Legends of Half-Human Half Beast monsters have been around since the beging of time. In some lands shapechangers are reviled as foul witches and murderers while in others the gift of many shapes is a sign of great power and holiness. There have been many kinds of shapeshifters - from leopard people of africa to fox-fairies of asia to the berserkers (bare-skin men) of scandinavia - but is the werewolf that inspires the greatest dread and awe. |
