Step 1 Werewolf Knowledge and History

The legend of the werewolf is one of the most ancient and wide spread. Stories of werewolves can be found as far back as history has been written. These shape-shifter myth's can be found all over the word from China to Iceland and Brazil to Haiti.

The name Werewolf most likely derives from Old English wer (or were) and wulf. The first part, wer, translates as "man" (in the sense of male human, not the race of humanity). It has cognates in several Germanic languages including Gothic wair, Old High German wer and Old Norse var, as well as in other Indo-European languages, such as Latin vir, Lithuanian vyras and Welsh gwr, which have the same meaning.

The second half, wulf, is the ancestor of modern English "wolf"; in some cases it also had the general meaning "beast". An alternative etymology derives the first part from Old English weri (to wear); the full form in this case would be glossed as wearer of wolf skin.

[becki_boo666]

what do you need help with i am a hunter so i have alot of knowledge about this kind of stuff?

[bloodsucker420]

help with what i have alot of knowledge

[sandymanic]

yeah... as a researcher on therianthopy, i can tell you werewolves, or any were beings are nothing like portrayed in this guide, its a spiritual view, not a physical change, a therian is just a human with animalistic traits that mentally and spiritually surface from occasion to occasion, they aren't a threat and do not need to be killed, and if you do you are a murderer by human court of law, nor do they have supernatural endurance,

[gmartinez17]

Well, people please stop all of this. none of you are werewolves, they dont exist. even if you are it is propbably with some gang of pals you like roleplaying with (like being geeks that spend all their times playing MMOs and D&D). the creature described is no more of legend and stop thinking you "are" one. there are medical terms that may be werewolf-like, but there is no literal "lycanthropy." same goes for vampires

[bb babii]

hi just so you now werewolves are real thankyou very much and to pruv it i'm going to tell you a little story so here it goes i am a werewolf i downloaded a spell of the internetc because i luv twilight and i luv jacob so i wanted to be just like him and the spell worked about a month after i did it.bye

[flamesami]

dude only seriously mutated werewolves look like that!
looks more like some short-lived experimental vampire-werewolf or zombie-werewolf mix. Some scientists are completely moraless aren't they?

[bloodsucker420]

[Sharkywerevampire]

that doesn't change you! you have to be born a werewolf!

[Sharkywerevampire]

but what if ya don't have a sword. and we're nice. don't kill us.

[Sharkywerevampire]

wtf are you talking about?

[Sharkywerevampire]

i have to tell you about werevampires. they are either vampires or werewolves that have been tainted by the other. for me, it was a vampire. they are most dangerous on blood moons. their eyes are normally orange, but can be violet or hazel. they hunt vampires down and are more like werewolves. no one knows why. they have fangs that are the total length of a vampire and a werewolf's combined. their transformation is instantanious and when angered, they are deadly. the first vampire they hunt down if they use to be a werewolf would be the one that changed them. they are ruthless vampire killing machines and are twice as impossible to kill as werewolves.

[kampy00]

Were creatures are not all bad. As with vampires some are my good friends. It is sad that a few rogue creatures can cause such problems. I hunt not only rogue vampires but I have been know to assist to bring down rogue lycans as well. Each is unique and I wish we could all just try to understand each other. But each has strong beliefs about themselves and strong thoughts about the other which are hard to overcome. Both can die, but why worry about killing either unless it is needed. Then just call on my kind to assist to restore balance. Until then let us try to get along.

[Sharkywerevampire]

what are you?

[Foaly7]

Werewolves DO NOT have a weakness to stakes to the heart. That is the stereotypical vampire.

[venomireland]

[Foaly7]

Okay, good point. But not exactly what I meant. I meant that the "immune" hide of werewolves would make it hard to kill them with a stake.

[Sharkywerevampire]

no you don't. it can kill you

[All4Shrimp]

How dare you tempt to kill anything of a wolf-ish nature! (especially a werewolf, like myself). We don't become the stereo-type untill we taste human blood, which we usually don't because we are part human (duh)...

[Sharkywerevampire]

please help me! i need advice!
