Your werewolf

[UNODRAGONE]

Of all the werewolf legends, traits, ideals, etc. which legends/triats do you clamp together as being the true form of the werewolf? Here is mine:



1) Able to walk on two legs but typically sticks to four
2) Can shape shift at any moment but feels the full moons pull irresistible
3) Can only be killed by silver and fire
4) Is not formed by magic/curses but is either born this way or was bitten
5) Has no cognitive thought other than predator
6) Larger then the average wolf/largest dog breed
7) Slightly elongated fingers but still has paws
8) Changing process excruciatingly painful
9)Able to repair bodily damage in wolf form but not human
10) Fast metabolism and huge appetite
11) Is completely wild but not evil (not controlled by the devil)
12) Pentagrams keep it at bay
13) Wicked temper and strength

[Chiron Jackal]

Mobility: I like the idea of being able to go between walking on two legs and walking on four legs. Dematari made a great sketch of such mobility (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/360106/) on FurAffinity. If it just ain't reasonable then I'll go with four legs.

Shifting: I've never been a real fan of the uncontrollable shifting thing. I much prefer myths where werecreatures are either a species which can shift at will or where it's humans who shift through ritual.

Mortality: It makes sense that they might be harder to kill, but I don't buy into the amazing immortality thing. Lesson learned from videogames: even when you've picked up some bonus that makes you invincible to enemies and hazards such as spikey booby-traps, you can still fall to your death, get crushed to death, or drown.

Making A Werewolf: I feel like a heretic saying this, but I really hate the idea that one becomes a werewolf by being bitten. I'm personally in love with the idea of there being shapeshifting species - failing that, I like the idea of magical shapeshifting that someone has to dedicate years to practice to.

Thinking Thinky Thoughts: I know that having people go insane or running on pure instinct while in werewolf form makes for good movies since our heroes can then shift back to human in the morning and weep about what they've done. I hate the idea of werewolves as bad-guys though. I can accept the idea of the thought process being very different while in animal form, but I think they should still be capable of higher reasoning and should retain their human memories (though I suppose they may interpret them differently while shifted).

Good Vs. Evil: I forget what myth it's from (some native american one, I think) but the werewolf was portrayed as a good spirit. I feel in love with the idea - werewolves are total good guys.

[J.L.R.]

My views of werewolves is realized via my script and movie-to-be "Hour of Darkness". I could literally spend hours writing on this subject, as I've worked on it for several years now, but I will do my best to condense those concepts, without betraying and spoiling the story...

Origins: I've never been one to like the curse concept. Instead my "Wolves" are a distinct race that evolved along side man. They were the teachers of man, who taught man farming, hunting, and fishing, while man gave the Wolf the power of fire, of which the used to defeat an age old nemesis. Man and Wolf became close friends until the Wolf was betrayed by man. Some Wolves fled to the forests, became wild, and in due time lost the ability to speak and became dumb, while others infiltrated into human culture forsaking their wolf heritage completely... That would change though... In my mythology, the origin story is typically retold during the "Festival of Fire" as a memorial to Wolves everywhere as from where they came.

Shifting: Typically pain only occures during the first phase. My werewolves remain in human form until around the age of 11-13, and then at that time, they start experiencing, what I refer to as an "Awakening". Until that tender age, the inner Wolf is dormant, but as the onset of purbety draws closer, the inner Wolf begins to stir. Once a werewolf has had an awakening they will be able to take any variation between man and wolf. The "true" werewolf form is ONLY reserved for battles or Alpha challenges, most will either tranverse the world in human form or full wolf. The True form can vary though depending on the mentality of the individual. In short one werewolf will lean more toward the wolf than the other. A good example is female werewolves. When they are in True form, the human to wolf ratio is typically 80% human to 20% Wolf. Males are typically opposite of this, being 80% Wolf and 20% human... They can shift at will, although doing so burns up a lot of calories, and if they aren't careful they could pass out from exhaustion.

