What is the most amazing fact about werewolves, do you know? Are werewolves members of the immortal living dead beings?

Werewolves possess great physical attributes, and immortality is one of them unless wolf-hunters kill a werewolf.

The involuntary transformation of a werewolf from its human form to the wolf form usually occurred on a full moon night. While in wolf form, a werewolf is technically considered an immortal being, unlike when in the human form.

Moreover, the original and rare royal Lycan werewolves, unlike the common werewolves, partake in the eternal life gift either in their humanoid or wolf form.

This is because the cells of the original royal Lycan werewolves are believed to contain a supernatural power in their DNA which is responsible for their immortality.

Typically, a living dead entity whose cells contain DNA of another higher dimensional beings partakes in the gift of immortality, which makes the royal Lycan werewolves immortal.

Do Werewolves Age?

Although the aging process of werewolves is quite slower, that doesn't mean it won't happen. An amazing fact about werewolf aging is that they can regain their aging process to become immortal beings.

According to a trusted source, when a werewolf first transforms, their aging process accelerates until they attain maturity, i.e., 25 years of age.

After this age, if a werewolf continues phasing, he can live at that age until he reaches his limited immortality age, just like vampires.

However, most werewolves opt to continue aging to die at ripe age together with their friends and relatives. The aging process accelerates once the werewolf abandons phasing.

Can a werewolf die by giving up phasing?

Yes! During the full moon, a werewolf transforms from its human form to its true wolf form, a process known as phasing.

This process helps the werewolf to gain supernatural powers so that he becomes an immoral being. It is believed that giving up phasing can harm a werewolf's ability to regenerate, thus facilitating aging.

Besides, when in the human form, the common werewolves usually have their higher dimensional DNA not fully activated, making them vulnerable to mortality elements such as aging, although their aging process is relatively slower than that of ordinary human beings.

During transformation, every werewolf undergoes a certain percentage of cellular regeneration, and this is what makes werewolves immortal while in their wolf form.

However, while in their human nature, werewolves possess some superhuman traits such as supernatural strength, senses, agility, and speed.

Lifespan

Even the luckiest human beings, just like my grandfather, do not live over 120, all factors remaining constant, i.e., free from diseases, accidents, or life-threatening factors.

On average, an ordinary human being will live for 80 years which is quite a long life. In contrast, a werewolf can kick for over 200 years unless when killed.

One of the well-known werewolves is recorded to be 251 years and still kicking, and this isn't through any form of magical interference.

 In some parts, a pack of werewolves has been reported to reside around some dark-power worshiping centers since this would protect their eternity.

Such werewolf packs are reported to have lived thousands of years on Earth. Remember, the more a werewolf ages, the more power it gains, and this is why these werewolves are known to be among the most creatures on Earth.

However, some werewolves are said to have died in their human form due to old age or natural causes like during the transmutation phase.

Are Werewolves Immortal? It is believed that a werewolf that stays in its werewolf form to keep its conscious senses active is immune to mortality hence can live forever.

Once a werewolf dies in its human nature, it has no chance of returning but to find happiness in its afterlife.

If a werewolf dies while in its wolf form, it can be brought back to life by a higher dimensional being through magical powers. 

How Long Do Werewolves Live?

For your information, a werewolf is a former human being infected through a bite by the main Werewolf or their transitional victims.

Unlike the Lycan werewolves, the secondary bleed of werewolves, the main type is extremely infections, dangerous and savage beasts with no form of intelligence.

Several original werewolf bleeds have been said to survive more than 800 years while in custody without taking water and food, for your information. 

They, too, have a great sense of smell, sight, and hearing ability that is far much efficient and accurate than the ordinary wolves.

For that very reason, a werewolf can sense an approaching vampire for preparation against a possible attack. Leave alone their enhanced sense; werewolves possess durability, physical strength, and superior speed than vampires.

