Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Werebeasts are creatures that can transform between a human (or at least humanoid) form and an animal or animal-like form. They are also known as "werecreatures" or "were-animals". The prefix "were" comes from the Old English word "wer", meaning "man". The technical term for this is therianthropy, from the Greek words for "beast" and "man". The better known Lycanthropy comes from the Greek words for "wolf" and "man", and should only be used for Werewolves. Such creatures can be found in the mythology of many cultures, and the myths have inspired the frequent use of werecreatures in modern Speculative Fiction, particularly Fantasy and Horror. |
