Human Form:
A werewolf is most vulnerable when in its human form. It still has its werewolf powers, but they are greatly diminished. A werewolf in human form operates just like any other human. Newly infected werewolves may not even know they're infected until their first change. Some humans that have been affected still try to live normal lives, which isn't too difficult. But most join a pack.
Transformation:
When a werewolf transforms, they turn into an enormous supernatural creature. These werewolves are usually two to three times the size of an average human man. Physically, they are very muscular and range from 7 to 9 feet in height. A true version of this creature would look like a man-wolf combination with thick animal fur covering most if its massive body. The fur color and texture range from shades of brown, gray, blond and even pure white. Werewolves would be classified as carnivores (meat eaters). Not sure that there are too many vegetarian werewolves due to their predatory nature and animal metabolism.
Abilities:
Werewolves are extremely powerful and have remarkable fighting / killing abilities with excellent agility and endurance. The most dangerous attacks from a werewolf will come directly from the fangs and claws. Werewolves savagely attack with a feral insanity - this type of wild rage was also seen in human warriors like the Norse berserkers.
Regeneration & Life Span:
Legends indicate that werewolves have special regenerative abilities, which let them heal very quickly from even the most severe wounds. This rapid healing ability also seems to have a slowing effect on the ageing process of the werewolf. A full-grown werewolf will not age as fast as a normal human being. A werewolf can die from old age, but that could equal several human lifetimes.
Advanced Senses:
Legends state that the werewolf has enhanced senses. A werewolf can see very well in the dark to a point where it seems that they have a type of infra-vision allowing them to see and focus in total darkness. Like most animals werewolves have an advance sense of smell. A werewolf can quickly track a target for miles based on a minor scent. The same goes for hearing. A werewolf has exceptional hearing abilities. Basically, it is near impossible to hide from a werewolf - if they want to find you then you are found. The advanced senses may also be in effect when the werewolf is in human form.
How to Kill:
Despite the great abilities of a werewolf they are not completely impervious to injury or death. Werewolves do have weaknesses. Werewolves seem to be "allergic" to pure silver. Any weapon made of silver will inflict serious damage to a werewolf and can even kill it. Removing the werewolf's head or heart will also stop a werewolf. The werewolf will regenerate almost any other types of superficial flesh wounds.
