wolfmen

Lunar transformation monsters

Wolfmen is the plural of wolfman, a creature from folklore and horror fiction that is part human and part wolf.

The term typically refers to werewolves—humans who transform into wolves or wolf-like beasts, often during a full moon.

Unlike the more clinical werewolf, wolfmen emphasizes the hybrid nature of such creatures, suggesting a permanent or semi-permanent state rather than periodic transformation.

The old film featured wolfmen stalking through fog-shrouded forests.
