Werewolf: White Wolf
built 255 days ago
The Werewolf is a human who turns into a fearsome wolf-like creature during the full moon. Werewolves can be distinguished from regular wolves by several characteristics, such as the eyes, shape, and tail. When in human form, werewolves look and act like any normal human being, although usually appear to be ill around nights were there is a full moon. When in wolf form, the werewolf does not keep the mind of the human, and it cannot resist attacking humans; the werewolf may attack their best friends. A werewolf can be killed with silver bullets. When a werewolf dies, it turns back into a human.

Werewolf legends are well known. According to them, many people possessed the power to transform themselves into wolves by putting on a wolf belt. They would then roam about at night attacking their enemies or their enemies' cattle.

The werewolf really made its mark as a cultural and horror icon movie star, with a film debut in the silent The Werewolf in 1913. A few other silents followed. Although the German movie Le Loup Garou became the first nonsilent werewolf film in 1932, the first major werewolf movie came in 1935 with Universal's The Werewolf of London. But it is George Waggoner's 1941 Universal film The Wolf Man starring Lon Chaney Jr. that established the "laws" of lycanthropy in popular thought. The sympathetic monster, death by a silver bullet, aversion to wolfsbane, even the hint of a "baser nature" (translation: "sex") were established with The Wolf Man.

Rage was actually two different collectable card games (or CCGs) based on Werewolf, but with totally different rules. The first version (Rage: Apocalypse) was produced by White Wolf Game Studios and had five sets. The second version (Rage: Tribal War) was produced by Five Rings Publishing Group which became a division of Wizards of the Coast.
