Werewolf Description
6 years ago
General
So I thought I would describe the characteristics of how my fursona Wolferren is a werewolf.
First of all, I have been interested in werewolves in fantasy, movies and art for a very long time, but I have never been comfortable with the hideous, monstrous and diseased versions that is popular by Hollywood. I tend to prefer a more natural and beautiful blend of human and wolf. I was happy to discover that in D&D and in historical mythology there are werewolves who are not mindless beasts that go on rampages. The faoladh of Ireland were seen as protectors and healers in the forests. And also within my own writing, I created a race of werewolves who are born in their anthro form--they are not diseased and nor can they turn others into a werewolf. Being a fan of WoW in my past I also fell in love with the worgen.
So when I decided to make a werewolf fursona for myself, I wanted to join the aspects of the irish mythology with that of the natural, born into the species. One change though: my character has NO human form. His main form is that of an anthropomorphic wolf, albeit somewhat more feral-looking than a typical wolf furry, though not in a monstrous kind of way. My character can transform into a large direwolf, which is pretty much the aspect that makes him a werewolf. Many original werewolf mythologies had no bipedal monster form, but were ordinary men who turn into ordinary wolves. Thus is it similar with my character: an anthro wolf who transforms into a direwolf.
I maaaay do some casual writing about my fursonas. I haven't done much writing in the last couple of years, but I have been feeling the urge. But the subject of writing is a journal for another day ;)
