Werewolves: Don’t wait for the full moon to take this undead quiz!

Along with vampires, skeletons, zombies or mummies, werewolves are certainly the most fascinating creatures in fantasy cinema.

If you’ve got teeth and aren’t afraid to go out on a full moon, let yourself be tempted by this quiz to test your knowledge of lycanthropes on the big screen!

The figure of the lycanthrope, better known in France as the werewolf, in mythology, legends and folklore mainly from European civilization is a person who has the ability to transform into a wolf.

This metamorphosis can be caused by a number of reasons, such as a curse, a ritual, a bite or scratch from a wolf or other lycanthrope. It usually occurs at night and every full moon, condemning the victim to wander as a wolf until morning.

Stories of lycanthropes have been mentioned since Greek mythology and gradually spread to many countries of the world.

Lycanthropes are generally depicted as evil creatures possessing both wolf and human abilities. They are endowed with superhuman strength and are extremely fierce.

Note that apart from surgery and the use of disguise, men cannot be physically transformed into wolves. However, many people, including scientists, have believed in it for centuries.

Moreover, this belief sometimes persists. Lycanthropy is now scientifically recognized as a symptom of a mental illness in which a person believes that he has turned into a wolf, then we talk about clinical lycanthropy.