Culture: My wolves have a distinct culture that reflects both the worlds of humanity and that of the Wolf. Their race is divided into 12 distinct Orders (I simply used various Wolf species, such as Nubilus, Baileyi, and so on and so forth). Each Order has its own Alpha, that sort of acts as a governor. There is also a High Alpha, who's role is that of a "king". The High Alpha has absolute authority without question, and the only way to dethrone such an Alpha is through mortal combat (OMG I almost spelled that with a K!) typically called a Challenge. If the challenger wins, the former High Alpha is collared (They are forced to take full wolf form and then collared to prevent shifting) and banished. This prevents the former Alpha from trying to get back at the victor. Collaring is reserved only for serious offenders and banished Alpha's. However, some factions of werewolves have been known to kidnap younger Wolves, collaring them, and then selling them to humans as slaves. *note* Shifting is like a muscle, the longer you go without using it, the more useless it becomes. In short if a collared werewolf stays collared, they will completely revert to that locked form. Young werewolves who are collared, will usually end up domesticated guard dogs.

My werewolves also have their own religious beliefs...

Language: My Werewolves have their own language. Typically most wolves speak the native tongues of their human counterparts, however, for obvious reasons, while they are in True form, the mouth moves different. This was realized early on, and a new language was birthed.

Powers: Wolves can heal faster than humans, no matter the form. They have hightened senses that can be used no matter which form they choose. Awesome strenght and intellect (one reason humanity tried to kill them all).

Well that is all for now. :rockon:

[Chiron Jackal]

My werewolves also have their own religious beliefs...

I love you. My love of werewolves and my love of religion and philosophy came together and left me contemplating what the spiritual beliefs of a werewolf would be.

Somewhere I have a notebook where I wrote down all my ideas on the subject and things I could extrapolate from how they exist in different human cultures - when I find it I am TOTALLY sharing it with you.

[J.L.R.]

Yes, I created a fully functioning religion and various sects of that religion for my werewolves. They believe in the Creator, and while I am a Christian, I can't stress this enough, that while their beliefs carry some of the same values as mine, there are massive fundamental differences. In short I am not writing "Chronicles of Narnian Werewolves". In fact my werewolves share a polanthera of religious concepts that I drew from several different sources, such as Native American lore, my own faith, Egyptian... Some werewolves reference the Almighty, as Yinepu (It is a coptic term for Anubis). In short, as a great philosopher once said, "There are values that all religions share," and those are the values I sought for with HOD. In short, I want people to enjoy the story and relate to the characters no matter where you stand on the belief pole. :notworthy:

I just had to add a bit more...

When it came to the Werewolves of HOD, I wanted to give them a mythology and identity all their own. Most literature that I read, movies I watched, and so on and so forth, really monopolized on the "animal" aspect of the creature, but always seemed to forget that even though they are wolves part of the time, they are also human part of the time as well.

In HOD, the Werewolves elect a "Historian" who is the keeper of their past. It is the historian's duty to write down the important events of the time, in their "Book of Legends". This is a book that is technically never finished. It is the story of their life. Young werewolves go to their own school... (Hogwarts for WEREWOLVES! well not really) where they learn from the Book of Legends as well as how to be what they are and do what werewolves do best.

[JoshtheWolf]

Here's mine:

1. Able to switch between two legs and four legs

2. Can transform at any moment, but has to during a Full Moon.

3. Silver-white fur.

4. Can only be killed by silver bullets.

5. Blood-red eyes (with the ability to change color to emerald-green when content)

6. A big larger than average size

7. Sharp claws

8. Able to heal, but only in werewolf form

9. Walks a thin line between villain and anti-hero, but at the same time is willing to help out those who need help

10. Mood = Solemn, Ferocious, Loving, Merciless, Bloodthirsty (if they deserve it), Loyal to Friends and Family, and Wild.

[Chiron Jackal]

5. Blood-red eyes (with the ability to change color to emerald-green when content)

Why?

[J.L.R.]

Why?

I guess... because... :confused:

Can't really give points for creativity though, as this sounds like something straight out of World of Darkness... oh well... :D

Hey, World of Darkness doesn't have anything quite that hokey!

[McKitty]

I actually have two versions (three if you count my WoD ones for the games) that I use. One version is from my urban fantasy book Branded, the other is for my YA series that I'm still fleshing out. I suppose I'll toss the Branded ones up here.

Origin
In the alternate-earth of the Branded series, there is a heaven and a hell. These are guarded by Hellhounds, creatures sent to make sure that once souls cross over the "river" Styx that separates this world from the next, that they stay here. When Creation was still new, and Heaven and Hell hadn't divided yet, one of the newly created Hellhounds, not yet fully cemented in his role, crossed the divide between the worlds by following what he believed was a rogue spirit trying to escape. In reality, he was following a spirit's reincarnation path and the two souls became one.

