General clarification on work content- made it more up to date, as female werewolves are prominent in both Ginger snaps and Wolfwalkers

** ''Heredity'': Some werewolves are simply born that way to begin with: They either belong to a distinct species, or lycanthropy is a genetic condition (or hereditary curse) that was passed down through their family line, often manifesting around the DangerousSixteenthBirthday (give or take a few years). In SpeculativeFiction, the werewolf is often neither really wolf nor man, but a distinct species with an innate ability to shapeshift.

** ''WolfMan'': In [[TheForties '40s]] horror films, the transformation usually took the form of a [[BeastMan hairy humanoid]] with a scattering of animal features, such as pointed ears, fangs, claws, and maybe a more canine nose or even a tail, but otherwise remaining almost entirely human, like LittleBitBeastly (The "classic" Wolf Man appearance is not entirely dissimilar to the symptoms of a rare genetic disorder, hypertrichosis.) This commonly leads to ClothingDamage, and often seen wearing MagicPants. May be used as a GameFace to intimidate, or a PartialTransformation between full man and full wolf.

* ''{{Metamorphosis}}'': In some cases, such as ''Film/{{Wolf}}'' and ''Film/GingerSnaps'', the transformation may be a singular, one-way process that ends with the afflicted individual transformed into a wolf forever. Often characterized by gradual changes, such as more assertive and aggressive behavior, unusual hair growth and, usually in later stages, an urge to kill, that occur over the course of a specific timespan, such as a singular lunar cycle. The oldest progenitors of the werewolf myth, from classical Greece and Rome, all fall in this category -- rather than being shapeshifters, their subjects are wicked humans turned into wolves as punishment by the gods.
