Metamorphose is a very interesting thing and many native believing and stories are the tales about creatures, what are able to change their shape as an animal. The idea that some person could change it's shaped between human and animal is very fascinating.  Also in Finnish national book Kalevala the bad creature, Louhi (1) could change her creature as a giant eagle. The creature is similar to the native American Indian stories about Skin-walkers (2), the witches, what can take animals form. And there are some other tales about creatures, what change as the animals when they want to do that.


The most well-known characters are of course werewolves and naguals (3) . The last one is some kind of werewolf, but it normally takes the form of a coyote, puma or wolf, and this connects it to the creature of the werewolf. When we are thinking about this very well known the character of horror tales and movies, we would forget one very good explanation for that beast, what has the shape of the man. The origin of those creatures might be men, who wear the wolf skins as clothes, and that's why those men were called as "werewolves".


The stories about those monsters might be meant first some professional soldiers, who would try to be like normal people, but when somebody tried to hurt them, they would use their combat skills. Maybe the origin of this mythical creature is Vikings, who might be ordinary traders, but when the people, who had expensive clothes or equipment came, those traders took the form of warriors and started to rob the village.


In some German mythologies, werewolves were creatures, what defended the people against evilness, but this is not the very common thing to write about that creature. The common way to talk about the werewolves is that they wanted blood and flesh of innocent people, and that's why they were evil creatures, what fate was the silver bullet.

Thoughts about the werewolves in visual angle of fiction, literature, and investigations

When we are thinking about the werewolves, the mythical creatures, what are normally the ordinary people but in the time of full moon, they would transfer as the demons, what are hungry for blood and killing. The reason for the myth might be that if some men are playing nice men, but when they get tired, they would lose their concentration, and then those persons would show who they really are when they slip something from their mouth. There are many explanations for those creatures like they are some bandits, who wear the skins of the wolfs.


The most modern explanation is those creatures are xenomorphs, what can change their form because of two line DNA, but this is only humorous claiming, what is based on TV-series. Some philosophers ask: what the government might do with creatures, what can be destroyed by light? Here we must give the answer that those creatures could be very useful in so-called ”dark operations”. Those vampires might make their job, and then they can be destroyed by sunlight. That would make very easy to hide those operations. But this is only imagination.


When we are talking about the very unusual psychiatric disorder called ”side personality”, we might write a good novel about the special forces operator, who is the normal man in normal life. But this man's side personality might use in ”dark operations”. So this might be interested in some military leaders. In this book might be a fictional character, what has the synthetic side personality, and the military operators would use this character in covert operations, and that novel might become new ”Bourne identity”.


If some specialists can create the voice or light effect, what would cause the transforming the other personality, they might get ”perfect operator”, for covert operations. The person who has side personality might also be the origin of the mythical werewolves. But if we think one of the most well-known replies in one of the movies, what are told about this creature, we must ask ”were you clever?”.


In this reply is meant that when the great deluge began, the werewolves kicked off from the Noah's ark. And now I must consider, that this kind of thing was not very clever if we think those slayings, what those I hope fictional characters have done, that kicking off the ark was not the very nice thing. That caused the hate, what continued in the shape of many bloody and violent movies.