That child was the first full-blooded wolf-soul. All purebred wolves are descended from her. After time, a second, weaker strain branched from this family line, but I'll get into that later. Maybe.

Shifting and Other Quirks
Wolfsouled people are able to change as soon as they start to leave the toddler phase of life. Usually this first Change is brought on with a temper-tantrum, or a moment of total excitement.

The werewolf has two aspects: the human, the blessed, and the wolf. When they take on the human aspect, it's as if they've always been regular humans. There's nothing supernatural about their nature, but they cannot call upon their supernatural abilities. No increased healing, no heightened senses, nothing.

The Blessed aspect is when the wolfsoul "awakes" the part of her soul that is still touched by the Hellhound's nature. She is now visable to the supernatural community as one of them. Her senses grow sharper, she can heal in this state, and she's much more powerful than a human. This state is also the first to hold drawbacks: their temper shortens and they can easily fall into a bloodlust that sparked the countless legends of man-eating wolves. The Blessed aspect allow allows the person to shapeshift into a wolf about the size of a large pony.

Shapeshifting itself is a costly transformation. This power comes from the fact that the Hellhound that blended with the human soul was still mallable and newborn from Creation. While it's not painful, it is uncomfortable until the werewolf becomes used to her entire body redesigning itself. One of the Alpha challenges is to see how long they can drag out the change. If you can endure that inbetween state longest, your will is stronger and you have the right to rule. Once a werewolf shifts, they cannot change back until their body has recovered some, and they've eaten. Werewolves can die if they try to change back-to-back too often.

Life, Death, and Beyond
If left alone, a werewolf could potentially live forever as the transformation renews the body at it's basic level with every change. Werewolves cannot scar because of this regrowth.

They can be killed however. Anything that could kill a normal person can kill a werewolf that's in her human aspect and if she cannot awaken her soul in time. In their Blessed states, only silver can affect them since it is a metal associated with purity and the werewolf's nature is, by the blending of the other side of the Styx and here, impure.

Most werewolves die and become ancestor-spirits or ghosts. Because of their nature, they cannot cross the river styx and they cannot rejoin the cycle of reincarnation. Another, worse fate happens to any werewolf who tastes human flesh: They become Branded and on the next full-moon, they are changed into a Hellhound.

[Ulfstan]

Even before I found Asatru I thought of werewolves in a sort of Nordic sense. By that I mean that I've always felt that werewolves and werecreatures in general were apart from society, at least to a degree, because of what they are and because of the specifics of their shapeshifting. While in the wolf form they have little control over their actions, taken for the most part by the frenzy of battle, and are still similar enough in overall shape to humans that they are able to fight like humans with swords and axes and halberds and such. Impervious to weapons and able to change whenever they like, though in changing back it isn't clear if they can do it, they're definitely the most terrifying force on the battlefield.

Now, ideally, I'd like to be in full control of my mental faculties if only to protect people I may be trying to defend or fight alongside, but I know that I'm the kind of person who would need that little bit of push from the "wolf inside" so to speak to really get myself into the fray 110%. Other than that, I can't think of anything that isn't in the Germanic picture of a shapeshipfter that I don't like. I enjoy being out on the fringes of society and the extra bit of freedom that provides, even if it does make some things less convenient.

MINE!!
1. Can change from man to wolf or anywhere in between at will.

2. Must change into their half form [the form most commonly depicted] during the full mon; they have no control over this, and they usually don't remember the night of the full moon in the morning.

3. Fur color depends on the color of the human form's hair.

4. Silver only hurts the werewolf if it touches the blood/enters the bloodstream.

5. Shifting forms is extremely painful, but also slightly plaesureable to the werewolf, as they are used to it and welcome the change.

6. Has advanced strength, but all the vulnerablilities of a human. More regenerative than homo sapiens, but not lightning-fast; takes apporoximately hours to days to heal a wound that would take a human approximately weeks or months.

7. Very fast metabolism and huge appetite.

8. Religion varies, and there is no religious symbol that keeps it at bay.

9. Not all good or evil. Depends on the individual disposition of each werewolf.

10. Has cognitive thought in wolf and/or half-wolf form. Only during full moon do they lose cogniive thought and their instict and predatory nature take over.

There's more, but it'll take forever to type it all. Besides, I've got to keep the mystery, lol.
These are just my opinions...

