Werewolves | The History and Origins Behind These Legendary Folklore Creatures

I don't like that.

I don't like it.

All of Task Force just collectively went, oh, I have a bad mouth feel now.

Werewolves | The History and Origins Behind These Legendary Folklore Creatures

I don't like it.

Red Web
Werewolves | The History and Origins Behind These Legendary Folklore Creatures

Yeah, just don't.

Yeah, just don't.

In animal form, what's interesting is the further back you look, the more they just look like a wolf when they become the wolf version of a werewolf.

Werewolves | The History and Origins Behind These Legendary Folklore Creatures

Most commonly, yeah, they are indistinguishable, except they have no tail.

Werewolves | The History and Origins Behind These Legendary Folklore Creatures

They're often larger than a wolf would be, and they retain, interestingly, human eyes.

So if you see a wolf with no tail and human eyes, maybe it speaks to you because it would still maintain a human voice.

Werewolves | The History and Origins Behind These Legendary Folklore Creatures

That would be deeply unnerving.

Now, after returning to their human form, werewolves are said to become weak, debilitated, because their body is literally...

Werewolves | The History and Origins Behind These Legendary Folklore Creatures

compressing and decompressing their nerves are literally crunching and moving with their bones and so they were left when they came back to human form in this weakened state almost like the worst hangover of your life but kind of i think the most iconic trait is the ability to shapeshift during the full moon that is one of the if you ask anybody i mean you mentioned it at the top straight to silver

and straight to the full moon.

Now, interestingly, a study was conducted at Australia's Cavalry Mater Newcastle Hospital, and I believe others have done this as well, but they determined that a full moon coincides with beast-like tendencies in humans.

They showed that of 91 violent acute behavior incidents in the 11 months between August 2008 and July 2009, 23%, which would be a disproportionate amount,

happened during a full moon.

Werewolves | The History and Origins Behind These Legendary Folklore Creatures

Staff noted that patients showed wolf-like behavior such as biting, spitting, clawing, scratching, and while many were under the influence of substances, it's unclear why they became violent specifically when the moon was full.

Werewolves | The History and Origins Behind These Legendary Folklore Creatures

Now, to me, this kind of brings up the chicken or the egg question.

Werewolves | The History and Origins Behind These Legendary Folklore Creatures

Does the moon cause this or do 4000 years of men turning into wolves kind of give us this idea that, oh, it's the full moon out?
