THE PACK Message Boards

They could have their own rural community where only werewolves live, they could then control all aspects of town life and keep non-were's from moving in. It might seem odd, but a lot of places like that exist, nudist colonys and amish communities are just two examples. Actually, that's a pretty de...

There's probably a ton of werewolves out there, though their numbers would be spread out across the world, so though they make up a noteworthy percentage of the population, there would still only be one or two packs within so many square miles. There would be lots of them, but the distance in betwee...

If one was say a funeral director he would also need others to assist him and would have to have a special freezer where he could store the bodies until a convient time whether it be for burial or cremation. That wouldn't necessarilly be a problem. He would need assistants, yes, but he could oppera...

This is a tough one because there's really no way to dispose of a body without drawing one form of attention or another. They couldn't just start a dumpster fire because the body would be smelled for miles. They couldn't just bury it in an isolated location because, regardless of how much care they ...

They would probably try to judge humans as individuals, and likewise every individual werewolf would have their own personal opinion of the human race. I chose Defacto/rulers, however, because I believe it's the closest possible description of how most would percieve the human race. The reality woul...

It could also depend on what form the werewolf spends most of her time in. One that only shifts once a month would follow a more human pattern, whereas a werewolf that mates in werewolf form and then remains in that form for the full duration of her pregnancy, the process might be more of a blend of...

I can't recall whether the director has decreed whether the moon actually can prompt a transformation. I do seem to recall he was trying to steer away from the magical aspect of lycanthropy. But if the moon CAN make someone transform, then simulated moonlight might also do so. Moonlight is just pol...

I dont know about the miscarriage thing. The anatamy of a werewolf and how it would effect the fetus is just to complicated a subject for me. :x The understanding I had of lycanthropic shifts, especially the first time (or at least in terms of this movie), was that they were painful and, if the reg...

The only way I could see a werewolf climbing a wall would be Jackie Chan style -- in a place like a narrow alleyway, they could leap against a wall and kick against it with their stronger legs to propel themselves up and against the opposite wall, repeating the process until they reached their inten...

Two pups tops. First of all, werewolves are still predominantly bipedal, so it would make more sense for the birthing process to more closely resemble that of a human than a werewolf (not to say that there couldn't be some canine elements; just that there would be more human than canine as far as bi...

The easiest way to define it would be if a shift is triggered by increased adrenaline, which the full moon can generate. To force the shift, a werewolf would only need to put himself in that mental state. As for the concept of the werewolf going into a frenzy, it seems like a logical assumption, esp...

Terastas, that might workfor the movie but realistically vaccine don't cure viral illnesses; they prevent them. There are very few viruses that can actually be killed in the body because they're made of DNA. If you kill them, you also kill off the body's DNA. *nods* "Vaccine" really wasn'...

There might have been a werewolf mating season at one point, but in modern America where the seasons can be counteracted with heating and air conditioning, they probably don't adhere to any such tradition any more.

I think some dogs do that naturally, and likely would just as likely with a human owner as a lycanthrope.

I don't think they should know what an experienced werewolf knows, but let's face it, some things are going to have to come naturally. Maybe werewolves don't revert to more feral mentalities, but instead, they flip out. Try to imagine what someone would think if he didn't even believe in werewolves...

One more thing... Please don't give in to this fad and portray the werewolves as being raging sexpots. I don't recall that occuring, outside of a few of the "Howling" sequels... (although, if a werewolf femme felt like hitting on me, I certainly wouldn't turn her down... :wink: lck hwlwnk...

It really depends. If there was a sort of vaccine for lycanthropy, someone could theoretically cure himself if recently infected. After a while, however, the person's body will adapt to the presence of lycanthropy, specifically the enhanced regeneration. It's possible that, at this point, any attemp...

I've never heard of wolfsbane curing werewolves, but I have heard it can be used to kill them. The only other plant I've heard used in such a way is Belladonna, AKA: Deadly Nightshade. If we're basing our ideas on the legends, however, I don't think Wolfsbane and Belladonna or special in any way. Th...

It sounds like werewolves are going to be reinvented again, so the story line, I'm guessing, will be somewhat of a run-through of the typical "initiation process." That said, I think Devoured will only seem like a typical werewolf movie in the first half-hour. Most movie-goers aren't used ...

It certainly seems like a possibility, though as most have already stated, it mostly depends on what version of lycanthropy we are dealing with. The main aspect I'd factor in is the idea that a lycanthropic shift is painful and is only unfatal due to the lycanthrope's enhanced healing. An older were...

One minor consiquence is that the werewolf might have a pretty good idea of what it actually is and how its strengths and weaknesses work. True there'd be a lot of lore and myth anyway, but they might be ableto sort the wheat from the chaff much more easily after a quick search of the local library...

"Magic" can really just be thought of as a term to describe that which cannot be explained. I forget what comic book this came from, but someone once said: "What is sorcery to you is science to me." Lycanthropy probably could be explained scientifically. We as a people have simpl...

I think if a werewolf were to stand straight up, they would indeed average somewhere around seven feet tall. However, I'm having a hard time picturing a werewolf with perfect posture. They'd be bigger, yes, but the way their legs bend and/or their shoulders align in a more canine manor would bring t...

It was a first for me as well. Somehow I doubt that the weredolphin's nose would stretch all the way to the back of their head to form a blowhole like that, but again, who knows? I guess my only real gripe would be that the woman's body parts shifted individually. We were treated to the full transfo...

I like the way ANTIcarrot thinks. All of these things (especially the whole "secret society" deal), have bothered me in the past. The, "if it were possible in that world, the laws of physics must be different", idea I have thought about before. However, trying to comprehend a wh...
