In many ways, the legends of [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolves]] and [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]] spring from similar sources, but recently popular fiction has fleshed them out, made them into ''species'', and gave them cultural traits.

** This trope has been excised from the "new" ''World of Darkness'' (''Vampire: The Requiem'' & ''Werewolf: The Forsaken''). Whether vampires and werewolves fight against each other or work together is wholly dependent on their personal choices, although the standard seems to be that they are content to stay away from each other out of mutual fear of the unknown. In mixed groups, InterspeciesRomance is usually the first thing that happens, OrSoIHeard.

As a whole, this trope might be NewerThanTheyThink. In much legends and folklore that mentions both vampires and werewolves the two are not only not antagonistic they are often ''connected'', with various beliefs than an improperly disposed off werewolf would actually come back as a vampire.

And yes, we know werewolves have fangs too. We just like the [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal alliteration]]. Plus, like how you don't think "zebra" when you hear hoofbeats, you don't think "werewolf" when you hear "fang". But on to the examples...

** It is thus ironic that in both versions of TheWorldOfDarkness (although especially the earlier one), getting a Vampire and Werewolf to team up could be amazingly effective. Werewolves, with their sturdy constitutions and HealingFactor, could function as walking blood banks for the Vamps, as well as safeguard their lairs during the day- while Vampires had a lot of blood-fueled magical or semi-magical abilities that could make them temporarily (or situationally, if you need to use something other than the Wolves' brute force) more powerful. Which is not to mention the fact that in the first version, at least, drinking Werewolf blood would supercharge Vamps, making it even more of an exploit.

* Since it has roots as a fan-made expansion of the WorldOfDarkness above, ''TechInfantry'' of course carries over the hatred between Vampires and Werewolves. Once the EarthFederation was established, all werecreatures (wolves, tigers, rhinos, etc.) are drafted into the titular Tech Infantry SpaceMarines to fight the alien [[BugWar Arachnids]]. Since the bugs threaten them too, the Vampire Kingdom of Enoch sends occasional ghouls and low-level vampires to join the Tech Infantry, and they do work together surprisingly well. But for the most part, Vampires are hated and hunted throughout the Earth Federation and later the Middle Kingdom.

