I have a question.

I wasn't being serious Sabata the only wolves I believe in, live in the wild and are just that a wild wolf.

Personally I think the lycan association comes from the word "lycanthropy" generically used to explain transformation from human into animal form also know as "therianthropy"

And clinical lycanthropy which is the delusion that you can actually change from human to animal form.

There's also another myth that the word is related to King Lycaon of Arcadia(Greek Mythology)

Love and Light
