In my opinion, the wolf monster in front of me mentioned by my sister is somewhat similar to the werewolf she said, but it is more like the butcher that was rumored in Europe from the early past.

European legends about werewolves have matured and become more and more realistic, saying that werewolves are much taller than the average human in addition to having wolf heads and hair all over their bodies.

Werewolves are more terrifying monsters than vampires due to their addiction to human flesh and the raw flesh of other animals, and their penchant for preying on humans.

Werewolves are basically divided into two types: one is natural, that is, they are born werewolves. This kind of werewolf is very fierce and strong, and has the ability to transform into a human.

They usually use this ability to deceive - after transforming into a human form, the average person will not recognize it.

In this way, I don't know how many innocent people died under the mask of werewolves. Werewolves are brutal by nature and are very difficult enemies, as their speed and keen sense of smell make them even more dangerous.

The other is acquired, mostly because they are cursed and will lose their minds and become a hungry slaughterer on a moonlit night, and revert to a human during the day.

This type of werewolf will not be able to return to human form for the rest of its life due to the curse it receives, and unless someone lifts the curse, it will be bathed in blood like a natural werewolf for the rest of their lives.

A small number of lucky ones still have a faint humanity left, but they are usually unable to stop the slaughter. They are not as tough as natural werewolves, but they are also a competent butcher - acquired werewolves can also bite people to death with a single blow.

The pentagram as a symbol of evil will be imprinted on the hands of the werewolf's next victim; And once a person is bitten by a werewolf, he will also become a werewolf.

There's an easy way to reduce the chance of a werewolf killing: make him eat well while he's still in human form.

In case you are unfortunate enough to encounter a werewolf, there are still some ways to deal with it: first, to recognize its identity and call out its name on the spot, which may be difficult to do; The second is to knock it on its forehead three times or draw a cross symbol, the question is whether it will obediently let you draw it; If none of the above works, immediately shout and shoot a bright light to scare the werewolf away, such as shouting: Help!

Help me!. If you want to trace the true identity of the werewolf, you can leave a scar on its body, and then look for the person with this scar on the body the next day, ancient European superstition was prevalent, in addition to wolves, there were cats, especially black cats, rams, owls and crows and other animals were designated by the church and the people as the incarnation or slave of the devil.

Why is it that only the stories of werewolves have survived, but not the stories of cat-people or bird-people?

Let's explain the problem: first of all, from a biological point of view, there are no big cats in Europe, which means that people have not been attacked by large beasts such as lions, tigers or even leopards.

The large beasts of prey native to Europe are bears and wolves, and the only ones that posed a threat to animal husbandry and human and even personal safety in ancient Europe were roaming wolves.

Unlike bears, which attack humans when attacked, wolves are murderous and tend to attack humans and their livestock.

When wolves attack sheep or reindeer herds, they often kill their own prey that they can't eat, often causing great losses to herders.

As for the place of animal husbandry in the agricultural economy of ancient Europe, we can judge by relying on an old German proverb describing the anthrax plague in livestock: "It came like a fog and destroyed not only the flocks of the rich landlords, but also the dilapidated farmhouses and the cows on which the poor widow depended...... We can see that in northern and western Europe, animal husbandry was far more important than agriculture, and the wild wolf, the pest that destroyed the livelihood of the peasants, was hated by Europeans.

One of the psychological characteristics of human beings is to demonize their enemies, from the above-mentioned wolf grandmother who can speak upright is an example of the shadow left by the wolf in people's hearts, compared with ancient Chinese myths and legends, we can find that Europeans have also imposed on wolves the deceptive methods adopted by many oriental fox spirits, believing that werewolves can lure young children into the jungle and kill them there, etc.

Of course, if the big cats had managed to settle on the continent at the end of the Ice Age, it would have been more than just roaming wolves that would have suffered from Europeans – perhaps something similar to India

Legends such as the "Tiger Man" have been handed down and are unknown. (To be continued)
