i heard that werewolves do not actually take shape of a "wolf man" as the movies portray. and the reason i am posting this is because i have had animalistic behavior. and i was wondering if its true that they don't "shape-shift"? because i fear that i may be one....

Real lycans do actually have physical changes. They aren't as extravagant as Hollywood portrays however, they do appear more beast-like and could appear to grow more hair. Body temperature also increases quite a bit. If you were one, you would know it for a fact.

I'm one, but I don't physically shift. Alot of the werewolves on this site can't. Occasionally in my dreams, I phase into a wolf and run around sylvan areas. I also tend to howl at the moon on some nights. I'm usually slow to anger, except on days of the full moon, but when I do get angry I have a tendency to growl and I can get pretty vicious in a fight. But I've never bitten anyone, knock wood. Don't get me started on my eating habits. My dogs are also afraid of me, and one of them even marks her territory in front of my room. (Super annoying) Not to mention when I experience animalistic behavior I like it. (A bit emberassing for me to admit) Questions, concerns, issues, problems? Please reply or PM me.

Personally, I kinda (apparently) take on a blondish 'beast like' form during transformation,
although it differs with every wolf
Hope this helps
