Werewolf

In folklore, a werewolf (Old English: werwulf, ), or occasionally lycanthrope (Greek: λυκάνθρωπος lukánthrōpos, ), is a human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf (or, especially in modern film, a therianthropic hybrid wolflike creature), either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction (often a bite or scratch from another werewolf) with the transformations occurring on the night of a full moon. Early sources for belief in this ability or affliction, called lycanthropy , are Petronius (27–66) and Gervase of Tilbury (1150–1228).
