Werewolf:From Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia
A werewolf (also lycanthrope or wolfman) in folklore and mythology is a person who shapeshifts into a wolf, either purposely, by using
magic, or after being placed under a curse. The medieval chronicler Gervase of
Tilbury associated the transformation with the appearance of the full
moon, but this concept was rarely associated with
the werewolf until the idea was picked up by modern
fiction writers. Most modern fiction agrees that a werewolf can be killed if shot by a
silver bullet, although this was not a feature of folk
legends. Werewolves are sometimes held to become vampires after
death.
