So... petting a werewolf's tail, is the same as touching someone's butt?

the tails are necessary because are helpful in ways of silent communication towards other wolves

And let us not forget, tails just generally kick serious a$$

Dog + Farts = DARTS.

I don't know. Maybe tails will help prevent farts from slipping.

dogs and wolves roll in poop every now and again anyway i dont think they would really care about a fart smell. do they even think a certain smell is bad or just new, differant or interesting? a werewolves fart maybe would just be a more extreme of its own natural scent. it could maybe be, say, ode-de-lycan?

New and interesting probably. Wolves also try to scent roll in scented shampoo and perfume.

general wolfs roll around in sh*t just so they can cover there scent track, dogs are proable just weird

Haha my dog farts so badly. I think a tail would work the same way as your pants...might trap it haha!

Fart is a funny word, I broke wind several times, I still haven't fixed it

Well, getting back on topic...

I designed my werewolf characters with tails because it makes for a great animation device. I use them to convey attitude, to accentuate a pose, and even to ACT in some cases.

A tail can also provide really cool overlapping action when the character moves, or fights, or whatever. Even if the character stops moving, the tail can follow the arc of the body movements.

Without a tail...you might as well just have a plain old person. You have a wolf head, a wolf body, wolf legs, but no tail? That doesn't make any sense to me. From a design standpoint, it's an INCOMPLETE character, in my humble opinion.

Fang · Post by **Fang** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 2:33 pm

I totally agree with you Matt

White Paw · Post by **White Paw** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 2:37 pm

yes......a very good point.....

You know...I always see a lack of the tail in hollywood werewolf movies. But I always see a tail in animated wolf/werewolf characters. Why is that?

FangFace had a tail. The werewolf in Drac Pack had a tail. I could list more. Is Hollywood avoiding the tail for some reason? To difficult to animate? To expensive? Not life like? I'd like to know.

Maybe it has something to do with the clothing issue...if it had a tail then they would have to accomodate the clothing to allow for the tail or they would have na unsightly bulge in the rear ........

So wear pants backwards. Anyway...
Realistically, I'd imagine that the reason they usually don't post it is because they have their own preconceptions about what it should be, and they don't want to irritate anyone. Despite the fact that it's loss is also irritating.
Basically, a cop-out.
