i love werewolves

So there is a comment that says werewolves do transform upon will. It seems that some werewolves can meditate in a way that will have strict control over th “evil beast” inside. The meditation theory is very interesting one I had not yet thought of. Could this werewolf transformation theory be the only way they transform? Fact or fiction? One explanation is possible the anger that is built and evil that has to be let out of the body itself, similar to the way the Incredible Hulk would change. Whether it be a female werewolf or male in transformation I think it makes no difference. Is this fact or fiction?

Btw, I have been seeing inquiries on why werewolves howl at the moon. Any possible answers?

Dear werewolf 967,

I agree, according to the definitions, a werewolf is both an animal and a monster. And yes, I do believe that humans have souls, and…I actually believe that all living animals also have souls. Which means that yes, I believe werewolves have souls also! Just because they (may be) evil, or the devil’s associate, does not mean they have no soul - for example, murderers, criminals, and horrible people do have souls - but they are so evil that their soul goes back to the devil once they die! So could it not be that a werewolf yes is evil, has a soul, and once he dies the soul goes back to the devil! But maybe we will never agree on this, so let’s move on.

I did see the comment that someone said that werewolves do not transform under the full moon. I think this comes from modern portrayals of werewolves, where werewolves seem to have more control over their “transformations” - for example, Remus Lupin from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, or Underworld (didn’t they also have werewolves that had more control over their transformations?) So, the ‘werewolf tranforms because of the full moon’ is really old-fashioned thinking. I think when you first become a werewolf it is because of the full moon, but once you’ve been a werewolf for a while you start to have more control over the werewolf transformation and can transform as you feel like becoming a werewolf. It just takes practice, because really, if you think about it, what would prevent you from becoming a werewolf whenever you want to?

Buddy,

First of all there is absolutely no proof to be had that animals have souls, as we all know humans are “one of a kind”, to say that a rat has a “soul” is something similar to saying that the devil or the werewolf has one too.  Dare we return to the “fact or fiction” type of discussion?

Your other question is tricky also!

You ask me, “do you think a werewolf is a monster or an animal”? But you just read me the possible answer to the werewolf quiz question too!

One of your definitions says that an animal is anything other than human. We can all agree on this fact! A werewolf, when transformed, is not human. The monster definition seems to be a varitation of the animal definition, by your given definition a monster could also be an animal. So, the two definitions would put the werewolf into a sub-category of either animal or monster.

So Buddy, you still believe that a werewolf has a soul?  Partly because you believe animals have souls?! We are assuming that we as humans have a soul and are setting aside the possibility of this “soul” only being created by our brain or thoughts. So, assuming again, that we have souls, Mr. Werewolf must be one special animal, monster, and or devils associate to be able to go through life and be unaware is it’s actions, feeding endlessly, and or killing upon any instinct possible.

A werewolf has no soul.

A werewolf is a  monster and animal.

One comment posted here said werewolves do not change or transform under the full moon. If they do not do it under the full moon then when do werewolves transform?

Werewol967,

Technically speaking, a werewolf is a monster according to the online dictionary which says:

• a werewolf is “a human being who has changed into a wolf, or is capable of assuming the form of a wolf, while retaining human intelligence.”
• a monster is (well actually there are several definitions, but here is one:) “any animal or human grotesquely deviating from the normal shape, behavior, or character” OR “any creature so ugly or monstrous as to frighten people”

Since a werewolf does deviate from the normal shape and behavior of HUMANS, and does frighten people, then yes, by human definition a werewolf is a monster. However I personally believe that a werewolf should be classified as a species of animal. So if classified as an animal, then a werewolf is NOT a monster!

Here is the online definition of an animal:

• an animal is any such living thing other than a human being.

So, a werewolf is an animal. Animals do have souls and are neither good nor evil. Therefore a werewolf has a soul and is neither good nor evil.

Do you think a werewolf is a monster or an animal?

Buddy, I cannot comment on this picture. But I can say that people have actually seen “real” werewolves. There are sightings of werewolves all over the United States, but probably more sightings of werewolves in London right?! Documented cases! So they say anyway. We have yet to see any actual pictures of these monsters.

We talked about werewolves having souls or not and possibly came to an agreement. But can you agree that your belief is that a werewolf is a “monster”? What does the term werewolf actually mean? Is a monster and a werewolf the same thing?
