Some Werewolf Myths

Werewolf myths have been around perhaps even longer than those of vampires and zombies. Ancient Greek mythology tells of Lycaon, a man transformed into a wolf after eating human flesh. The word werewolf is thought to be derived from the Old English "wer," meaning man. While the specific attributes of werewolves vary across different cultures, the beast itself is generally the same: a part-man, part-wolf creature of the night who preys on humans. But just as with vampires, most of the myths surrounding werewolves do not hold up to scrutiny. Another common myth about werewolf transformation is black magic and curses. Silver is just a useless piece of metal, it does not harm a werewolf. Any type of weapon can be used as aid for escape. In order for you to become a werewolf, you must get bitten by a werewolf, have a curse on you, or black magic is involved. To be a pureblooded werewolf, you must be born of a pureblood male and female, Purebloods fur is only silver. The pureblood werewolves are the alpha males. There are very few pureblood werewolves.
