Every Type of Werewolf - Werewolf Classification

welcome back monster i'ts and welcome new viewers I monster master Arthur and welcome to world of monsters everything monster approaching the finalization period to our video compendium of every werewolf of every movie ever I think it's a good time for a little break and discuss and classify the various types or forms of werewolves out there before we begin let's first establish that we are on the same page here on what a werewolf is a human that has the ability to change into a werewolf the word change here will be interchangeable with the words shape-shift shift turn and transform therefore not dog men not will folk nor any other similar creatures that are naturally and permanently in this biological form where or were wolf broken down meaning man wolf or in our case and following person or human wolf will be the general term used here as well as the term for our starting point in this classification werewolf a bipedal form that other than standing upright retains more features of a wolf especially in the head area examples of this may be observed within the bones structure such as elongated limb bones also there may be a digitigrade leg structure a had much more reminiscent of wolves than that of humans the creature may move on all fours but usually upright when standing [Music] looking into our human history in search of actual accounts of werewolves we come upon a certain disorder named clinical lycanthropy in this case the person believes himself or herself to be an actual werewolf this ill or sick person although completely delusional this type can be added into our classification as they may still pose a threat and characteristics quite beyond that of most regular people humans to this one we will refer to as the feral man or fair woman feral person therefore here now we have two extremes the full-on werewolf form and is still completely human form honing the lick Anthropy mental disorder and so now as we delve deeper into the earliest depictions of werewolves we find one that features king-like on or Lacan who has turned into a wolf for trying to track Zeus into eating human flesh but unlike the original wording some early depictions show a hybrid this early mythology later influenced countless stories depictions and beliefs resulting in an uprise and art featuring a variety of werewolves including the aforementioned feral man with whom may have denoted cases of cannibalism who are indeed involved strange artwork of wolf human hybrids continued to span the decades the centuries on to this day the day of motion picture where came forth one of the most famous werewolves ever a creation by Universal Studios Wolfman and therefore we will use this term for the next classification the main attribute of being a Wolfman would be having more human than well features and this would be sort of the middle ground between human or feral person and true werewolf form examples of a wolf man or a woman slash person form would have an overall face reminiscent of a human no muzzle the overall silhouette of the head of being more human in shape meaning more rounded overall the spacing and positioning of the ears eyes and those would be good points of reference here as with a human head the ears would be lower eyes would be present at the front or more at the front of the skull and the nose more or completely on the face rather than a muzzle or developing muzzle structure at this moment we also have to take into account the original wordings within where King Vikon was transformed into a wolf and therefore we have the wolf form werewolf that has itself been adapted to much lore and to better distinguish and apply a specific term will use canids or cannons upon closer inspection of the candidate family we can actually further diversify and get a more accurate werewolf wolf form term here the family breaks down into three one of which is canon II or Canon i within here this category again divides into two one of which is more involving of foxes and the other of wolves therefore as we close in on the final category we find ourselves under the term canon a-- also referred to as canines at this point we can further the separation one more time and segregate out the canis genus within which most wolf types are included and now we have a more accurate werewolf rather than were fox or were dog of sorts fun fact the genus in which we find African Wild Dogs is named Lee Cohen after the famed shape-shifted King hence the full at name of the Eastern African wild dog Lacan pictus loopiness looking over our werewolf form classification here it seems there are still some missing links werewolf the apocalypse a role-playing game nicely organizes werewolves into five logical types but looking at various tales and media and depictions to this day these may not seem the most accurate also the categorization here is largely in fluence by your fiction movies there is quite a space between Wolfman and true werewolf a form example that may fit and well here is featured with in the underworld movie series lichens have a place in this lore as well as werewolves according to the lore of underworld lichens are the result of infected humans by first generation werewolf bloodlines the outcome being a creature that retains its former human personality a less wolfish form as well as abilities such as developed control over their transformations since we have no other term here and lichen not only being short for a lycanthrope which means man wolf in greek look anthropos but lichen here also appropriately pays homage to king like on what to look for when determining a lichen not fully extended muscles and/or wolf ears body structure and anatomy more humanoid head silhouette is a medium between wolf in human this all in all gives us five variations but what about quadrupeds types that are not quite wolf one of the most famed movie werewolves to date American Werewolf in London features a quadrupedal that is neither completely akin to a typical wolf nor the bipedal where will version here we may have to add a middle ground within this classification or a substructure or level some four-legged depictions of werewolves are so monstrous that there seems to be barely any wolf in there we shall name this type monstrous canis this type can be possibly viewed as a sub specie if that is a preference within the lore of your creation examples are features here to watch out for always or usually on all fours that may at times stand and walk upright such as bears face and our body structuring is not akin to wolf or human though in its lore again it is considered a werewolf bipedal forms run into the same issue hence we shall dub this form monstrous werewolf significant points here being the face and our body structuring not being akin to that of a wolves or humans though yet still within the lure the creature is considered a werewolf it may seem the classification is now complete but there is yet still another one that is more than the feral man or woman yet less than wolf person this form may feature elongated teeth particularly canines maybe a tail enlarged and ears like those of a wolf this form will be called hominid or humanoid rather than just a jumbled human feral man a person that actually has n or several non-human wolfish anatomical elements since this classification is based around the werewolf form a suggested rule of thumb to follow when one has found themselves indecisive between two forms is to always first study the physical form and to which side it leans more rule for human this should be the main deciding factor yet if no conclusions can be drawn the personality character and behavior of the werewolf should be researched if more in control of themselves and able to use items such as tools and even weapons and at times even communicate then the more human related form is to be considered if the particular werewolf under observation is more feral or wild and out of control or animalistic then the final verdict should lean toward the more wolfish side all in all the classification here is designed to help you better distinguish the various werewolves seen within their various contexts considering this as mythology viewers are reminded to respect the creators and their work and the terms they choose to label their monsters their werewolves within their lore if you are uncertain of a werewolf you are trying to classify we welcome you to reach out within the comments section below

TVTropes "Our Werewolves are Different" and "Sliding scale of Anthrpomrphism" are relevant. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OurWerewolvesAreDifferent

True WW all the way

Honestly I feel like the “monstrous” forms and the “lycan” form presented here don’t really count as werewolves at all
