Actually, King Lycan or in some cases Lycaon, upset the gods, by serving human flesh to one of them in a sacrifice.. I cant remember which god it was. As punishment he was turned into a wolf. Now I've also heard that it was supposedly just for 'eating' human flesh. But It's not what I remember. You...

And now for something completely different...............eggs (bad monty python impression).

Mine, from the film "Hunter/Slayer". a movie i wrote and was the F/X guy for. a buddy of mine was director.

something that makes me go Hmmm.

why do asteroids go through the hemisphere and hemaroids(if thats how you spell it) are in Uranus (sorry couldn't resist)

Methodist

inexpensive idea (from the low budget f/x guy) i resently made a pretty realistic werewolf costume (head) paintball mask with wire frame covered in....wait for it ......the best substance in the world......... model magic. then cover that in a sheet of Faux fur (feet) make stilts out of wooden block...

werwolf mentioned in the bible (book of danial)

Brad Stieger(think i spelled it right), writer of the werewolf book, and rick baker (special effects artist) the guy who did the makeup for the thriller video both state (even tho brad is quoting baker) that Jackson got his inspiration from An American Werewolf In London, and that Jackson specifical...

Well I have seen several different versions of a wendigo, I had made up my own version of one, but here's some pics I found of peoples depiction of them: http://www.diamondcomics.com/update/500-599/512/wendigo_1.jpg http://www.dailywriting.net/choc%20box/wendigo_phoenix.htm http://www.marvelmagic.c...

I'm an effects (thats special effects to you) guy, so i could (and i do) have a pare of home made custom "fangs", or enlarged canine teeth that i can remove at will.

i am (not professionally but hopefully will be at some point) a special effects makeup artist specializing in prosthetics and creature design

it is an ancient woodcut (which i happen to know a little about, also maybe ancient isnt the right word) looks to me like it was made in the 17th century. i will try to find the author.

(Note: I sleep in a basement) i have a fear of whatever is above me falling on me as i sleep

A common hazard among werewolf hunters, of course, is getting bitten and becoming the very thing they hate. I'm sure there would be more than one in which this was a problem. And, werewolves hunting other werewolves could get messy. Especially if their primary source of information on the legend is...

celtwolf wrote:right, which is why if a werewolf wears silver, they can control their change.

this idea is stated in the origional "Wolf Man" and in the Jack Nickolson movie "Wolf" though in the wolf man it was in the shape of a pentagram

for a more mythical reason i wrote a story about a werewolf that got the extra mass from an "Infinity Void" that he created which in the story was something that demons used to transform into things and it was filled with an infinite amount of matter

according to the law of conversion of mass no extra matter an be present after a chemical change. the change that a werewolf goes through would be Physical ,correct?

canines (including wolves)do have an increased healing rate. its not outlandishly fast but it is still faster than a humans. case in point 1:one of my aunts dogs got nutered(if thats how you spell it) he lost alot of blood and almost died, 2 days later he's fine 2:my cousin's dog was bitten by a cop...

there is an alternate version that envolves zeus after the wolf transformation."Lycaon had many sons and daughters. all of his daughters died during a harsh winther so he renounced zeus. he took up animals as his gods and was given the ability to become a wolf. to become human again while in t...

silver is also a scottish method of killing a witch who is in animal form. it is also recorded that the beast of le gavaudin(i think that'show you spell it) was killed by aa silver bullet made from the community church's communion goblet.

Oh, wow. I just now realized why I was getting confused! greniar, did you realize that you chose the same avatar as vrikasatma ? Heh. :lol: EDIT: Welcome to the Pack, by the way! :howl: :oo -- Vilkacis :o Heh...I was going to say the same thing about the avatar greniar is using. i realized it waaaa...

For anyone who has studied Greek Mythology, this should be an easy one to answer. Zeus cursed the king Lycaon so that he would turn into a wolf every full moon, that is where the full moon thing comes from as well. I can't seem to find any sources to link King Lycaon and the full moon... Could you ...

its simple, things evolve to fit into their enviroment, well maybe a tribe of people(there could be many other tribes like this ) that lived in the woods. to survive(lets say that they are in a really cold place) they evolved into wolf-men/wolf-women so that they would gain the wolf's hunting and su...

werewolf hunters would be people that know enough that the understand werewolves exist but is kind of racist towards them and dont believe that any werewolf could be good, or maybe they have a chip on their shoulder because an evil werewolf killed their family,and they hunt biasedly.

:? did anyone bother to think up a different origin for other therianthropes(thats animal people in greek for those who dont know). i was writing a story a while back that featured a werebear. he was created when Jinrou(the 1st werewolf in my story) attacks a person who is immune to theris fever(the...
