Werewolves are nice.

I've seen a few Werewolf movies (all worth mentioning have been mentioned below), and read a few stories (all worth mentioning are ones you have written) so I guess there is not much I can add.

Actually I have a gme on my Xbox which revolves around a monster hunter (The Witcher 3), and there are a few werewolves in that. One contract I was tasked with was exceptional however. A hunter (Niel) tasked me with finding his missing wife, who had recently gone missing in the forest. However, the Hunters sister-in-law (don't remember her name so we will call her Mary) was very adamant that I didn't investigate and bribed me to feed the Hunter false information. I didn't take the bribe however, and found that Niel's wife had been slaughtered by a werewolf. So I tracked the werewolf to a cabin deep in the woods and waited until night so I could slay it.

After I defeated the werewolf, but before I could deliver the killing blow, Mary stopped me. She revealed that the werewolf was Niel and that he would spend nights of his transformation hiding in his cabin to wait out his change without killing anybody. Mary became aware of this and took Niel's wife out to witness the transformation, hoping that she would flee in terror so Mary could then be with Niel. Unfortunately Niel ended up killing his own wife and after his transformation had no recollection of the events.

Upon hearing this revelation, the werewolf stopped fighting and asked me if I would allow him to kill Mary for leading his wife to her death. I let him have his revenge because I have a soft spot in my hert for werewolves, but later that night he approached me again and asked me to kill him out of mercy.

Anyway, that's just one small story in one massive game, but I fucking loved it because it showed the tradgedy and humanity of lycanthropy in a way that is not often shown in other movies and TV shows.
