Werewolves

The legend of werewolf or lykanthrop is one of the most ancient in the history. It's a mythological human that has the ability to shape into a wolf-like creature. This transformation from human to wolf is due to a sort of magic. As the myth says, this happens when the moon is full at midnight 12 o'clock. Also the wolf-woman is named shewolf.


 The most known story that refers to werewolves' existence is Little Red Riding Hood. In this tale, there is a wolf who speaks to the girl and after dresses with her grandma's clothes,something that a common wolf can't do. Children  realise that wolves look like  creatures that behave like people.
In movies, a werewolf is a combination of a wolf and a human- like a hairy human. Real werewolves change their shape so from human they become wolves. By this I mean that their skin converts to the wolf's skin.


A werewolf can be identified by some signs:
  1. Red hair
  2. Born on the 25th of December
  3. Index and middle fingers have the same length
  4. Love the raw meat
  5. Hair on the palm of the hands and 
  6. Hair on the inside of the skin
