Werewolves are very popular in modern fiction with movies and books based on Werewolves being released all the time. They're a personal favorite of mine, there have been some really good werewolf movies plus TV series in recent years.

What is a Werewolf?
 
Werewolves are humans that have the ability to turn into a Wolf or a Wolf like creature or humanoid Wolf. A Werewolf can also be known as a Lycanthrope or just simply Lycan which is commonly used in the Underworld films. The werewolf myth is originally thought to have originated from Europe, In this modern day world they're well known world wide.

Werewolf Characteristics
 
A Werewolf's transformation can be triggered by a Full Moon or some Werewolves are portrayed with the ability to transform whenever they like, to turn at will. Depending on how they are portrayed in what ever fictional medium, their strengths vary, this normally includes enhanced physical strength and speed, these abilities are normally only apparent in Werewolf form, but sometimes these abilities can be apparent while they're in human form. Some werewolves are shown as immortal creatures that can only be killed by silver, others portray them as mortal creatures that age and die just like normal humans.
