The Werewolf FAQ
legolasdarkwood:
I happen to like Laurell K. Hamilton's take on lycanthropes in the Anita Blake series. On full moons and for inexperienced wolves, they are full wolves during their change. If they are experienced at other times they can control their change even down to just making their hands transform into claws. AND... there are wereleopards, wererats, werelions etc so forth, which I adore. So I use Genensims lovely furry skins to make hybrid werekitties. lol.
hugs,
Ar

That's how I've always pictured werewolves. And, yeah, I love Hamilton's weres. Like Erica, who could actually change just the bones in her face, changing her facial structure and therefore her entire look.

It was actually this guy

Who brought the full moon into the werewolf legend but as you'll see in his bio, very few bought into his idea until Hollywood did.
Wiki is cool

Almost every country had their own folklore and most of them were different. But you can't blame Hollywood for going with the Latvian myth of a wolf beast. If a man turned into a wolf that wouldn't really be scary. But a man with killer wolf attributes.. now that's a bit more frightning.
I also like how in Underworld 2 they play the evolution card. The first werewolf was werewolf permantley and they used evolution as a way to explain why they were later able to change back and finally they were able to change whenever. Gotta give him props for applying evolution to the supernatural.
Which reminds me.. the prequel should be getting underway soon.
SimMoon:
I come from a line of "shape shifters". My grandfather lay claim to that ability as did his father. My grandfather was Cheyenne. Now I enjoy a good "I was a teenage Werewolf" with Michael Landon, or Lon Chaney and Lon Chaney Jr.. they made an art of lycanthropy. So I like the guy in the suit. Afterall, the legend isn't an alternate reality, its a guy in a suit... kinda. Anyways, its not CG.

I'm so sleepy that I didn't find "the cure" at More Awesome...
