What does my dog think?

I want to be a dog, you know?

Yeah.

Well, there's also the fact and we'll get into this task force because I can sense the bubbling in some of the like some of the ears are on fire going, well, you know, wolves are also apex predators themselves.

And you go far enough back, you have small enough towns and rural areas.

We'll talk about some of the fear that's also stoked by just wolves being wolves.

Oh, yeah.

And I'm sure that feeds into the whole werewolf thing, right?

Because if it was just talking about man's best friend, then wolves wouldn't be so violent.

Yeah.

Yep.

Like actual wild wolves, you know, being in packs.

And you see that too in like werewolves movies.

Sure, sometimes they're solo and whatnot.

But, you know, usually if there's multiple, they're in a pack, right?

Just like actual wolves in the wild.

So I'm sure a lot of it's pulled from wolves themselves.

Totally.

Alright, so let's stick with Greek stories for a second, then I'll pivot to Norse mythology, but there are also signs of werewolves in early Greek mythology with the tale of King Lycaon.

So very similar to Lycanthropy, we'll talk about that term here, but according to legend, Lycaon was the son of Pelascus and the king of Arcadia.
