And they are very popular within the Furry Fandom, usually of the more-in-control-while-transformed variety, and their depictions therein can range from the innocent to outright Yiff. 2010 also saw a highly-publicized remake of The Wolfman, although this depiction is much more traditional than the above. Recent works of note include the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, Jennifer Lynn Barnes' Raised by Wolves trilogy, and the Mercy Thompson and Kitty Norville books. In fact, one can take it further considering with the proper circumstances and disposition with the being in sufficiently rational control, werewolves can be sexy or even cuddly.Īs such, the werewolf's cachet has been rising. Then again, with the growing knowledge that North American wolves have been seriously misunderstood and are not that aggressive to humans while being devoted parents thanks to classic works like Never Cry Wolf, that lends itself to a serious image makeover as potentially heroic monsters. Surprisingly, such an earlier revisionist treatment happened in medieval times for fictitious werewolves in the Chivalric Romance, a werewolf could be a perfectly gentle and noble beast. Hence, they're often relegated to supporting roles in Fur Against Fang storylines and Fantasy Kitchen Sink settings.
And in most common depictions, werewolves aren't exactly sapient in wolf form. While having your neck bitten by beautiful people is erotic, being torn into bloody chunks and eaten is not. Werewolves did not receive the same revisionist treatment as vampires did during the '90s, partly due to the high probability of Special Effect Failure in visual media, but also because the concept is much more difficult to rehabilitate.
