You know??
I know there are shamans and medicine men who are convinced they are able to 'shape-shift' into another form of life, but when you ingest enough magic shrooms, you will be convinced of being able to shape-shift too.
However, that is very different from
actually shape-shifting into another life-form.
So Are Werewolves Real?
In my opinion, The answer to this, is yes. Werewolves do exist. The species has been brought about as a myth and legend so the human population would not go on killing sprees
again, like in the dark ages and medieval times. Now, there are many explanations as to why these creatures exist, although there is no 'logical' explanation, there are the ones that make the most sense. European Werewolves
Werewolves originated in southern and eastern Europe, around the area of the Carpathian Mountains. These are the European Werewolves. In physical features, they are about a medium build, often having more muscle mass then fat (if well kept). They usually are more quiet, communicating more through looks and small gestures. The males are often
larger then females, except in the case of "Alpha Wolves" or were's that keep growing at a slow pace to maintain dominance (much like the wild wolves). The European were was nearly wiped out, but a few packs managed to save themselves by immigrating to the New World. European werewolves were once able to change into wolves, but those that mated with humans soon had the gene for shifting bred out of the blood line. European Werewolves are also called lycans.
Skin-Walkers A Skin-Walker is a Native American-Indian who takes the form of a wolf or coyote. The Navajo tribe called these "Yenaldalooshi" or "He who walks on four legs". The story goes that when one wears the skin of an animal, it gathers that animal's power and becomes that animal by shape-shifting. That was back before the European Werewolf was introduced to the United States. This intermingling of species soon eliminated the ability for the majority of the Skin-Walker population. There are still very few of the pure-blood Skin-Walkers left, and of those only a handful can still shift. Now, the "shifting" takes place mentally, in this case, the werewolf or skin-walker takes on the mentality of the animal and behaves as a wolf would.
Personality Characteristics of a Lycan. If you are confused about weather yourself or a friend/family member is a werewolf, check these traits. The love of rare/raw red meats, the love of the outdoors, running, and singing. Also,
watch for abnormal behavior during the Full or New Moon, this can include increased violence, sexual urges, depression or excessive hyperactivity Determine how many friends are around, and if there is care and protective feelings towards a certain amount. Most were's communicate mostly by using body language and eye messages rather then vocally. There is a pronouned sense of justice and an almost regal air around an 'Alpha' wolf. With all the interbreeding of wolves and humans, there are no real standoutish physical traits, save for the occasional pointed ear or long canine tooth or sharp finger nails. Hairy arms or legs have nothing to do with being a werewolf either.
