In fact, it is not only Europe that has werewolf legends. In the ancient legends of the American Indians, some wizards also have the ability to "transform". They can adapt to changes in the environment, or the needs of the situation, or to avoid enemies, Tracking wild beasts, they transform themselves into wolves, bears, eagles and other animals. After transformation, the wizard not only has the abilities of these animals, but also retains human consciousness.

What is different from Europe is that the wizard who turned into a wolf was regarded by the tribal people as a hero with powerful magic. Of course, if he was unfortunate enough to arrive in Europe at that time, he would definitely be charged with being a barbarian, a heretic and a devil. Disaster is coming.

Different legends and similar characters did not produce harmonious products, because later civilized Europeans conquered the Americas with the most barbaric means, and the Indian civilization was largely wiped out.

As the West grew stronger over the next several hundred years, the bloody legend of the European version of werewolves eventually spread throughout the world.

Most of the werewolf images we hear and see today come from Hollywood in the United States. Although werewolves are native to Europe, it is American comics, movies and television works that promote them.

The well-known perverted superman who likes to wear his underwear outside was born in the first issue of Aics magazine in 1938, and the protagonist of this article was born in the 1974th issue of Hulk magazine in October 10.

However, after all, the influence of comics is not as great as that of movies. An American Werewolf, filmed in London in 1981, was a great success as a light comedy that described the horror theme of werewolves in a ridiculing tone.

It is worth mentioning that the director of this film, John Landis, later filmed Innocent Blood, which is a story about "French Vampires in America".

The film industry is a big business system that requires various types of movies. Since then, werewolves have become the darling of Hollywood, and a series of werewolf-themed films have emerged one after another.

Although the new Hollywood film "Werewolf" is a low-cost B-level film, it successfully relies on the old-fashioned plot of werewolf killing to create a tense atmosphere with tight rhythm and exciting scenes, keeping the audience's nerves on edge at all times.

There is no doubt that the protagonist of the film is a ferocious human wolf. Movie makers love to cook old things, even if it is a bowl of leftovers from ancient Rome.

Werewolves, with their reputation for being extremely vicious, play the villain in many movies and TV shows.

Werewolves even appear in the famous science fiction TV series The X-Files, but this time it's an Indian werewolf causing trouble in front of FBI agents Mulder and Scully. To the point where you’re not mentally ready to understand something.”

To be honest, I was not mentally prepared to see werewolves appear in a science fiction TV series, but later on, when monsters, vampires, etc. appeared one after another, I got used to it.

Hollywood screenwriters may be half mediocre, but they understand popular needs.

For example, in the new film Amazing Beasts, the traditional monsters that guard the resort are interpreted as genetic mutants of crocodiles, so the old-fashioned monster film has transformed into a cutting-edge science fiction film.

This is not only true for science fiction films, but also classical plots can be adapted at will. For example, what will happen when Romeo meets Juliet?

In the fantasy movie Underworld, which will be released in September 2003, Romeo is a werewolf and Juliet is a brave and capable vampire warrior.

Even the famous Michael Jackson made his own "Werewolf" movie: This movie is called Wolfed. It tells the story of a shoemaker's son who was insulted by a nobleman in the 17th century. In order to retaliate, he made a contract with the devil and turned him into a "werewolf". The story of the werewolf.

In addition, werewolves also appear in the Harry Potter series of movies and novels that are popular around the world. One is Harry's third-year Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Remus Lupine, Harry's father's lifelong friend; the other is Fenry. Greyback.

However, the two can be said to be two extremes of werewolves. Lupine drank a magic potion on a full moon night in order not to hurt anyone, so that he could transform himself quietly and spend the night, but Fenrir would not do it even when the moon was full. Choosing to suck blood and kill is extremely cruel.

But the most touching werewolf film to date is The Wolfman, filmed in 1941.

British young man Larry was bitten by a werewolf while rescuing people. Soon after, he turned into a werewolf and began to attack his friends and even the girls he admired. When he was awake, he tried in vain to stop himself from killing people. He told his relatives and friends , even went to the police station to surrender, but no one believed that he was a werewolf, and he became recognized as a madman.

So whenever the full moon shines high, people are afraid of the terrible perverted killer, and the werewolves also start a new round of uncontrolled massacre without mercy.

Caught between good and evil, Larry suffered a lot. Because of the strong vitality of the werewolf, he could not even commit suicide.

Finally at a garden party, Larry turned into a werewolf again, this time its target was Larry's sweetheart.

Just as the werewolf tackled the girl, Larry's father killed his son with a silver cane.

When the film ends, a gypsy soothsayer, Mariva, squeezes through the crowd to offer a final prayer to the dying werewolf, declaring that his suffering is over.

According to records at the time, all the audiences in the cinema sighed and shed tears for Larry's misfortune.

In the field of games, although werewolves still perform from time to time, unfortunately most of them come and go as vampire minions. In some stand-alone or online RPG games, werewolves can often be seen as one of the monster soldiers. The molecule plays a small role.

The only games with werewolves as protagonists are probably the Werewolf Hunting series and Myth III: Werewolf Century. On the other hand, its old friend vampire is really famous. There are as many games with vampires as protagonists as there are crucian carp crossing the river.

Maybe in the eyes of European and American game manufacturers, vampires are more mysterious and unpredictable than werewolves.

Being a villain often requires "versatile talents". For example, a vampire can kill a human life neatly. When encountering a strong enemy, he can also use magic to turn into a bat and escape, or even disappear into a mist.

In comparison, werewolves seem to be able to do some "strength work", but they are completely incompetent when it comes to magic, so they are always not favored by game manufacturers.

If a manufacturer really wants to take the risk of making a game with a werewolf as the protagonist, the first scene must be in the dark night, or in a dark and humid underground cave. As a werewolf warrior with sharp teeth, claws and a heart to kill, It must also be able to create a bloody and exciting game scene.

Will any players appreciate it?
