You can't "research" something that does not exist.

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.

You are trying to apply Natural Logic to something (if they exist) that is of the Supernatural. In situations like this our everyday logic and science needs to go out the window and we need to think outside the box. Then and only then are we able to comprehend if some of these Creatures and /or Beings might actaully exist.

Depends on what kind of research is being done. As a scholar of literature, folklore, and psychology, I research and study werewolves (specifically their appearance in literature and folklore and what these appearances tell us about ourselves, our minds, and our society). But, werewolves don't exist, and by your logic I can't possibly research or study them, so everything I've published in the last couple years and the book I'm working on right now must not exist.

And to you MR or MS Nurse... All their TISSUES and ORGANS have the capability to REGENERATE Each and EVERY time they Shape Shift, Which in tern makes them almost IMMORTAL. Your speaking of the natural, This is what you call SUPER NATURAL!! 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

THANK YOU.
This person has made the rather large mistake of applying a Natural logic to a SuperNatural creature, therefore this explanation, while very brilliantly detailed, is completely and totally invalid.

Not quite Melanjo, see when you get wounded, and the wound slowly heals, the new flesh and skin doesn't magicly teleport into our world, these new cells are slowly produced by the body, that's why the body needs food, the body grows slowly and heals slowly because it makes new tissue slowly, we get new tissue from Food as said earlier, and if this werewolf has to grow gigantic ammounts of flesh and bones in several seconds, the question is, where do those bones and that flesh come from?

Regeneration is the least of the problems.


See, I believe what I see, I don't believe in Gods because I can't see them, I don't believe in Evolution because ive yet to see a turtle turn into a bear right in front of me, but I have however seen felt smelt (unfortunately) and heard, biology.

Once again, il believe it when I see it, pics or it didn't happen.
There is sciense that is based on theory, that sciense can be wrong, but than there's sciense based on fact and research, that can't be wrong.