* JMichaelStraczynski wrote an episode of ''TheRealGhostbusters'', "No One Comes To Lupusville" ([[{{House}} They never come to Lupusville]]), that had warring clans of vampires and werewolves. (The resulting fracas had the Ghostbusters running for the hills.)
** The resulting battle was a huge fray where werewolves turned into vampires and visa versa. Each bite would cause the monsters to rapidly grow/shed fur/bat wings. Which was precisely WHY the Ghostbusters ran for the hills rather than duke it out ("Peter, so what happens when a vampire bites a werewolf and a werewolf bites a vampire...?") and destroy the only bridge out of town on the way, imprisoning the were-vamps (as anything vampiric could not cross running water.)
* Of course, the example that catapulted this concept into recent memory would be the original version of TheWorldOfDarkness, where werewolves and vampires ''hate'' each other. Later versions downplayed the CrossOver aspect of this, but this is what stood out. The reason for the original hatred was because werewolves saw vampires as agents of their sworn enemy, the Wyrm (a CosmicHorror bent towards eternal suffering and decay) -- and since most of the vampires in the setting see killing as "just another thing" after a while, they're not entirely wrong. However, their tendency to strike at vampires regardless of how corrupt they are drives it into dickery.
**One should understand that (most of) the werewolves have KnightTemplar tendencies, and tend to think with their claws. Their backstory has them doing regular genetic weeding among humans, as well as committing genocide against every other shapeshifter race, as well as their own Australian tribe, driven by the werewolves' own brand of ''Manifest Destiny''. (While yet another werewolf tribe, the Black Spiral Dancers, actually became tainted and joined the enemy, a.k.a. the Wyrm.) The primary way in which vampires differ is that the wolves haven't ''succeeded'' at wiping them out.
***Should be noted that the Austrailian tribe was wiped out because the Black Spiral Dancers manipulated the werewolf tendancy to shred first, ask questions later, specifically to get the "good" werewolves to commit the unthinkable crime of wiping out a tribe.
**On the other hand, one should also understand that werewolves can mystically sense Wyrm-taint, and 90%+ of vampires do indeed have such taint. Vampires are also the powers behind the scene for many atrocities committed throughout history, such as the sack of near-utopian Carthage by the Romans mostly out of spite, and dating back to the [[CainAndAbel Cain and Abel]]. Vampires tend to become Chessmasters, and have to be thoroughly ruthless or they won't survive for a century.
***However, Wyrm Taint isn't like evil, just because you have some doesn't mean you're of the wyrm, it may merely mean you hang out in/with the wrong places/people.
**Also ''everyone'' hates vampires in TheWorldOfDarkness, at least in the old one. The only supernatural factions whose default policy isn't "kill on sight" in Revised edition is those who have very little to no contact with them. That's because vampires generally range from power-mongering, treacherous {{Manipulative Bastard}}s to depraved psychopaths and every faction with any clue in metaphysics (mages that care, werewolves, changelings, demons) has their own reasons to perceive their very existence as an affront. Werewolf/vampire conflict is simply the most famous as the first and the most fierce.
***The official fiction has a demon being very curious about a vampire and his supposed link to Cain. Demons have been locked away for millenia, and so aren't exactly up on the current metaphysicals.
** It is thus ironic that in both versions of TheWorldOfDarkness (although especially the earlier one), getting a Vampire and Werewolf to team up could be amazingly effective. Werewolves, with their sturdy constitutions and HealingFactor, could function as walking blood banks for the Vamps, as well as safeguard their lairs during the day- while Vampires had a lot of blood-fueled magical or semi-magical abilities that could make them temporarily (or situationally, if you need to use something other than the Wolves' brute force) more powerful. Which is not to mention the fact that in the first version, at least, drinking Werewolf blood would supercharge Vamps, making it even more of an exploit.
*** The latter edition keeps some of this. Werewolf blood is far richer and more potent than human blood, reducing the amount that needs to be taken in a feeding. It also adds a downside - werewolf blood brings out the "beast" in the vampire, making them much more likely to succumb to murderous rage when offended or hungry. Similarly, mages can learn powerful healing spells... but mage blood is hallucinogenic, driving the imbiber a little bit insane.
***But even then, Werewolves needing hocus-pocus would most likely turn to a theurge (a Werewolf who first changed under the crescent moon), especially one from the more mystical [[{{Splat}} tribes]], or even a ''human'' [[MageTheAscension Mage/Sorcerer]] before getting in bed with a Vampire. The same way most Kindred would sooner call a Vampire with Fortitude if they need extra muscle. You're more likely to get cooperation between clans and tribes that share the same goals like the Tremere and Uktena (magic), or the Ventrue and Glass Walkers (business), and the splatbooks often speak of such alliances.
**One of the first 'Sixth Rank' gifts to appear in Werewolf had no purpose but to destroy Vampires, and could do so instantly and irrevocably. It was removed from later editions where it became standard for every tribe and some auspices to have an exemplar Sixth Rank power.
**This trope has been excised from the "new" ''World of Darkness'' (''Vampire: The Requiem'' & ''Werewolf: The Forsaken''). Whether Vampires and Werewolves fight against each other or work together is wholly dependent on their personal choices, although the standard seems to be that they are content to stay away from each other out of mutual fear of the unknown. In mixed groups, InterspeciesRomance is usually the first thing that happens, OrSoIHeard.
*** One of the first books in the ''WerewolfTheForsaken'' line, ''Hunting Grounds: the Rockies'', parodies the trope with Black Moon [[XtremeKoolLetterz Extreme]], a pack of young cubs who decide the best way to aid Denver is to hunt down vampires and look cool while doing it. While some pack members have good reason to have vampires -- and Denver has had a bad history with the bloodsuckers -- the pack's alpha is basically just doing it for an ego trip, and a lot of the other packs think they're posers who are going to do something hideously stupid one day.
** The finalized edition of fan-made expansion ''GeniusTheTransgression'' has a take on each of the above with a MadScientist faction; Geniuses and vampires actually get along pretty well (fittingly), though Genius blood is no different from mortal blood (how [[WeirdScience Wonders]] can help a vampire is another story entirely...). Also fitting, Geniuses and werewolves don't get along at all, but the interaction between [[MagicVersusScience Geniuses and Mages]] is... interesting. The main [[AncientConspiracy Ancient Conspiracies]] of the two groups actually seem to be ''incapable'' of noticing each other.
* In the book series ''[[TheDarkHunters Dark Hunters]]'', the [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Were Hunters]] and the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Dark Hunters]] tolerate each other. But just barely.
* Since it has roots as a fan-made expansion of the WorldOfDarkness above, ''TechInfantry'' of course carries over the hatred between Vampires and Werewolves. Once the EarthFederation was established, all werecreatures (wolves, tigers, rhinos, etc.) are drafted into the titular Tech Infantry SpaceMarines to fight the alien [[BugWar Arachnids]]. Since the bugs threaten them too, the Vampire Kingdom of Enoch sends occasional ghouls and low-level vampires to join the Tech Infantry, and they do work together surprisingly well. But for the most part, Vampires are hated and hunted throughout the Earth Federation and later the Middle Kingdom.
* The ''[[AnitaBlakeVampireHunter Anita Blake]]'' novels. Generally the vampires in this universe view shapeshifters as animals, or at best moderately useful tools. Jean-Claude is very rare among vampires in that he has alliances with many of the local were-groups. This is so unusual that he says at one point other vampires with an eye toward conquering his territory will think him weaker than he is because they won't view as relevant any weregroups other than his "animal to call". (Animal with which he has magical affinity- in Jean-Claude's case this is wolves and werewolves). Then again you can't entirely blame them for thinking that, since different were-animal groups usually can't even get along with ''each other'', much less anybody else.

