The Average Werewolf lives around 1700 years, to 2100 years. The Oldest recorded Werewolf was 2327 years old.
The earliest surviving example of man-to-wolf transformation is found in The Epic of Gilgamesh from around 2,100 BC. However, the werewolf as we now know it first appeared in ancient Greece and Rome, in ethnographic, poetic and philosophical texts.
Ageing happens due to the deterioration of DNA, but werewolves constantly replenish their DNA every time they shift. Obviously, over time this process can wear down (ageing) and eventually stop altogether (dying of old age). For natural-born werewolves, ageing is normal up until 20-25 when it slows dramatically.
They are only immortal as long as they keep transforming into a wolf. Most stop when they imprint so they can age and die with them.
As far as I know, there is no example of werewolves being immortal in folk tradition. They are merely people (usually men) who have the ability to transform into wolves. It appears that originally the belief was that some men had this ability and voluntarily transformed themselves.
At this point, as long as he continues to phase, he remains at that age. It's possible that a werewolf could choose to live this way forever and enjoy the same limited immortality as a vampire, but most Quileute werewolves give up phasing in order to grow old and die alongside their family and friends.
We all know vampires are extremely strong and fast, but werewolves are faster and stronger and they have the advantage of being pack hunters - so rarely hunt alone. To their credit, vampires are extremely agile and this would give them the edge to be able to dodge paintballs travelling at 100mph.
Pregnancy for a female werewolf is shorter than the 9 months a human would normally have. Werewolves grow rapidly in the first few years, so the gestation can be as short as 3 months or sometimes longer depending on how many babies the female is carrying.
Members of the Quileute wolf-pack do age if they do not phase for a long time; Jacob's body has physically grown to the equivalent of a 25-year-old in Breaking Dawn but stops aging after that. Jacob is the largest and strongest of the pack.
Like vampires, werewolves cannot survive in the sunlight, although the older they get the easier it is to be outside during the day (well covered). Younger werewolves are especially vulnerable to it and can die from overexposure.
The Average Werewolf lives around 1700 years, to 2100 years. The Oldest recorded Werewolf was 2327 years old.
Werewolves are often depicted as immune to damage caused by ordinary weapons, being vulnerable only to silver objects, such as a silver-tipped cane, bullet or blade; this attribute was first adopted cinematically in The Wolf Man.
As cathemeral beings, werewolves have developed circadian cycle mechanisms that allow them to cope with switching sleep cycles to allow them to be active both during the day and night. They also can forgo sleep for up to 3 days with little effect on their systems, though most will sleep 6 to 8 hours on a daily basis.
sucker!…” etc, highly violence but addictive, it's so inappropriate for kids under 12 to watch.
Early Werewolf Legends
Some scholars believe the werewolf made its debut in The Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest known Western prose, when Gilgamesh jilted a potential lover because she had turned her previous mate into a wolf. Werewolves made another early appearance in Greek mythology with the Legend of Lycaon.
According to the legend, Lycaon, the son of Pelasgus, angered the god Zeus when he served him a meal made from the remains of a sacrificed boy. As punishment, the enraged Zeus turned Lycaon and his sons into wolves.
Vampire Stages
Vampires are immortal and live a life without end and, if given the chance, can survive for millions of years or more. It is known that a vampire grows stronger as they age.
It is implied that Renesmee's growth will slow down until it ceases at the age of seven, by which she will have the appearance of a young woman. She may be able to live for centuries minimum, if not more.
According to the bible, Jacob lived for 147 years.
They cannot have another mate-you only get one in life. Yes, very sad. It is possible to replace a mark on a female werewolf. It only works if a male werewolf that is not her mate bites over the mark and then mates with her right after.
In Glabro form, the near human form, a werewolf would be up to 7.5 feet tall and 400lbs. In Hispo form, the dire wolf form, you're 4-6 feet tall (at the shoulder) and up to 800lbs.
Mating Seasons
For the females and male omegas, they go into heat once a month, desiring to breed with any unmated male they can find. Alphas end up going into heat once a month during the winter months of the year and only after they have met their mate.
The Primordial werewolves are the second werewolves, as such are the most feared and most powerful of all in existence.
Werewolves are, in fact, human for much of their life. Their diet is like humans in contrast with vampires, who drink blood.
Technically speaking, berserkers are physically stronger than creatures like werewolves but that physical strength is the only advantage they have. They're largely mindless soldiers by the time their animal instincts take over.
