Werewolves are what the kids call "OG," got it. Also, bias? You? Toward werewolves? Perish the thought. XD

i like the movie Apocalypto that much more for getting the lore right :D

Werewolves but other animals is a pretty obvious derivative approach. Once you have a world that includes werewolves there isn't really any reason why it would be restricted to canines so it is a fairly easy way to expand your world's menagerie of the strange. Likewise, don't really see why just because they are the originals they would logically be the most powerful. First and best are not inherently linked. Once you bring other animals into the mix of potential transformation targets you also bring other aspects, one of the popular ones for werewolves seems to be that they run in packs. Is this linked in any way to folklore?

Yeah, that being the most popular aspect has always gotten them dumbed down in games, too. Wolves get reduced to being pack animals as their only trait, whereas other animals get to play to their individual strengths, because of society's inaccurate concept that a lone wolf is ineffective. Other animals will get attribute bonuses, wolves just get bonuses around other wolves. In folklore, werewolves are always standalone and not linked to pack dynamics (or special abilities like "werewolves get attack bonuses around other werewolves!" whereas werebears get to "be strong all the time no matter if alone or in a group of other werebears or other creatures"). I never said "logically," though, or that first and best are related. :P Like I said, I have a personal bias and I know it. I'm just saying I don't like the other ones or expanding them in that way, since I was asked my opinion on it. Other creatures can be other things. Let werewolves be werewolves. That's my take on it. (And I don't like the other canines, either; I like werewolves. I've always been this way. Other people can have the menagerie and play the game of "what werecreature are they turning into?" though, that's cool. XD)

I do find the topic of non wolf werecreatures to be interesting.

A voice :O

If warewolfs are not real in Britain or the history of them, then explain why they create TV shows like: Wolfblood 2012 ‧ Drama ‧ 2 seasons total??? How about movies?? Like UNDERWORLD???

How dare you.
