This is mainly due to the increased strength and healing ability of the werewolf, but some say it is a side effect of the ‘werewolf curse.’ They can live between 130 and 200 (or more) years depending on the type of werewolf. Longer life span: Werewolves generally have a much longer life span than humans. Sense Shifting: Some werewolves have access to their heightened senses while in human form, either naturally or through a process called ‘sense shifting.’ This process takes practice to master but they essentially learn to shift only the inside of their nose or ears. The increased blood flow combined with the overall increased strength of the werewolf body enables it to cure and prevent most chronic illnesses.

This is mainly due to a much faster heart rate and blood flow which causes most bodily activities to happen faster. Healing: Werewolves heal much faster than humans. Like wolves, they tend to be somewhat nearsighted. The werewolf’s sense of sight is its weakest sense. They are able to hear many more frequencies and with greater depth than humans though they rarely use this sense for hunting. It is more than 100 times stronger than a human’s and they can catch scents up to five miles away. The sense of smell is, by far, the werewolf’s strongest sense. Hearing, sight, smell, and taste are all enhanced. Heightened Senses: A werewolf’s senses are one of its greatest assets and weaknesses (see Weaknesses below). Trying to stab them isn’t quite as hard as stabbing a wooden wall, but it’s close. Non-armor piercing bullets generally go no more than an inch into them. Combined with their hardened and dense muscles this makes them very hard to damage. They prefer to rip shreds off of their prey and swallow those whole.ĭurability: Werewolves have very thick hides. Werewolves have no molars (chewing teeth in the back of your mouth) and do very little chewing. These hardened teeth combined with the werewolves enhanced strength allow them to bite through most materials including wood, bone, and most metals. Teeth: When a human changes into a werewolf their teeth will lengthen, sharpen, and harden. This tightening of the tendons is also why werewolves are usually hunched over slightly and rarely extend their arms fully. Their tendons get shorter and tighten which allows for short powerful strikes. When a human turns into a werewolf their muscles harden and elongate. Strength: Werewolves are much stronger than humans. They are able to notice the tiny signs that the body gives off before it strikes or moves, similar to how a boxer will train for years to be able to read their opponent by watching for slight muscle twitches. It is also due to the acute senses of a wolf that all werewolves possess. This is partly due to how fast werewolves can move. Reflexes: Werewolves have incredibly fast reflexes. They are able to travel long distances before tiring and have been reported to travel at speeds of around 60 miles per hour (around 95 kilometers per hour). Speed: One of the greatest strengths of a werewolf is its speed. Werewolves have a vast array of strengths which serve to make it an amazing predator and survivor.