[jckrussll89]

My Werewolf

1. Superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and agility

2. Canid level senses such as average sight, slightly enhanced hearing, and exponentially enhanced smelling.

3. Shapeshifting ability is initially determined by environmental factors that would most likely cause a predatory reaction such as hunger, being startled, being injured, etc. Can become willful with training.

4. Can be either solitary or pack based. Most of the time pack based for survival reasons. Have similar behavior to humans in terms of social lives. Good and evil not a factor.

5. Transforms into a wolf-like being that can be either bipedal or quadrupedal and possesses forepaws that can still be used to grip weapons and such.

6. Naturally at odds with other preternatural predators such as vampires, gaki, wendigos, etc. It is more instinctually motivated than by genuine hatred.

7. Possesses an accelerated healing factor but not to the extent portrayed in modern interpretations.

8. Ability to adapt to physical trauma. For example: if tetrodetoxin is used to drug the werewolf, a larger dose would be needed to accomplish the desired effect, lest the wolf stirs, changes, and attacks disorented. Can also develop a resistance(not immunity) to weapons.

9. Can be killed by convential, but exaggerated means. For example, they can be shot to death but it requires more ammunition to accomplish the desired effect.

10. Suffer from a culture bound disorder known as moon rage, which causes certain intividuals to feel compelled to engage in surplus killing on nights of the full moon.

[Chiron Jackal]

My were comes from an acient bloodline you guys know the type.

Since everyone else actually wrote pretty interesting and detailed descriptions you might want to join the club...

[Sian Black Peril]

Sorry about that I was just trying to up my first 10 posts...

My were's name is Kamduis, she was born from the line of the patron goddess Luna & her mate Wulf.

The fifth daughter of the pair, she fell to the earthen plane after seeking all she could to know about it. Though in doing so she lost her memory of who she was & what she had come to the earthen plane for...all she knew was this drive to find her human counterpart & teach them the ways of the wolf.

[BlueCresentmoon]

here's My Werewolf...

1) able to switch between four legs, and two legs at will.

2)Immense strength

3) eyes=red iris with slitted pupils

4) fur=Grayish fur with some brown streaks.

5) weapons=huge, bloodstained retractable claws.

6)shifting ability= shifts at will, but the moon grants him full power and strength whereas shifting at will gets him half.
(he draws strength and power from the moon pretty much)

7)Good or bad= anti-hero.





:D:droolbld: :beerchug: Merry Christmas!

:)

[Chiron Jackal]

3) eyes=red iris with slitted pupils

Why?

[CatBoxed]

Mine likes Skittles.

Occasionally it goes outside to peer at the common folk. Can't fault it for that, though, there's many a peasant been ate by that ol' feller.

Skittles seem to keep it in line, though. There's something about 2 reds, a purple and a green that just make those eyes light up with the realization of the holiday season.

That, and the huge boner he pops as he sits on his haunches waiting for those Skittles, bless his soul.

[NeonLightChild]

Just be sure to limit him so he doesn't develop insulin resistance from all that sugar. And take care of his teeth too...lots of raw bones to scrub away all that tartar to prevent cavities and periodontal disease. Mrs CatBoxed probably doesn't appreciate werewolf-breath!

[Moreau]

lol nice.

Well, here goes, not my invented werewolf but the one I wish existed.

Forget the middle man, it's all wolf or all (wo)man.

The moon cycle really has nothing to do with it.

Eye color will be the same in both wolf and human form.

Fur color directly corresponds to hair color.

Human mind and wolf mind in perfect unison, being able to draw on the strenghts of both.

Would take a lot of work, but isolated shifting. For example, just a hand or just hair. That would apply to the senses as well. Being able to change specifically your olfactory glands and whatnot.

I suppose that's it.

[<\Mutt/>]

Most of you are correct
1. we do switch between two and four legs.
2. we are allergic to not only silver but also rye
3.we become a werewolf from genetics and or being bitten (though bitten is a whole new breed.
4.eyes remain same through transformation.
5.we die of normally old age.
6.we can heal cuts and fix limbs quick but if a limb is torn off then it is gone.
7.change whenever we want
8. irresistable change under fullmoon, same with sex, rage hunger.
9.goes by pack in families
10. darkest color of fur is usually leader.

