I agree with Vuldari, If you have to expend energy in order just to keep in Gestalt form, then you wont last very long in the form cause you will soon been too tired and wont have much energy give off. Not to mention you'll likely go on a feeding spree just to restore all the energy your constantly loosing. On top of that when you revert back you'll be so tired you would hardly be able to stand up. So yeah sense its in a solid form thier is no need to keep expending energy.

Well, Vuldari, if you put that way, I have to agree with you...

Any toughts on the transformation/regeneration point?

You know, it would be pretty neat if, say the person has bad eyesite and has to wear glasses, when they turn their eyesite gets better, huh, imagine a werewolf with glasses *Super Nerd*

"Just catching up on my laser therapy" Or injuries heal slightly faster. Just a thought.

I was thinking of the hulk sort of when I thought of regeneration, if you've seen the new one.After a big fight and he turns back, he's really weak. I agree that werewolves should have more strength when they're changed because they are, after all, suppose to be a sort of super-human beast.

...well, actually...

I meant to just explain the factors of the discussion, but I ended up writing a long description of what I interpreted as the most popular opinion instead.

Allthough I still support the basic idea behind the theory in my post, I would also like to state now that MLhowlers suggestion is not completely unmerrited.

After all...it is commonly associated with werewolves that they will change back to human form if killed or knocked out, and that idea conflicts with the one I shared.
(How would a Dead, or unconcious body be able to reverse-shift if all the energy has been drained away?)

I think this is another issue of logic and science vs. the appeal of mysticism. Having the strength, shape and power of the werewolves transformed state be a dirrect outward reflection of the unbound ferral energy pouring out from inside is a very poetic, and attractive interpretation from an emotional and artistic perspective.

That is one of the things I allways liked about the "DragonBall" series. The angrier and more determined the characters were...the bigger and more POWERFUL they became. It was very satisfying in a primal sort of way. ...Emotional energy being dirrectly represented on the physical plane...

So...in counter-point...though it may break a few logic barriers...the concept still has Merit.

(EDIT: 01/24/06) In retropect, I realise now that the "physical manifestation of emotional energy" was probobly Not what MLhowler was talking about. ...but it just sounds really cool anyway...)

I would think they could run at least 10 mph faster then the regular wolf. At least 30 mph. If not 5 mph slower. Waaay stronger and able to travel 2x the normal rate of a wolf.
