So, I've been doing academic research on shape-shifters (literature, folklore, theological responses) for nearly a decade now. In that time (including researching and writing a dissertation on the subject, as well as a few articles and the book I'm currently working on), I've never heard of these things. This leaves me with two questions: 1) What, written (or video game as I suspect that's where they've come from), sources were/are being used to create the page and 2) Shouldn't this, if it indeed should exist on the site, be a sub-heading on the werewolf page (because that's what it sounds like)?
As a medievalist, my first thought on seeing the title was that it had something to do with the anonymous 14th century poem "Sir Orfeo" (a medieval reimagining of the Greek story of Orpheus and Eurydice), but clearly that is not the case.

There is not one single humanoid being on this planet who can change his shape in ANY manner similiar to the legends of lycanthropy. Shapeshifting would require a miraculous growth and loss of bone as the skeleton would reshape itself, a rearrangement of organs and connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels - requiring “movement” of these structure through deep tissue and muscle, a complete repatterning of the DNA code, a thickening of the dermis and growth of fur from hair follicles generated on the spot, a reallocation of body mass and generation of body tissue, and a loss of brain tissue as the brain cavity “shrunk” to the dimensions of the wolf cranium. When you lose brain tissue, it is like a VHS tape being erased – any data or associative functions stored there are gone for good – like in a stroke or TIA. A werewolf able to transform would return to human form suffering from retardation, and would be an idiot at best and an animalistic killer at worst. The caloric expenditure necessary is so high it is impossible – the human body cannot ingest enough food to power such a change. Also, the pain involved would be so excruciating that the system itself would shut down, and the cardiac muscle would rupture and the “werewolf” would die from a cardiac hemmorhage. There are no separate races of humanoids on this planet – by now they would have interbred with “regular” humans and we’d all be the same species anyway. There is NO "werewolf gene". The concept of werewolves being shapechanging wolves is really absurd – wolves are descended from prehistoric canine creatures, such as the dire wolf. Humans are descended from upright, bipedal hominids. Nature “engineered” wolves and humans to be two different species, with different specializations and physical construction. I’m a Nurse.

There are powers beyond the accepted view of this "scientific" age. The vast majority of free thinkers these days know there are more strange things happening around us all than can possibly be explained by so-called "logic". Even the great philanthropist Carnegie believed everyone could reach a greater conciousness that is in & around us all.
You only have to accept & believe the posibility & have great mental focus in order to acheive anything in this life. Who can prove lycanthropy or similar acts are impossible? NO-ONE!!

Not everything in this world can be medacally explained. For instance if a doctor/nurse tells a patient he/she has a 3% chance of survival. All the medical issues and scientific explanation are all there but yet he/she still lives. The doctor/nurse can't believe what they are seeing or hearing. The reason they don't beleive is because they did not calculate one thing. Will power. Most often shifters have the faith and will power to go through the pain. But their body also has the natural born ability to withstand the amount of pain and the change itself. And if you look deep enough and hard enough you can actually find scientific evidence that certain (if not all) humans are a decendent of the wolf.
