.

Every beta werewolf now sees her as a threat.

The bright, optimistic girl who always wanted to belong is now the most hunted creature in the werewolf world.

SIRENS: The Silent Power Behind Nevermore’s Politics

Physical strength isn’t the sirens’ weapon — influence is.

Bianca’s Power Makes Sirens the Most Dangerous Species of All

A single whisper from a siren can manipulate:

• emotions

• decisions

• memories

• identity

Unlike Hydes or Werewolves, Sirens are fully conscious and morally accountable for everything they do. That’s why no one fully trusts them.

The Siren Network

Bianca’s rise at Nevermore wasn't accidental. She understands how institutions work — and how to bend them. She is:

• a master strategist

• a political operator

• a product of Gabrielle’s cult-like siren empire

Sirens don’t need claws or fangs.
They can turn allies into weapons and enemies into puppets.

And that makes them essential — and terrifying — players in the looming conflict.

THE CORE OF THE CONFLICT: CONTROL VS INSTINCT

The rivalry between Hydes, Werewolves, and Sirens comes down to one thing:

Who controls whom?

Hydes vs. Werewolves

• Hydes reject hierarchy → werewolves require it

• Hydes are chaos → werewolves are order

• Hydes are banned → werewolves enforce the ban

They are both apex predators — but with opposite philosophies.

Sirens vs. Everyone

Sirens undermine the very ideas of:

• free will

• instinct

• dominance

To a Hyde or a Werewolf, that feels like cheating.
To a Siren, it’s simply power.

THE CHARACTER WHO CONNECTS ALL THREE SPECIES: PROFESSOR ISADORA CAPRI

Capri is quietly one of the most important characters in the entire show.

She is:

• a werewolf by birth

• the daughter of a Hyde father

• the survivor of a Hyde attack by the man she loved

• the founder of a support system for reformed Hydes

Her life embodies the entire outcast conflict.

The Alfie Penn Tragedy

Capri once loved a Hyde artist named Alfie Penn — unaware he was under the control of his master, Minerva Garrick. When Garrick grew jealous, she ordered Alfie to kill Capri.

On a full-moon night, Alfie attacked her.

Capri transformed into her wolf form and survived.
In the chaos, Alfie accidentally killed his master — breaking his own mind in the process.

This trauma shaped Capri’s understanding of Hyde psychology better than any textbook.

WHY TYLER AND ENID ARE ON A COLLISION COURSE IN SEASON 3

The final scenes of Season 2 place Tyler and Enid on parallel — and equally tragic — paths.

Tyler joins Capri’s reformed Hyde collective

His physical deterioration is accelerating. Without a master, he is dying. Capri’s group may be the only thing keeping his mind intact.

Enid is trapped in wolf form

She cannot shift back without intervention. Beta wolves are already tracking her. Without help, she will be hunted down and killed.

Wednesday’s mission is clear

Season 2 ends with Fester’s motorcycle roaring into the night:

“Find Enid before the beta wolves do.”

But Wednesday cannot fight an entire pack alone.

And that’s where this theory becomes explosive.

THE ALLIANCE NO ONE EXPECTED: HYDES PROTECTING A WEREWOLF

Imagine the scene:

Five reformed Hydes — creatures rejected by every corner of outcast society — standing between Enid and a pack of werewolf assassins.

Tyler Galpin, once Nevermore’s greatest threat, now risking his deteriorating body to protect the one species Hydes were raised to despise.

Enemies becoming allies out of necessity — not forgiveness.

This is the war brewing beneath Wednesday’s narrative:

• Werewolf law vs. Hyde survival

• Instinct vs. consciousness

• Tradition vs. evolution

And Wednesday Addams, caught in the middle, racing against time to save the only person who ever broke her emotional defenses.

WHAT SEASON 3 IS REALLY BUILDING TOWARD

For two seasons, the show has focused on murder mysteries and psychological horror.
Season 3 appears ready to escalate into something much bigger:

✔ A supernatural civil war

✔ The fall of old outcast hierarchies

✔ Hybrid alliances long considered impossible

✔ The redemption — or destruction — of Tyler Galpin

✔ The survival of the last alpha wolf

Hydes vs. Werewolves isn’t the real question anymore.

The real question is:

Will Hydes and Werewolves go to war with each other… or together against the forces that want them both dead?

FINAL THOUGHTS

The “secret war” of Wednesday has been in motion since Season 1, but Season 2 finally ignited it:

• Hydes are collapsing without masters.

• Werewolves are enforcing brutal traditions.

• Sirens are manipulating every institution touched by outcasts.

• Enid and Tyler — two hunted predators — are running out of time.

Season 3 isn’t just about solving mysteries.
It’s about rewriting the supernatural food chain of Nevermore.

And when the war comes, alliances will form in the unlikeliest places — even between the very monsters who were taught to hate each other.
