Hi i need to ask about information on Loupe Garous i know since Annie said their part of the were-animal family. I am wondering if any of you guys have information on them or can suggest sites with the information on them. Because that will be great for me to understand what their about when i write the novel in January of next year after planning it this year.

Hey, Marie! I did a little research today; it's by no means comprehensive, but it's a start. Some of the things I know that are in traditional European folklore: *The transformation wasn't painful; it could vary from something like putting on a wolf skin to a potion to a pact with the Devil *Werewolves were concious of what they did during their time as a wolf in their human forms; this caused them to be nervous and depressed in their human forms. *Werewolves preyed on recently buried corpses *In France (since you specified Loup-garou), there are apparently two types, loup garous and lubins/lupins. Loup garous are violent and usually male, whereas lubins were female and shy. (I don't know how accurate this is since it's from Wiki) *Also in France, during the 18th century, the Beast of {insert random French village here because I don't recall the name} killed upwards 80 men, women, and children. The attacks didn't stop until wolf-hunters hired by the King Of France went and killed a bunch of giant wolves in the area. *Werewolves usually look like huge wolves WITHOUT tails in their animal forms. They retain their human voices and their eyes Anyway, though it isn't the most 'reliable' source, Wikipedia is a good place to start. I hope that this helped a little!  |

It was the Beast of Gevaudan. There was a book written about it, that talks about attacks dating back to, I believe, the 1700's. It inspired a movie called The Brotherhood of the Wolf, that is well worth a watch if you want to write about the loup garou.

You're very welcome. I just watched it recently and it's pretty good, not your average campy grade B movie.
