2. Werewolf myths have been around perhaps
even longer than those associated with
vampires and zombies. For example, Ancient
Greek mythology tells of Lycaon, a man
transformed into a wolf after eating human
flesh.
3. While the specific attributes of werewolves vary
across different cultures, the beast itself is
generally the same: a part-man, part-wolf
creature of the night who preys on humans.
But just as with vampires and zombies, most
of the myths surrounding werewolves do not
hold up to scrutiny.
4. Only silver can kill a werewolf
• Source: Silver is identified with the moon and
is therefore ideal to slay a creature
transformed under the light of the full moon.
Eventually this myth expanded to include all
"unnatural" creatures of the night, such as
vampires.
5. • Fact: To kill a werewolf, you must use bullets or
cartridges with serious stopping power to pierce
its thick hide, but they need not be made of
silver. Just be sure to aim for the head or the
heart.