In a previous thread you stated that its very difficult to change... at least stick to ONE story please :)

I really hate to complain, but i alredy got a flood of these when i first joined and i am trying to stop the flow and just to give out my knowledge and criticism here. I only believe in werewolves 5% of the time and that is when i am writing my book. I play both sides against the middle and devils advocate on this site. :banghead:

[kathryn]

Here's my version of a werewolf:

1. It is purely genetic.
2. Werewolves are carnivorous.
3. They can transform at will, though if they wear constricting clothing, or if they are drunk, hurt, or if their emotions are high, it is difficult and painful.
4. They cannot transform into a full wolf.
5. The largest or strongest one is the leader.
6. Packs are mobile and only have up to 15 members, usually only 6 members.
7. They heal just as fast as a normal human.
8. They are deathly allergic to silver or quicksilver, and if they intake any vegetables, they become sick.
9. The only possible hair colors is the color of a wolf's fur. Eye color is the same between transformations.
10. The transformed werewolf looks like a large, fuzzy man beast that can go from standing up to being on all fours. The human form looks like a normal human.
11. They are not immortal and only live as long as a human.

[Net]

Well, I don't know any of the tales or legends or history of werewolves. Yeah, I suck. :( BUT! Since you said "your" meaning, MY werewolf, I can put whatever one I think would be ideal. ^_^

1)Will almost always use 4 legs, using 2 only if absolutely needs to. Or for threat purposes.

2)Shifting can be done on any night, but not during the day. As long as the moon can be seen by that person, he/she can shift. New moon=No shift. Full moon=Person looking for any reason to shift, but he can resist it if he needs/wants to.

3)Can, of course, be killed by silver. However, the blow still has to be enough to kill a giant beast. A single gunshot or a knife stab most likely won't take it down. Fire will only work if the fire stays and is not put out. If the fire is put out before the werewolf is most definitely dead, the werewolf will survive.

4)Can be obtained by magic or heredity. Getting bitten or cursed into lycanthropy will result in zero control when shifted.

5)Person will have full control unless cursed or bitten. Years of lycanthropy will naturally give more control over the affair. The smarter you are in human form, the more control you will have over your shifted form. Therefore, kindergartener or a retarded guy will have no control, regardless of where they are coming from.

6)Size varies, but will usually stick to the actual size of the human form of the person. If it's a small person, werewolf form will also be about the same size, if not slightly smaller.

7)Hands are shortened. All fingers (and thumb) will be one joint fewer, but thicker. Feet will shorter much more and be more like paws than the hands.

8)Changing process is not particularly painful, but it stings and feels EXTREMELY awkward under the skin. Most people will use some kind of painkiller, some of the older ones simply using aspirin to help with the headache.

9)Human form can't regenerate faster than normal human body capabilities. Werewolf form will regenerate any non-silver damage noticeably fast, while silver damage will only heal while in wolf form, at a normal human rate. Human form will not heal silver damage at all.

10)Metabolism is fast and appetite is high while in wolf form to supplement regenerative properties. Human form will have normal metabolism. Werewolf form will also have normal human metabolism if the werewolf never takes any damage (why eat a lot if the body won't use it).

11)Assuming the person has been a werewolf for long enough, even if they were bitten and not born, they will be in full control. Whether or not they turn to good or evil is their choice. Though, a disproportionate number of them usually turn to evil at some point.

12)Though a small amount of silver won't kill it, it is deathly afraid of it. Any of it nearby will stop it in it's tracks and make them give you a wide berth. Signs won't stop it. Incantations must be werewolf-specific and physical. Just yelling out random hoop-blah won't do anything.

13)Strength is disproportionately large, though it is usually not noticeable. This stems from the new muscle simply being more efficient than human muscle. Werewolves, either in human OR in wolf form, will sometimes undergo a form of "roid-rage". Pissing ANY of them off at any time other than a new moon would be...unfortunate. Though, older ones will be able to control themselves.

14)Lung and vocal cord shape and placement change of course, but it is still something of a hybrid of human and wolf vocal cords. A werewolf can still talk in normal human language, but the voice will be different. It will not always be gruff, but it will ALWAYS be different that the person's human voice.

Using thread-starter as a template.

