There are two types of werewolves: "imaginary" werewolves ( lycanthropes) and real werwolves.
Lycanthropy - a mental state in which people (lycanthrope) considers himself a werewolf. However, he does not change its physical form, but is equally dangerous as a real werewolf. Two subtypes of the disease:
Likoreksiya - These people are mentally rastroystva "mentally ill" who consider themselves to be wolves, and are just as these are not ordinary animals, but not any signs of them there is a true wolf.
Porphyria - This is a hereditary (usually) a disease in which, under certain conditions a person's appearance changes, "as it can be called hormonal zboy" The skin on the palms and soles coarsens, shows the rapid growth of body hair, the eyes begin to stadat from bright light. But they in themselves are not what am feeling no desire to anything ...
I am often asked how to become a werewolf, asking recipes and technologies. It is possible that this desire is explained by human nature. Well, where we do not. Free as the wind. Strong as a wolf. Sometimes, watching the life of wolves in nature, come to the admiration of their social relations, how they raise their children, the concepts and the principles perfectly consistent with the nature. Perhaps this is one of those differences from the society of people who have moved away from nature, enclosing himself in a cell, called a town.
Again, I'm talking about the problem of society, but on the other.
A person does not want to be a man. He was ashamed of it. He does not feel pride in the fact that he is a man. And that is what drives him to seek something else.
The man begins to see a werewolf that can give him, the man power to cope with the reality of life. This is a unique way to escape from reality. Incidentally, this is not unique to humans.
Well said RedMercury. I wish more members of this site and those who claim that they are and/or want to be werewolves would read your post, as that would help enlighten them on the realities and truth about many things which they are choosing to avoid and not see.
From what I know the term "Lycan" came from norse mythology. Werewolves were more wolf then man, were as lycans had more human features but still had the wolf.
