How tall should they be?

[Black Shuck]

I voted for 7, but I think there should be 1-2 feet height difference after transformation. If a guy was 6'4, he'd be 7'4 in gestalt form. If a girl was 5'5, she'd be 5'6. On the gestalt scale, tiny people=tiny gestalts. You'd be taller than 5'3 and really tall compared to "regular" people, but you'd still be little compared to other gestalts.

I don't want the werewolf to be 100 feet tall. If the werewolf is 10 feet tall, then thats ok. 13 feet is also fine. 20 feet is going to far.

Now do you understand?

13 FEET?! ...do you realize that would be as high as a Basketball player standing on the head of another basketball player?! (Double Shaq's height!!)

Average human height/weight:

Male - 5'9" = 121-163
Female - 5'4" = 108-144

Where the hell did you get those numbers from?

Indeed...those Height/weight numbers are truely absurd.

I am a 5'7" Male and weigh 124 lbs. I am almost dangerously underweight. (My rib cage is clearly visable through my white t-shirts.) Supposedly, my ideal body weight for a small-frame male of my height is about 135-140 lbs.

I found it where I found it. Can;t help it if its 'wrong'.

Oh good grief...you know we'll never see a 13 foot werewolf in a hollywood film. Maybe in anime, but not in hollywood.

I hope not...

There are a lot of charts out there that have horribly innaccurate numbers for what a persons "ideal" wieght is.

Sad thing is, the government uses these charts all the time.

13 feet tall

To tall that would just be very strange that like as tall as an elaphant so if they're meant for forests why would they be thirteen feet tall

[Morkulv]

what game is that

I dunno, but it sucks. At least the werewolves do, IMO.

I'd rather see something like this:

Ok ok, the design isnt that great, but you can see that the werewolf is somewhat bigger, and taller (you can see that he's looking down on the player). I think thats the perfect height.

Yeah, thanks! I get kinda dyslexic when I type and proof read

^.^ and even then I screwed it up myself haha. Stupid keyboard.

sorry for bringing so old topic back too life but i had to coment.

i voted for 7 but i think werewolf should be 2 feet taller than in his human form but there is also this lets take 5'5 tall human when he transform he stand around 6'9(digigrade stance, bended kness and hunched forward) but he can be 7'5 if he stand straight up for short period of time

Interesting question this, and a bit of a difficult one, it's easy to pick arbitrary numbers to compare against a human, because human beings have very little variation (Edit: clarification...between a casual/slouching/relaxed stance or standing up straight like a board) when you measure the standing height. Werewolves on the other hand are fraught with anatomical weirdness. My vote would be "depends on the human" who turns into the wolf, short people become short werewolves, tall people become tall werewolves, and as a general rule of thumb I'd measure a werewolf not by height, but by length, how long the werewolf is when it is stretched out from toe claws to nose tip, I'd have this be approximately the same as a human who is standing up on the ball of their feet, so a 6' tall human, who is 6'4 on the ball of their feet, would become a werewolf that is 6'4 from toe claw to nose tip, and fit in all the proportional changes inside that.

As a side note, the digitigrade posture most people think of actually cuts a fair amount of height from a human frame, I'm 6' tall standing normally, but drop to about 5'6" or so when I lean foreward, bend at the knees and let my heels come off the floor, I've little reason to think a gestalt werewolf body type based on my proportions would be any taller, but I don't think it has to be, any werewolf is going to be an imposing presence whether it's 5'6" or 9' tall in my humble opinion.

Not that I don't think towering werewolves shouldn't happen .

i agree that bending knees decreases height but not much because you lift heels witch lessen the decrease of height

it also depends what kind of WW we are talking about magical ones could be 2 feet taller, but i think if we go by realism it would depend on WW design, but i think height will not increase for more than 1 feet.
