A werewolf is a mythical creature that is said to transform from a human into a wolf or a wolf-like being, typically during a full moon. This transformation is often associated with folklore and legends from various cultures, where the werewolf is depicted as a person cursed or afflicted with a condition that compels them to change. In many stories, werewolves possess enhanced strength, speed, and senses, making them formidable predators. The concept of werewolves has been popularized in literature and film, with notable examples including The Wolf Man and Twilight. These tales often explore themes of duality and the struggle between human nature and primal instincts.
