Werewolf + cat girl would likely result in cat-children with a tendency to turn into werewolves from time to time. Being a cat-girl is more akin to being of a dark skinned people, though obviously a bit more extreme, while lycanthropy is more akin to infectious disease, though unlike a disease it's...

The real question on preference is, do they stay that way or go back and forth.

Is a shapeshifter, or a one time transformation.

However, the posit of a Cat-Were crossed with a Werewolf mixes two already mutated species. Either they would be infertile with each other, or the kids would chase themselves a lot...(Cats and Dogs?) Seriously, there is a limit as to how far the altered Genome could be changed to accomodate the new...

How I classify between the two groups. with in the werewolf group Lycian: assumes full wolf shape for either a set period of time or at certain times. Like king Lycias and his descendents which had to remain wolves for nine years (unless they are someone in which case it was permanent) a variant is ...

Its a weird thought, Now we have guys like Blade and Donovan half human half vampire who become Dhampirs, vampires with zero special weaknesses basically but tend to side with humanity. A werewolf with a human always seems to result in a werewolf for some reason. a werewolf with a vampire seems to g...

(this post appears in two different threads because it fits in both) here is a thought what is the difference between a Werewolf & a Wolf-Shifter the answer to me is control over the animal side. a werewolf becomes like a wolfdog, a mix of instincts, this time between such radically different sp...

here is a thought what is the difference between a Werewolf & a Wolf-Shifter the answer to me is control over the animal side. a werewolf becomes like a wolfdog, a mix of instincts, this time between such radically different species as a human and a wolf so we get something that is basically suf...

The therionthrope thing means animal shapeshifters. Its used originally by Dungeons and Dragons as Lycanthropy means wolf man basically. Its to include ALL animals. However the way its used here seems to be the whole inhuman angle. For example a person who must become a wolf, and looses some control...

Zoanthropes: humans who assume a beastperson form by sheer will. Exist naturally and can only assume one best form, although each individual is different and even those related to each other may become different animal species. (Bloody Roar versions) this is an example to show that we can use just a...

The whole inner beast letting loose and out of control was the original appeal of the werewolf, that we all have the capacity to do harm and go on rampages and have no control of ourselves but our humanity locks that away. However recognizing human evil, not becuase of loss of control but because th...

so you don't want werewolves to go down the same road as vampires about sums all that up right?

vampire=goth

werewolf=furre

Its all in the name. Do we call them werewolves. Lupine Changlings. I feel even in a more serious situation that variants on the theme are possible but we have to understand the psychological attachment to the name. and expectations of the general populace. like a scene where someone calles them a w...

I guess the overall point All of Us are trying to make is...when deciding on the range of ability and strengths that the werewolves poses in whatever story you are creating...make sure you are clear on what genre and setting you are creating it for. Know what works for the kind of story you are tel...

Anime/Manga is Anime/Manga, and ComicBooks/Action-Movies are ComicBooks/Action-Movies...

I draw the line as far as i please, just as i like to dream as i please. Some scientists do it, so why can't i?

Please, don't collide your line with mine.

I think he means where do you draw the line in a live action movie setting.

The medium is the key to our expectations of a "werewolf" In anime: it can simular to a cat-girl. Although what we would call a werewolf is rare in this medium as wolf-demons and dog-boys are more prefered along side the simular cat-girls. In fact aside from Vampire Hunter D, Nightwarriors...

Werewolves as monsters... Medically and Biologically a "Monster" is an "Extremely Malformed example of a specific species" such a an Anencephalic baby, where development of the brain and skull stop above the eyes and you get something that looks like a human "frog" mut...

This is very simular to the other topic about shapeshifitng and not shapeshifting. When it comes to these oddly enought those with just the tail, ears, and maybe some claws and eyes tend to be more animal like than the fully Furre which is used mostly as an animal person with all the same limitation...

The real problem NOW with regeneration is everyone does it. Wolverine Sabretooth were two early ones but now in movies and Tv... they have given this ability to Godzilla Hulk Jason Vorhease (Friday the 13th #10 made him a regenerater rather than a zombie) Pain Killer Jane Naruto and the list goes on.

As a side note I included the "anime" part there simply because "were" just means man so Man-wolves, Wolfmen, Dog-boys, and what not might by some out there be grouped together. To be honest though I am on the side that a beastperson wether it be a dog-boy, cat-girl, or just a Fu...

Not so much a poll (which is why I left that out) but a place to discuss the pros and cons of each type. The cursed person who is forced to become a wolf. The person who shape shifts at will (to full form or inbetween). and those who are stuck in beast mind and body (think Ginger Snaps) or stuck as ...

It all depends to me. If the werewolf is more akin to a wolf than no more than what a wolf could. which is impressive but nothing wolverine or Pain Killer Jane level. Super regeneration should probably be reserved for more supernatural type werewolves or immortal ones. while in most cases an invinci...

I hate fancy names like Lycans and Theironthropes.

and I really hate saying "those things" and such like zombie movies do.

Ordinary people should call them what they would recognize them as "werewolves" they can call themselves what ever (preferably something unique to them)

I would say the ears should be normal wolf ears and the muzzle a normal wolf muzzle for the size. the forhead should be a little larger (although this gives it a coyote effect) but is reasonable given the higher intellegence of either creature over a normal wolf. things I have hated in werewolf movi...
