Werewolves go by a few names one of which is the latter and others which include lycan and lycanthrope. Next to Vampires, werewolves are one of the most written about creatures in the world of literature. Even most cultures around the world have literature speaking about the shapeshifting human who turns into a werewolf when there's a full moon out. No matter what you call them werewolves are prominent in our culture seeing many movies and books being made out of that legend.
The most prominent features of the lycans is their ability to shape-shift into wolves when the moon becomes full. A human can only be turned when they are bitten by a werewolf. When the moon becomes full they turn into a wolf, completely, also acting like one. They may attack and even turn others but when the affects of the moon wear off, they have no recollection of what happened. The only way to kill a werewolf is by using silver, silver stakes, swords, daggers, etc. To be safe let's just say silver weaponry.
