Werewolves are a very common creature in Goosebumps Media. Generally, they all appear the same: human-shaped wolves with a violent cravings for meat, especially humans.
Werewolves in Depth
There are multiple signs one can follow to determine who may be a werewolf:
- The person may oddly know a lot about werewolves, or mention having dealt with them.
- They may howl or enjoy a full moon.
- Suspicious behavior in general.
Becoming a Werewolf:
"Even a man who is pure of heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the Autumn moon is bright." (The Wolf Man *1941*)
Multiple instances can lead to one transforming into a werewolf. Usually, it is as a result of being bitten by another one.
It is also shown in Werewolf Skin, that some people may naturally be cursed and transform into werewolves unless the werewolf skin can be removed in certain conditions. Which includes burning the skins unless you do not wish to kill the person under the curse.
A werewolf
Most Werewolves that appear in the series have a human form usually seen until near the end of the book or story. This is because they plan to either kill, bite, or attack the person they are usually concealing this from.
They typically choose when to reveal their true form, usually when the captive is alone and/or defenseless.
