Dodou even uses this to his advantage, pointing out how muscles fibres [[CameBackStrong grow back stronger once they're broken and damaged]], shredding himself with his claws and letting his own healing factor [[GrowingMusclesSequence regrow the muscles back twice as strong]] to turn himself into a super-buff version of his normal form. He notes the only downside is that it makes him incredibly hungry from the energy drain needed to power his healing abilities.

Thus, Hunters instead use the heavier [[AppliedPhlebotinum wolfonium]] in their anti-werewolf weapons.
