A WERE WOLFLycanthropy is the ability or power of a human being to undergo transformation into a wolf, or to gain wolf-like characteristics. The term comes from Greek lyknthropos (): , lkos ("wolf") + , nthrpos ("human").[1] The word lycanthropy is sometimes used generically for any transformation of a human into animal form, though the precise term for that is technically "therianthropy".
