5. They Have Super Strength

Having ultra senses and physical power beyond any human or wolf their paws can cause much damage to anybody that encounters them. Anyhow it is hard to find one because they hide so well, most likely you will encounter a werewolf only if they want to appear to you.

The strength we're talking about isn't just about breaking twigs or toppling a chair; it's the kind of power that can bend steel and smash through concrete. In folklore, you'll hear tales of werewolves tossing carts like toys and felling large trees with a single swipe. For any gal out there who appreciates the importance of feeling safe, it's unsettling to imagine an entity that can overpower you without breaking a sweat. It's no surprise that the mere thought can make one's skin crawl and heart race with primal fear.

4. False Media Propaganda

The Hollywood movies are full of werewolf like creatures that attack humans and this is the reason why many people have unjustified fear for these animals. In reality they have a treaty with humans, however not all are respecting that and there may be cases of attack. But they have a good reason for doing it.

The portrayal of werewolves in the media often depicts them as monstrous predators, but this is far from the whole truth. While their appearance may be intimidating, with their towering form and lupine features, these cinematic representations ignore the peaceful coexistence that has been established over time between werewolves and humans. Misunderstandings and fear generally stem from sensationalism rather than fact. Werewolves, typically reclusive, only reveal their nature under specific circumstances, and instances of aggression are exceedingly rare, usually prompted by severe threats or violation of their secretive realm.

The very notion of losing one's humanity and surrendering to a wild, primal nature strikes a chord of primal fear in our hearts. It's not just the physical transformation that's terrifying, but also the loss of control, the potential danger we could pose to loved ones, and the absolute alteration of our identity. The psychological horror of witnessing oneself succumb to such a monstrous change is a powerful deterrent. Moreover, the stigma and isolation one would face as a creature of myth are daunting prospects, adding a profoundly social fear to the personal terror.

Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the fear of werewolves continues to captivate and terrify people around the world.

Like vampires they don’t take damage from normal weapons , but if the blade or the gun is equipped with silver it is another story. It is known that silver can even burn pieces of flash from the creature’s body.
