Should a werewolf be hunched over or stand upright?

I think it should be hunched over to make it seem inhuman, and mostly because it looks awesome.
What do you guys think?

(Wasn't there a thread about this already?)

Look at the top of the page.
Under the banner.
There are the buttons for "Logout", "Profile", a few others and one with the label "Search" ;)
EDIT:
The hunched version makes only sense, when the body is not just a furry, muscular human type. But since it is most times, it doesn't make any sense at all.

I prefer upright.
Hunched Over reduces your overall height and thus makes you less looming.

Hunched over is so 1981.

Being hunched over can make a werewolf look awesome, but it tends to look far better in artwork than in movies/costumes. I've seen a lot of fake, crappy-looking werewolves with the hunched-over look.
So I guess this is my usual answer: anything that's worth doing is worth doing right.

Umm.... hard to say cause there is alot of WW movies with WW's Hunched Over or on all fours and shtuff like that. But I would like to see one WW stand upright in a movie where it would look more cooler or scary or just plain cheap well however you want to put it.

Both works for me.
Hunched over when walking around or quikly given its shape, but able to stand up right to give a threating pose like a bear. Maybe somewhere between the two when walking slowly.
But I like for the quadraped stance to be primary. Makes it more aww inspiring when they stand straight up from that stance than to just straighten up from a hunched over position when they strike with their claws.

I like either one, for scary I prefer hunched. For anything else, standing up right.

I have a hunch on this...(Ba da ba dum, pish)
I look at it from a walking point of view. Usually, the reason why a WW is hunched over is because of the fact that it would be walking on all fours normally. If it is supposed to walk on two, there wouldn't be a hunch.

I like the werewolves to walk on all fours, actually, so neither
But if I have to have biped werewolves, I would like them to be 'hunched'.

A lot of humans I know don't even stand up straight. I think a werewolf could if they wanted to, but the more likely case is that doing so would be uncomfortable so they would hunch over habitually.

I like hunched over. Wolves dont stanf upright but humans do...so its halfway in between. But dont get me wrong, not extremly hunched over...just a little. Werewolves that stand straight up arent as intimidating to me.

Its not a important detail, so I don't really care.

I vote for hunched!!!!!!!
It looks better and it's capible of going down to all fours if it wanted, like if running or somethin.
