Is it that time of the month again?

A subreddit dedicated to the most underrated awesome beasts known as werewolves. Vampires and Zombies suck ass. I mean, figuratively. Because literally, they do suck ass and other body parts.


Rules:
  1. Werewolves aren't real. /r/Werewolves is a community for those who wish to engage with werewolves as a fictional genre or trope. Users who wish to engage in discussion of "real" werewolves should move to supernatural, occult, or other related communities.

  2. No Horny Posting. /r/Werewolves no longer permits the posting of pornography or other explicit content. You should find a NSFW acceptable subreddit for this content. This includes comments.

  3. No sharing links or images of werewolf attire (printed or screen tee shirts, stickers, hats, or patches). Bots can and will enter the comment section of any post talking about clothing, and to reduce bot activity and protect users, this content must be banned.

Viking wolf

Just watched viking wolf on Netflix and was pleasantly surprised. It's better to watch it subbed than dubbed, imo but a refreshing and well-done lycanthrope adventure to be sure!

Should it just be the bite that turns people?

This has been bugging me for a good minute actually. Obviously werewolf bites turns people into werewolves but in some more individual lore I know people say that even just getting scratched by a werewolf will turn them or at the least give them abilities. From how it seems, the whole venom/magic/bacteria for the transformation lives in the saliva so getting a scratch doesn't make sense. Unless werewolf claws are like platypus claws. And yeah fiction has no rules but most of the time the scratching thing isn't ever really explained from what I've noticed.

Some more werewolf concept art. Or Vvilks as I like to call my version of them. Wanted to make a werewolf that leaned more into a primate physiology.

Are werewolves allowed on holy ground?

Howdy there, listening to Powerwolf right now and my pal asked me a question.

"how are they on holy ground?"

Is it like a vampire situation or are werewolves fine in church? On a full moon, of course.

One my favorite werewolf transformations ever! (Technically two!)

I love the idea of the military containing werewolves. It’s a really cool concept, and I love the TF!

Do you know werewolf-themed theater shows?

The only thing I found was this scene from an Italian musical where a boy imitates transforming into a dog and starts acting like one in a dance. What do you think?

A shame we never got a serious toned SMC with a werewolf protagonist

It would've been AWESOME. Especially if the main character was a goth teen and ecstatic when he found out he's cursed for a change, instead of hating it. He goes on werewolf adventures preferring them over homework and getting rejected by girls all the time etc. Excellent metaphor for alienated Goth youth.

A Saturday morning cartoon like that would've been a breath of fresh air and a huge alternative for introvert youngsters, instead of all the other stuff geared towards comic book readers and "girly" girls at the time. It'd best have come out during the Kids WB / 4 Kids TV era, mid 90s - mid 2000s.

Sadly, we only got cheesy comedies consisting of Fangface and Big Wolf On Campus - the latter being live action and having God awful special effects.

It can't hurt to dream of an alternate history where it premiered tho.

What's your outlook on this? Would it be a matter of answering the question "Is the world ready for this?" Because if a show sympathetic and exploratory of werewolf myths was an SMC, it would've only meant the death of that type of programming sooner than 2014.

Imagine how the Parents Television Council would've lost their shit over a teen lycanthrope series in the tone of Batman Beyond. I.e. calling it satanic, saying it'll make kids bite in school and other baseless lies.

It would've been sick, tho!

My own story of William Corvinus from underworld

William lived a very cruel childhood after losing his family after an attack of an evil army he was adopted by a couple they loved him as their own son then he grew up becoming a fierce warrior with a sword and an honorable hero who fights criminals, bandits, necromancers, evil mages, cults, vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghouls, skeletons, ghosts, wraiths, mummies, liches, goblins, orcs, ogres, trolls and etc but one day while fighting a werewolf he got bitten by him but luckily this werewolf can shapeshift into his werewolf or human form whenever he wants (like underworld lycans) then William became much stronger than before he liked himself as a werewolf because he can control himself and his transformation then he continued his journey and his duties as a warrior then he met an archer girl who's a daughter of count Alvin the girl's name was Sophia he saved her from a pack of ogres and he loved her she loved him too but her father refused him because he's a werewolf after a while there was an attack of an evil cult of vampires on the count's castle then the count got kidnapped by them then William rescued the count by destroying this cult then the count thanked William and he accepted him as his daughter's lover then they got married then they went into a mission together fighting orcs and goblins they succeed by killing the monsters after a while they had their first daughter Emma she was born as a powerful werewolf and she wanted to become a warrior like her father she can shapeshift into her werewolf or human whenever she wants after months they had their first son Adrian but he wasn't born a werewolf he was a human and he became an archer like his mother Sophia he didn't want to become a werewolf like William so he didn't force him to become one then they lived as a happy family.

Appearance as a human: Light brown skin with a black long hair, black eyes like Lucian, Tarzan and Mowgli

at the end i wanted to add that William here is a mortal like the original werewolf folklore/mythology he has the same form in the movie and vampires are undead too like the folklore not living like underworld
