Okay, I am not addressing the variations on a moon theme, but the reversion shift and its cause. I tend to think a theory based on agents acting in the werewolf's blood has at least one explanation: as I already mentioned somewhere, once the adrenaline is stopped the muscles would start to revert. S...

I think that the moon theory as one factor on the change is powerful. Not the only factor, but probably one that becomes more significant as the moon goes through its cycles, and for that matter, it would be stronger or weaker in different seasons at different times of the year as it is closer or fa...

I agree, no wall climbing. Jackie Chan and others can do that only because they practice, practice, practice, and if you watch the out-takes at the end of his movies even he doesn't always nail it. Even if a werewolf could do it in human form, I tend to think he couldn't replicate that in a transfor...

I think that there are probably other hormones and physiological processes at work than just the adrenaline surge; if this is the case (without considering the times when a werewolf may be able to self-induce a transformation based solely on psychological 'training') then it would make sense that a ...

Frankly, I think the adrenaline would be present in every change. Hard to imagine a human body contorting in seconds. Sounds more like the incredible Hulk. I think the adrenaline is part of what accounts for the sudden bulking up of the major muscle groups in most werewolves we see. Hey, here's a th...

Ummm, First, I understand the love of wolves that runs high on this list. I have also loved them for years and years. They are beautiful animals. But, I view werewolves as human first, with wolf traits grafted on to that. I try and view the beast from something of a rational approach (itself an oxym...

While some of the posts on this topic were humorous, I think I diverge in thought from some of the other members. I don't really think a were wolf is really "part wolf and part human." I think he is a human that is changed into something more. Part of this change involves wolf traits/abili...

I think a werewolf's reaction to dogs might depend on what form he is in, and how much presence of mind the film allows him to retain in "wolf" form. I can envision a scene where a dog (not his) comes up to sniff a werewolf while in human form, maybe he starts to act weird, and the human g...