[fencerabroad]

Well, I really like a pretty wide variety of werewolves in stories depending on the author's purpose, but here is my personal favorite to write pure fantasy with:

Characteristics in human Form:
1)Often do not show up until the werewolf is older.
2)Tendencies that vary by mood and control:
-Eyes turning gold
-Sharpening teeth
-Growl
-Keen smell and hearing (definitely not sight though. Real wolves have poor vision.)
3)Warmth (and yes, I did have that down before twilight, while we are n the topic, Vampires are evil and have fangs)
4)Often keep up some lupine instincts

In Wolf Form:
1)Full transformation (sometimes a bit big but not impossibly so)
2)Partial transformation is possible but very rare and takes control
3)Transformation generally on call (sometimes extreme situations force it one way or the other)
4)Except in extenuating circumstances can keep human thought

^Simple is good! Also, I liked that you mentioned the gold eye color. It's a wolf characteristic, yet somehow I totally forgot about it. Same for the eyesight thing. Both of them I had actually researched before, but I had totally forgotten about it. Nice. :beerchug:

[Pyrante Tanpelt]

My werewolf: Anthro-wolf (wolf head, furry human-like body and height, paws and claws, wolfy tail)
<b>Shapeshift:</b> Change at will, but hormones affected by full moon.
<b>Size:</b> Large sized and bulky, with body builder muscles
<b>Mental capacity:</b> Wolf instincts unhindered by human thoughts, telepathic and group mind thinker. Live in human structured society and clans.
<b>Instincts:</b> Doggy behaviour and keen sense to hunt prey

[mathion]

:wave:Hey guys! New here, though if anyone frequents the Superhero Hype! Boards, you might know me better as dark_sentinel. I've been fascinated with werewolves since I can remember, and I tend to believe the following when it comes to werewolves (or the Kânín, as I call them in my writings..as soon as I'm able to I'll post some of them in the appropriate section):

Abilities: virtual immortality, quadripedal wolf-form, enhanced strength, speed, regenerative capabilities, sense of smell and vision. Werewolves are able to transform at will, but are more compelled to transform during the full moon cycle, and are far stronger during the second night of the cycle.

Weaknesses: primarily silver. Enhanced allergic reaction, almost anaphylactic: any contact with skin can result in a burning, smoldering bruise. If silver makes contact with the blood, the reaction intensifies and the body literally burns. A shallow cut will smoke and smolder and severely injure, but not kill.

"Becoming" a Werewolf: impossible. The whole biting thing is complete Hollywood, and so I don't buy into it. The only way to be a "purebred" werewolf is to be born a werewolf, however "halfbreeds" can be made by either consuming a werewolf's blood or drinking water out of a werewolf's pawprint under a full moon (an actual folkloric legend). BUT, a werewolf's bite is deadly, as their saliva is (in my mind) riddled with bacteria, similar to a Komodo dragon, and will thus kill you.

That's pretty much all I got for now, but there you go. Comments and criticisms are encouraged. Thanks guys, look forward to posting here more in the future!

[buzzsaw133]

My version of a werewolf is a compilation of almost all other fictions, historic accounts, and personal experiences.

1) Moon only has effect on Beta Lycans, or those who willingly let the moon have an effect.
2) The moon only changes the amount of pheromones and adrenaline readily released by a lycan.
3) Extreme emotions can activate a transformation, or having rough sex.
4) The number of legs depends on the werewolf, as well as heritage.
5) Extremely protective and territorial over people, possessions, and turf.
6) Many genetic variations are to be taken into account when considering what they will look like after transformation.

[Coinin]

Personsnally I disagree with everything but 3,5,9 and 12

but let's stick with #3, the Silver bullets and fire were invented during the victorian era and have been popularized by Hollywood. It was never there before that. However I realize not everyone has the same veiw so believe what you will. Have a wonderful day.

You're missing the point. This thread isn't about what is right or wrong - it's about what would YOU prefer the Werewolf to have?

[Kumutamos]

Of all the werewolf legends, traits, ideals, etc. which legends/triats do you clamp together as being the true form of the werewolf? Here is mine:



