Throughout recorded history the Werewolf has been a part of the fabric of folklore. Each historic period, country and culture have aberrations to the story of the Werewolf, in the end they are all referring to the same type of creature, half human, half animal. Along with the many variations of the Werewolf throughout history and literature, there are many ways to become a Werewolf. As far back as ancient Greece, it was suggested that being bitten by another Werewolf was how one joined their ranks. Others thought that the Transformation into a Werewolf was the work of a curse placed upon the person.
The Werewolf possessed the attributes of a animal while maintaining human characteristics, it was said to have super human strength with keen senses. The Werewolf was said to posses attributes beyond both Man and Wolf. In most early cultures the Werewolf in animal form was said to be indistinguishable from a wolf, in later literature he was depicted as walking on two legs. In all cultures, The Werewolf was described as a virulent, death seeking creature, who roamed the night in search of victims. Most cultures related the full moon to the killing sprees of the Werewolf.
As the folklore of the Werewolf was reinvented through cultures and centuries, the transformation process from human to Werewolf evolved. The various transformation methods of the Werewolf throughout history have included, laying in the light of a full moon, drinking the water from the footprint of an animal, rubbing the body with a magic potion, drinking specially prepared potions and Satanic allegiance.
