No one seems to understand what a REAL werewolf is. Were mean "upright" or "standing" so its a "standing wolf". so a human that turns into a large wolf is NOT a werewolf. that is a shape shifter. Werewolves are not lovable and cuddly. They, by centuries of lore, will slaughter their own mother. The transformation is painful and not willful. So now you have been informed :). i have nothing against shifters unless they are called werewolves.
