Wolfpeople

Wolfpeople, also known as lycanthropes or werewolves, are mythical creatures with the ability to shapeshift between human and wolf forms. This transformation is often depicted as involuntary, typically occurring during a full moon. The origin of wolfpeople in folklore varies across cultures, with some tales attributing their condition to a curse, others to a bite from another wolfperson, and some to inherent magical lineage.

In many traditional myths, the wolfperson's human form is indistinguishable from any other human. However, during the transformation, their body undergoes significant physical changes, growing fur, fangs, claws, and adopting the physique of a wolf, often larger and more powerful than a natural wolf. The personality of the wolfperson is also said to change, with the human's intellect and control giving way to primal instincts and aggression.

The lore surrounding wolfpeople often includes themes of duality, the struggle between human reason and animalistic urges. They are frequently portrayed as tragic figures, feared and hunted by humans due to their destructive potential. However, some modern interpretations explore more nuanced portrayals, depicting wolfpeople as misunderstood beings or even protectors. The concept of the wolfperson has been a recurring element in literature, film, and other forms of media, continuing to capture the imagination.
