Technological werewolves

Post by Tock »

This is more of a passing curiosity than a serious question.
If you had, absolutely HAD to blend technology in with the werewolf condition, how would you do it?
Genetic engineering?
An already werewolf with cybernetic enhancements?
Etcetera.
You get the idea.
So my question is, how would you blend in technological adaptation into the mythical werewolf?

One might want simple vision upgrade, another might want a faux-centaur peripheral for their still-intact legs, another might want a set of ankle-wheels and a racer's secondary respitory system, and another might want a full-body conversion where one can disperse parts of oneself at will. It all comes down to what they want individually.

And money.

Fair enough, but to be more precise, what would you want yourself?

Hmm, I guess it depends on what type of werewolf. If it's the "Full moon=full wolf, not much else" type, just about anything would help. If you're the berserk out of control type, something like an implanted gps tracker, maybe some sort of control unit as well.

Otherwise, maybe something like replacement claws, subcutaneous armor plates, or implants to enhance natural healing and whatnot.

For the "Goes Berserk at the Full Moon" type, perhaps an auto-injector that would dump a load of calmative like Xanax or even THC (Tetra-Hydro-Cannabinol; the stuff that makes pot work). That would give you a stoned werewolf that wasn't a danger to anyone.

Woot. What a thought; a stoner werewolf... :lol:
