    MYTHS ABOUT

    LYCANS
    Dakota Webster

    Lycanthropy

    The term Lycanthropy comes from the greek words Lukos, "man" and Anthropos, "Wolf"

    The mythos of the Werewolf has existed in some form or another since the
    times of ancient Greece.

    Lycaon, King of Arcadia was transformed into a wolf after serving the flesh
    of his son to the Greek god Zeus in an attempt to discredit Zeus' divinity.

    Europe
    14th Century
    During the middle ages, the fear of Werewolves stormed through Europe.
    Wolves were known to attack men unprovoked and were thought to be evil
    men doing the devils work. The folklore of the werewolf fizzled out in
    England in the 14th century, most likely due to the wolf being widely hunted
    by the Anglo-Saxons.

    The Beast of Gvaudan


    Another famous French Werewolf case was that of the Beast of Gvaudan that
    supposedly attacked around 210 people in this region of south-central France
    between 1764 and 1767, with 113 of them losing their lives.

    Those people to have seen it describe it as having a wolf-like appearance with


    reddish fur, an extremely long tail and huge, vicious teeth.

    Werewolves: Where Did the Belief in the


    Werewolf Begin? Is There Any Proof?
    The First werewolf movie ever produced is called "The Wolf Man" and it was
    released in 1941. That is when the fear of werewolves started. But most
    people were not aware that werewolves have dated back thousands of years,
    even before christ.

    A Sumerian text was written in cuneiform and is known as the Epic of


    Gilgamesh. In this text made up of eleven tablets, the main character
    Gilgamesh seems to take the form of a werewolf.

    Difference Between Lycans and


    Werewolves
    Lycans are more wolf based. They can shift appearance when they want, night
    or day. They represent more of a large walking wolf with a mans posture, and
    of course much more muscular than werewolves. The Lycan is a
    Transylvanian based creature. The evidence is strongly supported, but it is
    nothing similar to a werewolf at all. The Lycan is also much smarter than a
    typical werewolf.

    Different Forms

    Different Forms Part B

    Descriptions

    Alphas are the most powerful breed of Werewolves that are recognizable by their glowing red eyes. In
    order to become an Alpha, a Werewolf has to kill another Alpha to attain their position as leader of a
    pack or form a new pack by gaining the loyalty of other Werewolves.

    Betas are the second most powerful and most common breed of Werewolves. They are recognizable by
    their glowing yellow eyes. To become a Beta, one has to be bitten by another Werewolf or be born as
    one.
    An Omega is a term used to refer to a lone wolf, a Werewolf without a pack. Omegas are virtually no
    different from Betas, though they lack the power that comes from the support of a pack.

    Packs
    Werewolves are generally social creatures that will seek out and form packs to
    increase their strength and form relationships. Similar to real wolves, the
    desire to belong to a pack is natural instinct based on social needs and
    security. Packs can vary in size and power, but are always dominated by an
    Alpha, the strongest wolf in the pack. The Alpha is viewed as the leader of the
    pack and other Werewolves will form a hierarchy below him. Werewolves in
    a pack will often display a strong pack mentality and will be fiercely loyal to
    each other and primarily to their Alpha.

    Abilities

    Enhanced Strength:The supernatural ability to possess a degree of physical


    strength that is unattainable by regular humans.
    Enhanced Speed:The supernatural ability to physically move at a speed that is
    impossible for regular humans to match or even perceive properly.
    Enhanced Durability:The supernatural ability to possess a heightened resistance
    to physical harm and injuries.
    Heightened Senses:The supernatural ability to possess one or more of the five
    senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch) to a degree beyond regular human
    capabilities.
    Longevity:Werewolves possess a natural longer lifespan that ordinary humans and
    will age at a decreased rate once reaching maturity.
    Accelerated Healing:The supernatural ability to heal from sustained wounds and
    injuries at a rapid speed.
    Shape shifting:The supernatural ability to alter one's physical form.

    Weaknesses

    Mortality:The state of being mortal, thus meaning that one is susceptible to


    eventual death.
    Decapitation:Werewolves can be killed through decapitation.
    Heart Extraction:Werewolves can be killed by ripping their hearts from their
    bodies.
    Magic:As well as most supernatural and ordinary beings, Werewolves are
    vulnerable to magic.
    Silver:Werewolves possess a weakness to silver, as it causes their skin to burn
    similar due to an allergic reaction. Additionally, silver suppresses their accelerated
    healing.
    Wolfsbane:An herb that is poisonous to Werewolves. Depending on the exact
    species of plant and preparation, Wolfsbane can be used to weaken them
    physically, cause pain, discomfort or loss of consciousness and even a slow and
    painful death.