* JMichaelStraczynski wrote an episode of ''TheRealGhostbusters'', "No One Comes To Lupusville" ([[{{House}} They never come to Lupusville]]), that had warring clans of vampires and werewolves. (The resulting fracas had the Ghostbusters running for the hills.)
** The resulting battle was a huge fray where werewolves turned into vampires and visa versa. Each bite would cause the monsters to rapidly grow/shed fur/bat wings. Which was precisely WHY the Ghostbusters ran for the hills rather than duke it out ("Peter, so what happens when a vampire bites a werewolf and a werewolf bites a vampire...?") and destroy the only bridge out of town on the way, imprisoning the were-vamps (as anything vampiric could not cross running water.)

Also fitting, Geniuses and werewolves don't get along at all, but the interaction between [[MagicVersusScience Geniuses and Mages]] is... interesting. The main [[AncientConspiracy Ancient Conspiracies]] of the two groups actually seem to be ''incapable'' of noticing each other.
* Since it has roots as a fan-made expansion of the WorldOfDarkness above, ''TechInfantry'' of course carries over the hatred between Vampires and Werewolves. Once the EarthFederation was established, all werecreatures (wolves, tigers, rhinos, etc.) are drafted into the titular Tech Infantry SpaceMarines to fight the alien [[BugWar Arachnids]]. Since the bugs threaten them too, the Vampire Kingdom of Enoch sends occasional ghouls and low-level vampires to join the Tech Infantry, and they do work together surprisingly well. But for the most part, Vampires are hated and hunted throughout the Earth Federation and later the Middle Kingdom.
* In the old Basic/Expert/etc D&D system, powerful vampires could use their ability to control wolves, rats, and bats to control ''their lycanthropic equivalents'' as well. Not surprisingly, this made the not-yet-controlled werewolves, wererats and werebats extremely leery of vampires, though they weren't openly at war with them.

* The online game ''AdventureQuest'' borrows much from the ''Underworld'' movies, and the Vampire/Werewolf conflict consumes most of the HammerHorror section known as Darkovia.
** And ''then'' there are the [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Werepyres]].
** And '''then''' they added [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot DRACOpyres]]. In case that didn't make sense, it's vampire, werewolf, and DRAGON.
** Darkovia in ''AdventureQuestWorlds'' was locked in a conflict between the Vampires led by their queen Safiria and the Lycans led by the Werewolf King (the title of which changed hands when the player arrived!). The player was sent there in order to get support for both sides against the Chaos Lord Wolfwing, a Werepyre who has been chaorrupted by the game's BigBad Drakath, who created an army of werepyres and chaorrupted certain werewolves and vampires and sent them against their respective opposing faction, culminating in having a dragon captured and turning it into a Dracowerepyre, the Chaos Beast of that particular saga. There was even a war that went down where the players threw in with either the Vampires or the Lycans and tried to beat the other faction to 100%. [[spoiler:The Lycans won the war]].
* The X-Box 360 game ''OperationDarkness'' has Werewolf Allies fighting Vampire-aided Hitler and his {{Ghostapo}}.
** Which is kind of ironic, since in real life the Nazis had a division called the "Werewolves" (not actually shapeshifters, [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy as far as we know]]).
** Especially ironic because the Brits had (have?) an Vampire Squadron, who were pretty heavily decorated in WW2.
* In the game ''[[FatalHearts Fatal Hearts]]'', the vampires and the werewolves each think the others are soulless murderers who must be destroyed at all costs, and woe to anyone who gets in their way.
* [[http://www.bitefight.org/ BiteFight]] Game Forge's browser-based RPG is just that.

* The KingsQuest 2 FanRemake uses this to great effect. In the original game, the monk gives you a key to the vampire's castle, you trick your way into the castle, stake the vampire, and grab the key. The remake version subverts the hell out of it. The "friendly" monk at the local church [[spoiler: is leader of a werewolf pack that has been mercilessly hunting down the ruler's family. In fact, THEY were the ones responsible for turning the count of Kolyma into a vampire in the first place]]. It also turns out that [[spoiler: the grandma and LittleRedRidingHood expies are the Countess and the Count's granddaughter]], forced to flee for their lives due to the persecution.
