Which kind of werewolf is most likely?
All kinds of werewolf are pretty low in probabilty, but some kinds ought to be a bit more likely than others. If you knew for a fact that werewolves existed, what kind of werewolf would you most expect them to turn out to be?
I've tried to make the categories as broad as possible, covering every general type of werewolf I've heard described. I've also put an "other" category for any ideas that fall entirely outside the general categories I've outlined.

Inexplicability(sp?) for the win. WW's are mysterious things. And I want them to stay that way.
Though I agree to what Rhuen said, too

Btw, If you're wondering about FoxOfWar, think about Real-Time Strategy Games and certain aspect profilic in all of them... lurking about in the shadows, kind of like me...
I'd like to hear those ten other ways.Rhuen wrote:Other...
All the above and ten more things at least you didn't think of.

The werewolf would come into existance through the advances of bio-technology. After becoming a werewolf through surgery, the werewolf in question shall remain in that form unless altered by surgerey. Again, this is all cosmetic and would be most likely in the future as we know more of how the body works and a good part of the population would consider getting those kind of operations.

Werewolves resulting from medical proceedures, most importantly nanotechnology or something we haven't even imagined yet. Say, "juicer" nanites to rapidly break down the body's structure, in conjunction with repair nanites which rebuild with the disassembled material into the new form. (I obviously play waaaaay too much Shadowrun).

If werewolves existed today, I'd have to go with alien engineering experiments. It's a long shot, but hey, I can daydream. Maybe I can even get it published.
I voted human engineering, however, because I think that's the one way that werewolves can actually be more than 0.00001% likely to happen within a 15 billion light year radius of Earth between the beginning of time and the time when the sun expands into Earth's orbit five billion years from now. All the others are long shots. But, human engineering and nanotechnology I feel could easily do it in less than a thousand years. It won't be the first thing on the list of things for us to invent with it, but curing cancer, immortality, and other body modification technologies will lay the groundwork, and future social trends (that will make immortality and adanced body modifications more palatable than it is to our current transhumanist-luddite peers) might make therianthropy something other than those guys on the Internet that insist they're not furries.

Taking a Gestalt approach, since it's the "in" thing...

Well I said ten as an off hand number as reality has a way of makeing more things than we expect. But I'll try
1: Werewolves are supernatural and shapeshifting is instinctivly knwon.
2: Dog-men type creatures that don't shape shift at all.
3: the descendents of ancient canine like gods.
4: Half breeds made by combining human blood with god blood.
5: The ancient god like creature Gren made three types by combining various ape species together which resulted in a wolf like biped but isn't wolf at all.
6: The Descendents of King Lycias who was turned into a wolf.
7: some descendents of King Lycias lost the power to shift naturally so used magic to unlock this hidden power.
8: Some shamans used to be able to transform into various animals but thanks to an abomination magical skin turned themselves into horrible monsters that were sterile and could only make more like themselves through ritualized cannibalism.
9: A canine like god had sex with a wolf and out popped werewolves as pups.
10: Werewolves were originally mammal like reptiles that evolved into bipeds and over the millions of years evolved fur and it was sheer coincidence they resembled wolves at all "okay simular to evolved naturally but lack transformation ability"
This is kind of fun I wander how many I could make up and how weird they would get.
