En el folclore, un hombre lobo, o ocasionalmente licántropo, es un individuo que puede transformarse en un lobo o en una criatura híbrida teriantropica lobo-humanoide, ya sea de forma voluntaria o involuntaria debido a una maldición u otra aflicción. En la ficción moderna, especialmente en el cine, las transformaciones a menudo se representan como activadas por la luna llena y transmitidas por una mordida o un arañazo de otro hombre lobo. Las fuentes tempranas de la creencia en esta habilidad o aflicción, llamada licantropía, son Petronius (27–66) y Gervase of Tilbury (1150–1228).

“The silhouette was named for Etienne de Silhouette, the notoriously stingy finance minister for Louis XV, who ironically was himself incapable of casting a shadow, due to lycanthropy.”
“I'm going to repay you for betraying me; I'm going to give that brain of yours a new home in the skull of the Frankenstein monster. As for you Strauss, I'm going to give you the brain of the wolfman so that all your waking hours will be spent in untold agony awaiting the full of the moon... which will change you into a werewolf.”