1) Able to walk on two legs but typically sticks to four
2) Can shape shift at any moment but feels the full moons pull irresistible
3) Can only be killed by silver and fire

lmao id hate to flip all yu think you know about werewolves around, but here i go.
1. when we shift, as far as i know, we usually go for 4 legs considering we shift into a wolf except larger
2.There are different types of werewolves, and none of us 'feel the pull of the moon irresistable', only lycans are forced to shift on full moon, thats it
3. Silver doesnt affect us, averything that can kill someone normal can kill us, just were a lot more harder to kill
4. youre correct on number 4
5.when were human we are just as normal and think just as logically as you do, we dont think eat kill eat kill our whole lives
6. youre correct on number 6 i guess
7.no, when we have fully shifted we gatz paws, but if we are just partial p shifting, then yeah, we got claws
8.eh, kinda a guess when you forced into it, otherwise it just takes a lot of concetration
9. um no, we heal quickly whatever we are
10. eh lol i could handle a pancake all you can eat buffet i guess lol
11. lmao wht you talking about??we not wild, if we were wild a hellova lot more people would know about us, be dead, or be werewolves themselves
12.lmao pentagrams? really? pentagrams?lmao pentagrams, that wouldnt stop us
13. every werewolf has there own uniqe personalitly just like every human, but we are pretty strong lol.
any other questions, you can ontact me or go to a site for people like us, http://werewolfswebsite.webs.com

1. when we shift, as far as i know, we usually go for 4 legs considering we shift into a wolf except largerProve it.

only lycans are forced to shift on full moon, thats itLycan is short for lycanthrope and means the precise same thing as Werewolf. You fail.

7.no, when we have fully shifted we gatz paws, but if we are just partial p shifting, then yeah, we got clawsThat doesn't make sense. Unless you say you shift into a full wolf that doesn't have claws which seems ridiculously silly. Wolves have claws, why wouldn't a full-form werewolf? Can you explain? Do you have any proof?

11. lmao wht you talking about??we not wild, if we were wild a hellova lot more people would know about us, be dead, or be werewolves themselvesI don't know, you seem very uneducated.

1. Perhaps YOU can only turn into a wolf but I have multiple forms thank you very much.

2.The full moon is actually when we don't change form because if we are out and about it's easier to be seen. P.S. Lycan is an abbreviation of lycanthrope and that's what our species is, there's no special "were" that isn't a lycanthrope.

3. We are only more difficult to kill in our shifted form as our healing powers are stronger then. Silver has no effect on everyone but some do have allergies to certain metals such as gold, copper, and iron.

4.There are none that are bitten, you either are or you aren't.

5. Depends on the individual. Some are more blood thirsty than others but generally we do retain human thought patterns while in alternate forms.

6.Obviously you don't know very much about lyncathropes because some are not larger versions at all. Just as there are short and tall people there are large and small lycanthropes. Were-chihuahua mind you.

7. When we are shifted we don't have fingers we have paws and toes. I've never measured the toes though so I don't know if they are longer.

8. Who needs to concentrate? Do you concentrate breathing? Sorry but it's a natural function and it can't be forced by someone. You either do or not do. (And no it doesn't hurt unless you are injured)

9. I'm clarifying on this one because you obviously don't pay attention. Yes injuries can be healed in both forms otherwise as humans we'd be walking papercuts and bruises. But when in our alternate form we do heal faster.

10.We don't eat pancakes or do buffets. Do you know the germs in buffets from all the people eating there! Ew! We tend to eat meat more rare and more meat than the average person but generally our intake depends on the lycanthrope.

11. True not wild but our animal forms do make us more primal. I don't know why you think this is so funny though. The statement wasn't saying shifters are all mindless monsters.

12. I suppose it would depend on the religious natures of the lycanthropes. I have no problem with pentagrams but I do know some christians that do.

13.Yes each person is different but please don't go to that site. It's full of people who just pretend they are something special when really they are all sad, lonely, pathetic people who grasp at anything to make them believe they are special and give life meaning. If it wasn't werewolves it would be the bible.

Fee fy fo fum, I smell tr00 w3r3 to be burnt...

Be it said that I woke from my slumber feeling a disturbance in the force, I immediatelly thought some numbnuts had posted here.

I can't add much to my fellow homies here, but...

It seems you had a serious seizure there, you might wanna get that checked out.

no, when we have fully shifted we gatz paws, And than we rawrz ar mighty rawrz!

but if we are just partial p shifting
My p sometimes partially shifts sometimes, normally to the sides.

.lmao pentagrams? really? pentagrams?lmao pentagrams, that wouldnt stop us

I'm fairly sure you dunno what geometry is, let alone what a pentagram is.

I really think we should hire a hacker to destroy his site like the old ww.com was destroyed...

EDIT: If your pee is shifting, you really should see a doctor about it. You might have a sexually transmitted disease.
