When I first heard about werewolfs, this is what I learned: It physically changes from man to wolf but can't grow a tail. Because of this it is said that a werewolf runs on three legs and uses his forth leg as tail. When it has changed it can only enter or leave a house if it crawls under the threshold or through the sink drain. Whatever befalls the werewolf will show on the person when it has changed back. The changing seems to be connected with some kind of spell and has in no tale I've ever heard any connection to the moon. The favourite food for a werewolf is said to be unborn children ripped from the mother's womb.
This is how werewolfs are described in the folklore of my native region. Guess if I felt confused when I saw my first werewolf movie?!
Since I'm not a werewolf myself I have Feel free to ask if you need more details - I will provide what I know. It's just that my memory needs to be nudged sometimes.

Finally, lyric beauty has returned to Monstrous, replete with babies ripped from their crimson cribs.

Please tell us more.

Lady Griffin, your confusion upon seeing your first werewolf movie is understandable since the werewolf of film bears little resemblance to the werewolf of legend or reality. I myself am not a were so I cannot commnt on what they look like but there are plenty of knowledgable weres on this site who can help you with your query. I hope you find the answer you seek. Welcome to the boards!

We honestly just transform to Wolf and hunt.
We aren't that different, besides our shortened noses, and eyes closer to the front. We don't eat dead babies or anything human life, unless forced to out of self defense. It is just like a wolf besides us being ourselves.

Welcome idontknowwhoiam  to monstrous

  Much too tame to be considered Monstrous.

How'bout this?http://goldenwolfen.com/artwork/werewolves/interrupted.htm

Griffin I would have to say that a wolf looks no different in a mirror than yourself. I think its unfair to say that we fit a certain description. It would be like saying that for a "human" to look decent you have to be a certain weight, eye color, height, etc.

I am so flippin' tired right now.    Does any of this make sense to anyone else?

[Erin_wolf]

You're right there, Wolfsong; it does make sense that we shouldn't be fit into a certain description. We're all unique, aren't we.

Indeed we are. Its not like every vamp on the street looks like dracula or.. well, do i dare to say, Edward... x.x

[Erin_wolf]

LOL, so I guess there really isn't ONE answer to this question. We could look like anything.

  I am sorry Erin and Berlin (no Blacksite, just because Moloch is no longer with us does not mean you will no longer be labled as such) but no, neither of those puppies would I consider Monstrous.  I would be tempted to give them a boot to the ass instead of tremble with fear.  Now my puppy here would cause all of those on this thread so far to seem tame by comparison.

Ok then, I'll go look for some werewolves that will really scare the pants off you.