Solid concrete walls do not limit werewolves as they can break through effortlessly. A typical first-generation werewolf can easily beat a flying vampire even when not fully transformed into a wolf beast.

The super-strong claws will help a werewolf climb sheer surfaces, especially when pursuing prey or combating an attack.

How Do They Die?

Although a typical werewolf possesses several regenerative abilities and physical resilience, the presence of silver can significantly ruin these abilities in a werewolf.

Yes, a silver bullet or a blade is the best-known weapon to terminate a werewolf with. A stab in the heart or a shot in the head of a werewolf will result in instant death.

Although a minor injury on the skin may not necessarily kill the werewolf, it can hamper its regenerative and healing abilities.

Silver weapons are the main weak point of a werewolf especially when it penetrates the body to harm the vital internal organs. Silver affects the original werewolf bleed more than the Lycans, the second werewolf bleed.

Silver Nitrate Bullets are fatal to werewolves as they release the silver content straight into the bloodstream resulting in an instant werewolf death.

Other inventions include the use of Ultraviolet ammunition in killing werewolves, although this technique is more effective at killing vampires than werewolves.

How are werewolves created?

Before infection, a werewolf is a mortal human being, but after being bitten by the first werewolf generation, the mortal human transforms into a typical werewolf.

A werewolf of this type is known to be the most savage and lacks any sense of reason. Besides, they have an insatiable craving for riots against everyone.

Are werewolves immortal in folklore?

Although very few traditional folklores depict werewolves as immortal beings, the concept of immortal werewolves seems to be prevalent in modern werewolf folklores.

The reason is that most traditional werewolf folklore considered werewolves to be ordinary people who could shapeshift into wolf-like beasts during the full moon night.

With the introduction of new beliefs such that werewolves were men who had received a curse so that they would transform into a beast involuntary, the concept of immortality and age also come in.

However, most werewolf legends in folklores lose a battle and probably die, especially if the fight involved other higher-dimensional beings like vampires. Werewolves end up being wondered, and if they were in their human form, they die and never come back to life.

In Chinese werewolf folklores, some werewolves are said to be over 80 years and still appear alert and eerily better than what an ordinary human being can. This implies that age doesn't affect the so perceived immortal werewolves

Although the question about age isn't emphasized in most European werewolf folklores, an old grandma werewolf is seen to be so powerful that they can seize a well-built man with less or no effort at all and still convert him into their meal.

Besides, despite her age, a grandma werewolf is seen moving at a supersonic speed, being stronger, and having advanced smelling ability better than younger werewolves which can further indicate that age isn't a matter of concern in werewolves.

Older werewolves are seen to possess extraordinary healing abilities, perfect warriors, and sages. Age doesn't slow them from performing extraordinary tasks with ease.

Although in most folklores, the rule governing how the werewolf immortality should be depicted is not very strict, werewolves are depicted as immortal beings, but immortality is limited since a werewolf can be killed in one way or another.

According to the various myths, age doesn't slow a werewolf from performing any of their tasks like seizing a strong prey.

In some cases, the immortality of werewolves is highly associated with magic powers, so some werewolves have to seek the assistance of a superior dimensional being who can also bring back to life even after death.

What can affect the ability of a werewolf to age?

Although involuntary, werewolves can shapeshift on a full moon night from their human form to the wolf-like beast.

Their ability to shapeshift is greatly is activated by the full moonlight, which occurs for a few days in a month. When they are in their wolf form, werewolves are not only immortal but also cannot age.

This means that if a werewolf lost its ability to transform into a wolf-like beast, the chances of aging and dying increase.

For instance, in the Twilight universe, the werewolves start as a small pack but gradually multiple so that they can kill a vampire by themselves.

However, as the moon phase keeps on getting interrupted, several werewolves die, making it difficult for the remaining werewolves to eliminate their antagonists, i.e., vampires.

Moreover, the twilight universe werewolves can be said to be immortal, especially since they are said to have existed a long time ago before creating vampires.
