Werewolf is monster #3 from Series 1.

Werewolf has appeared in several incarnations of the franchise, often seen among the heroic monsters. Werewolf was brought back for the 2006 Series.

Series 1[]

Werewolf is a twenty-five point monster and is available in the original colors of green and red, plus all four later neon colors and rarer premium colors of neon orange and pink. He is depicted as a wolf humanoid in a pose as if he's howling at the moon.

Official biography[]

Species: Humanoid/Animal
Born: Descended from Indo-European warriors during ancient times.
Size: 6 Feet Tall
Habitat: Cities and dark forests throughout the world

The Werewolf combines the intelligence of a human with the strength and cunning of a deadly wolf. In his "human" form, this quiet and unassuming creature can sometimes be identified by certain features such as hair growing on his palms, long index fingers, eyebrows which grow together, and worst of all - dirty toe nails! When exposed to a full moon, he is secretly transformed into a blood-thirsty, growling beast who possesses a craving for human flesh. The only known method of killing the werewolf is with a silver bullet. So, if there's a full moon out tonight, listen carefully to that distant howl... another victim perhaps?

2006 series[]

06werewolf

Werewolf was one of the monsters who received a complete make-over for the 2006 remake. He is monster #7, and is placed in the group "The Humanoids". His background photo is of a pine forest within a snowy tundra, and the Moon in its waxing gibbon phase (ironically enough).

Official biography[]

A cross between a human male and a wolf, the Werewolf has a hairy body, sharp claws, and very sharp teeth. He is a normal human most of the time, but when there's a full moon - watch out! ... He turns into a savage wolf who stalks and kills his prey.

Comic Book Series (1991)[]

Werewolfcomics

In the Monster in My Pocket comic series, Werewolf is first approached by Vampire to aid him in the meeting on Monster Mountain with Warlock. Seemingly a close friend of Vampire's, Werewolf agreed, and was shrunk down with the others after Warlock's scheme succeeded. When first changed, Werewolf immediately attacks a stray cat, which was hissing at the heroic group of monsters. Vampire quickly calmed Werewolf down, and the group was able to escape. Later, in the battle against the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Werewolf teamed up with Vampire, Golem, and Swamp Beast, and were able to defeat the monster.

The Big Scream[]

Wolfmon

Werewolf appeared once again as a good monster in the animated special The Big Scream, voiced by Stuart K. Robinson. He called himself Wolfmon, and spoke with a Jamaican accent. He, along with Dr. Henry Davenport, Mummy, and Big Ed, were the protagonists of the cartoon. He aided the Invisible Man in his experiments, but more often than not relaxed, waiting for a cure. Having a laid-back personality, Wolfmon battled Medusa in the climactic battle with the evil monsters, but was turned to stone. He eventually recovered and went back to stay with Carrie Raven.

Upcoming Animated Series[]

Origin[]

The legend of werewolves began in Ancient European folklore. Legend said that a person becomes a werewolf when they're cursed for evil acts, sleep outside under a full moon, drink from a stream used by wolves, or when they receive a bite or a scratch from a werewolf. Most of the time, werewolves appear in human form, often with a strange birthmark, long fingernails, bushy eyebrows, or hairy palms. However, in the light of the full moon, they transform into their beast form and goes on the hunt for living victims. When werewolves are hungry and can't find enough victims in the streets, legend has it that they head to the local graveyard to dig up fresh bodies and feast on their remains.

There were many ways to break the curse. One was to wound the beast and it would turn back into a human. To kill a werewolf, weapons blessed by the church were used. In more modern times, legend said that the only way to kill a werewolf was with a silver bullet, as silver is often considered a metal that banishes evil.

In medieval Europe, many people believed in werewolves. Some people actually confessed to being the cursed beasts themselves. These people were likely suffering from a mental disorder called lycanthropy. As late as 1720, people were hunted down, tried and convicted of being werewolves.

Trivia[]

  • Werewolf did not appear in the Konami video game, presumably because he had allied himself with Vampire and the Monster in the comic series that the game is loosely based on.
