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.

[juicymoose]

I agree I think bein born on the 24th or 25 th of december has somewhat to do with it

[GreyWolfGirl]

I am one as well and i can tell you a ton of stuff but I am use to mercury and don't even get me started on sliver. Most people want to be like us and then once they get bit they want to be human but they change so much that it is not funny. Hehehe I am being nice about it as well, I bit 5 so far and they are part of my pack things happen to the good people most of the time.

[werewolfking]

actually, I'm a werewolf, I'm invulnerable to mercury AND silver. Some guy wanted to hunt meh down. Guess wut. Now he's a werewolf too! Oh, and some guy wanted me to bite him so yeah.....he turned into one too.

[DarkAngel1907]

Kool!!!

[lasr1]

Ohhh... Okay. mercury, is very toxic. If it just touched you, then I guess you'd be fine. Why would you want to turn the hunter into one. You just made his life better.

[Sharkywerevampire]

i know. he should have just killed him.

[Blazemann]

No, no mortal nor immortal is immune to the effects of mercury. Anyone denying this is merely a liar. Even just a touch can kill a werewolf.

[daninja]

I agree with lasr1. My dad said that when he was in school, they would pour a little beakerful of mercury into the students hands for them to play with. And they were NOT wearing gloves!

[lasr1]

yep. I posted a picture. Go down a few comments.

[Blazemann]

Yes, they did. Ever wonder why we didn't get to play with it in school? In humans, the Mercury is absorbed into the skin almost instantly.(Small amounts of course a glob would appear to stay whole) And in humans brain damage sets in within minutes of holding it.

[lasr1]

What! I have touched some. I didn't die.

[Blazemann]

No, you have not. No being, even immortal, are immune to Mercury.

[lasr1]

I have a picture of me holding it! Wanna see it? I mean really, there are videos of it on youtube. Look it up.

[Blazemann]

Yes, I would. Videos on Youtube show those with gloves.

[lasr1]

Where shall I send my proof?

[Blazemann]

Post it here, for all to see.

[lasr1]

Is this good enough for you? You didn't respond, so I assume you gave up the argument.

[Blazemann]

No isn't any good because you got the picture on google. see:
http://www.learnnc.org/lp/media/uploads/2009/05/mercury.jpg

Now stop trying to act like you're all special and give it the hell up!

[lasr1]

Here.

[Blazemann]

No isn't any good because you got the picture on google. see:
http://www.learnnc.org/lp/media/uploads/2009/05/mercury.jpg

Now stop trying to act like you're all special and give it the hell up!

[lasr1]

Yes, but it is a picture of a person holding mercury isn't it? I have mercury, I held it, then I put it in an ampule so that the vapors don't give me mercury poisoning while I sleep. If this REALLY isn't good enough, I can get mine and post a freaking video if I have to. Oh wait... you'll probably tell me that it isn't mercury. I proved that anybody can hold mercury without a problem, so why are you telling ME to give up? YOU gave no evidence that it isn't possible. It makes me really angry that you are so much of a poor sport about being wrong. YOU ARE WRONG, YOU ASKED FOR EVIDENCE, I GAVE YOU EVIDENCE, HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU NEED???!!?!?!?!!?

[Blazemann]

No you lied, you didn't give me evidence. here is mine. We don't hold in school anymore. Why? Within seconds it can cause mild brain damage, within one minute of constant exposure, it is already reaching the brain through your bloodstream. Withing three minutes, moderate brain damage can begin occuring. Shut up and go suck your thumb elsewhere. I know what mecury is and nothing you post on youtube could be called fake unless it was.

[lasr1]

Mercury is also very very useful.

[lasr1]

Okay. Now I agree with that. You said that a werewolf will be killed by it ^{"Even just a touch can kill a werewolf" Well that is just a load of crap. I just barely took a picture of me holding some just because of this. I have got to say, nothing happened. I have held a lot of silver. Nothing. I am a werewolf. Call me a liar if you like, I don't give a crap. Just because someone doesn't believe me, doesn't make me wrong. I have experience with chemicals. I like to get my own elements from minerals. I get mercury a lot by burning cinnabar and venting the gasses through a graham condenser. I also have extracted lots of silver by melting acanthite rich galena. That yields about 20% silver (which is floated) and 79% Lead. The other 1% is other stuff. Anyway, I have handled a TON of these metals, and no burning, and no death.}

[pyromaniac21]

im a fuzzy puppy werewolf like you exept i dont bite people without reason unless i get bored but thats a reason.AOL

[venomireland]

*sigh* No-one cares to help me...

[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?
