Werewolf-A person transformed into a wolf or capable of assuming the form of a wolf.
Many people don't belive in werewolves. Many say werewolves are simply myth; But you have to wonder, who are they to say something is not real? Do they know for sure that werewolves don't, or didn't exist? Lycanthropy is a medical condition, where the person who has it, belives he/she is a werewolf, and can take the form of one. They have wolf like behavior. I would say, in my opinion, most of these people need help. However, some of these people could be the real deal. Now, take in mind, a person can be a werewolf, without the shapeshifting ability. The person might have certain traits, traits that resemble the traits of a wolf. For example, protruding teeth, or long curved fingernails tinged with red. Another belief, is that the person might have been a wolf in a past life, and was reborn in a human body. Now these kind of werewolves, useualy aren't violent. The werewolves that have shapeshifting ability, can also be non-violent. It depends on the person who is the werewolf. If it's a violent human, then it's gonna be a violent wolf. The people who are true werewolves, have a connection with the wolf. A spiritual connection. Could be that the wolf is a spiritual guardian to the person. A stereotype of werewolves is that they shapshift on a full moon. True werewolves with the shapshifting ability, can shapshift at will. When they shapshift, they are in control of what they do. They take on the mind of a wolf, and the body, but they still control what they do. Another possible werewolf is if the person simply feels that they have a connection with wolves. Some say there are ways to turn yourself into a werewolf. Certain spells, and rituals. Some also say that if you are bitten by a werewolf, you turn into one. In conclusion, the people who say that werewolves aren't real, i think, they are just too scared to admit, that werewolves could exist.
