About This Quiz

Werewolves are portrayed in ancient folklore as a hybrid of a human and a fierce wolf. Such creatures typically display aggressive personality traits, as well as attributes like anger, resilience, strength and bravery. If you resonate with some of these, then you might turn into a werewolf during the late night hours!

When a human being transforms into a wolf, the process can be quite painful to endure. But luckily, this only takes a few minutes or less, and we're not just talking about the outward physical transformation, either. The personality of this creature may change from who they just were as a human, and sometimes their memories are temporarily erased. Fortunately, they gain back these memories when they turn back into a human, but some people can't remember what it's like to be a werewolf.

Werewolves are also portrayed as gigantic creatures who have sharp fangs, dark fur, and a physically strong and muscular appearance. This is depicted in several movies, TV shows and books, as werewolves are a very popular mythical creature in classic storytelling. So whether or not you think you're a werewolf on the inside, this magical quiz will determine what your ferocious name should be!
