The werewolf (werwolf) is also called a lycanthrope (lukos, wolf; anthrope, man; origin: Greek). It is a mythic beast which can morph into a human or wolf, usually depended upon a full moon. Werewolves come about by a one lycanthrope biting a human, but not killing it. Unlike the vampire, the werewolf does not possess the ability to choose who to convert.
