Every Type of Werewolf Explained

Every type of werewolf, explained. Lycaon, the king whose punishment created the first werewolf. The Vârcolac, the wolf that eats the sun and the moon. Bisclavret, the knight trapped in wolf form by his own wife. The Luison, the cursed seventh son of South America. The Faoladh, the Irish werewolf that protected people instead of hunting them. Plus the Pricolici, the Volkodlak, Melion — and the real werewolf trials of Peter Stumpp in 1589 and old Thiess, the man who told a court in 1692 that he was a werewolf. From Greek kings to courtroom records, these are the werewolves people actually believed in.
