THE PACK Message Boards

Hmm. It might help to know where the idea first came from. I can’t remember if the whole “kill the werewolf that bit you to end the curse” thing showed up first in mythology or movies. My best guess would be that it comes from the idea of the werewolf being the result of an evil curse. Getting to th...

However their are some movies and myths that depict the same thing happening from any wound delevered by a werewolf. A very good example of this is the person who incounters a werewolf, and is scratched by that werewolves claws, on say an arm, yet somehow does not end up loosing his or her life. Th...

My werewolves aren't violent in nature. ;) But that's just me. But, if they did have to defend themselves, it would be their claws for fear of biting someone and turning them. I hadn’t thought of that, but it would be a great way to explain why a werewolf might prefer to fight with claws over teeth...

I’ll agree that the whole therian things has gotten me confused as well. I mean, look at cultures that have a tradition of spiritually associating themselves with animals (Native American, etc). While predatory animals like wolves are common for an individual or a section within a tribe to associate...

I’m guessing the real names were withheld for privacy or something? Can’t remember if she ever revealed her real name. If I believed something like that there is no way I would go on TV and say it, let alone on a melodramatic looking show like that.

I think that is where trying for realism in a wolf/human hybrid can get a bit messy. If you think about the bone, muscle, and other anatomical structures of both species they don’t really match up that well. I tried this with a horse a while ago- drew something that was halfway between both species ...

I think the whole “werewolves using claws as weapons” can make sense depending on what kind of design you are using. Many werewolf designs seem to be pretty similar to bears in appearance (bipedal abilities, hairy, extremely muscular, etc.). Bears use their claws quite efficiently to rip and tear, s...

As for chimps and apes, this is the teachings of evolution, isn't chimps and apes, herbivores. meaning they eat plants, yes sometimes they also eat bugs, however I have yet to find the human who eats bugs? and not cows and chickens etc. if we came from them then why do we eat the things we do? Besi...

It’s been a while since I’ve read Congo. It will be interesting to see if I can catch that next time I re-read it. :) Watching predators such as wolves (or lions if you want to go all the way back to Africa) might have been helpful with learning techniques, but it would not have been necessary to tu...

Wow, this discussion has sure gone in some interesting directions. :) I think there may be a problem with comparing human society too closely with wolf packs and saying that we used to be like that and should go back to it. For starters- a wolf pack is no utopian society. Life for wild wolves is bru...

I had one kind of like that a few years ago. The church in some future reality wanted me to burn all of my art because apparently they thought werewolves were a sign of evil or something, so I took all of my drawings of them and flew up into the air to escape with them. It was fun.

Interesting interpretation. :) The character doesn’t have much of a connection with nature though (he’s a “city wolf” or someone who doesn’t really like being out in the wild much), so I don’t know how well it fits. I think it might mean that I miss using him in the story as much because his crazy a...

What was up with those flash mobs attacking people? That would scare the out of me. I’d probably flip out and attack people if they tried something like that on me.

Dancing werewolves?! Looks like a fun game. Too bad I can't read Korean.

I think the main factor for deciding what would happen would be the nature of the transformation. If it is biologically based there is the chance that shifting would cause the baby to be attacked by the mother’s immune system. I know I’ve read at least one book where female werewolves (infected by v...

No shapeshifting in this one, but it did involve a werewolf character of mine (I think that makes this the third dream I have had where I could see my own characters. I just don’t have that many). The first part of the dream was vague and I don’t remember it very well. I was on a big boat, and all o...

I’m sure they would, especially if they were once human and wish they could go back to that again.
For the ones that never were human I can only imagine how weird those dreams would be.

Gross !!! :roll: You have been watching to many Zombie movies it would seem :lol: I’ve been thinking about it, and I wonder if it might have come from remembering a short story I read ages ago. The main character was given the ability to transform into a wolf by symbolically (through a vision) watc...

I have wondered why there are so few fat werewolves. Maybe they only exist in dreams. :lol: My dreams created a very strange and disturbing kind of werewolf last night. The dream was about a group of young men and women who were werewolves. They were very worried about something, but I couldn’t tell...
