There's also @coganlollins these were wolves: or HEAPs (Hyper Evolved Accelerated Proteins) from the scifi show Sanctuary,werewolves from the show Being Human(one of the main characters were bitten when he was younger,and developed Lycanthropy/werewolf hybrid) sam only changed one time at full moon that's 12 times a year. you find out later the original pure blood werewolves are stronger than any Werewolf known in that series(I would say they could be more evolved than Gabriel,not as strong as Lucian/Uber Werewolf or Marius. However,they change every single night when there a full moon,and their kind get stronger as they get older(so their strength,healing factor,speed has no limits,they just get better) Than the Faye werewolves from Lost Girl(they are stupid strong) I have no clue where to place them
I think the werwolves in van helsing and underworld if you compare them to each other are very similar and it's hard to judfe who is stronger but i am lenaing towrds the underworld ones becuase they can control their transformations and reatian thier mind and sinaty
@@tommyapocalypse6096 the dog soldier werewolf are slow and the head seems to be anatomically imperfect, the head and the chest is bigger than the rest of the body
Underworld defined lycanthropy for me. I loved their distinction between werewolves & lycans. It only made sense that those born into the power would have the ability to control their shifts. My favorite supernatural species, & a heavy influence on my own take.
I love the Werewolves from Van Helsing and I think Van Helsing's Werewolf is my favorite Werewolf design of all time , I love how huge and muscular his werewolf is( pause lol 😂 ) and I think it's awesome that he can pretty much use his werewolf powers as a human and the all black design of his Werewolf looks badass too, whenever I think Werewolf a vicious unstoppable beast of a killing machine 9 times out of 10 I think of Van Helsing's Werewolf and technically when you think about it if these Werewolves are capable of killing this Dracula a Dracula that is the powerful vampire in all of movies ever then technically Van Helsing's Werewolf is the most powerful werewolf of all time but also I'm not complaining about the number 1 either it's greatly earned too
I always felt like the werewolves from Van Helsing were the most quintessential werewolf. Like when you think of Wolfman, there’s an image that comes to mind but when you think of a werewolf, the van Helsing version is the best depiction also, Gabriel would totally clap quint he’s the left hand of god and also immortal
The werewolf in Monster Squad definitely deserves a mention. When they say only a silver bullet can kill a werewolf in that movie, they meant it. He could feel pain, as seen with the kick to the groin, but even after they blow him up with dynamite, he immediately pulls himself back together and gets back to the chase.
It's also worth pointing out just how good 'Underworld: Rise of the Lycans' actually is. This is no gimmick-laden flick relying on telegraphed transformation scenes . I think it's probably the best in the genre. The gothic set design is superb. The story is engaging, and it works as a fine metaphor for class-struggle and suppression, and the decadences of privilege. Michael Sheen is awesome as a 'Spartacus'-like saviour of his species, whilst Bill Nighty plays the Machiavellian aristocrat leader of the vampires with audacious camp. Check it out!
The only that I wish they would've done with the movie is actually show the Lycans and werewolves side by side in a shot. They show Lucian when he changes to stop them in the woods but they never show the pushed in snout Lycans right beside the longer muzzle of the Werewolves. It's assumed at the end that there's Lycans mixed in but it doesn't show then. Also all the Lycans in this movie have a shorter muzzle when they show Victor's daytime guards and the Lycan that was chained up changing the slaves into wolves.
It is great. And it was nice to see the werewolves as heroes rather than mindless beasts that are so common in other movies. In fact, you could argue that in the series its actually Lycans who are the ultimate good guys. Selene and Michael are late comers to the side of right.
The first and Rise of the Lycans are the best out of them all, for different reasons but both take firs place jointly for me. This series done brilliant in the lore area for both vampires and lycans/werewolves. Damn good films.
Without a doubt, the most powerful Werewolf is the one in Michael Jackson's Thriller. On top of the usual werewolf stuff, he is capable of summoning an undead army without much effort, captivate anyone with his incredible music and voice, dance the hell out of his victims to the death, and mind-trick them into believing everything was just a dream when he's finished. :)
4:04 grayback is a special case even in Harry Potter, in most cases there is a clear dividing line between the cursed form and the everyday witch and wizard but for Grayback he has fully given himself over to the curse and it’s found the perfect host and because of this even when he is in his normal form he is still partly changed so he always has fangs, claws pointy ears and an excess of hair and if this was say D&D his fangs and claws count as magical cursed weapons, Bill would have been 100% fine if it was envy other werewolf in its human form he wouldn’t even have a scratch on him.
@@lucasbrown743 werewolves were turned by the original and could never return to a human state. A Lycan was one that could shift back and forth between human and humanoid wolf forms. The first Lycan being Lucian.
I like the Underworld Werewolves/Lycans. It should be treated like a curse but they also explain the anatomy and biology behind it. Alexander Corvinus body reacted differently when infected with a plague. He became the first immortal and had 3 sons. Two twins, 1 bit by Bat, 1 by a Wolf and one younger brother who lived amongst mortals. Being bit by a Werewolf will make you into a mindless monster for eternity. It would make sense that eventually a pregnant woman would get bit. A child being able to become a Wolf at will is awesome. Very interesting lore behind it I like stuff like that. How the origin that lead to a creation of a monster occurred and have it make sense. What if one of the brothers was bit by a pig. Would they turn into a pig? Lol
There's actually 3 generations of werewolves in Underworld. Like you mentioned William any individual infected by him cannot return to their human form. Second generation started with Lucian. His mother was bitten while she was pregnant with him, when born he was human but could voluntarily transform while still be able to revert back to his human form. Any bitten by him also gained that ability if they survire. Older Lycan's have grown stronger over time no longer need the moon to trigger their transformation. Last are the Super Lycans from Awakening who are genetically enchanced (by Anti-gen) being twice the size of regular lycans as well greater strength and stamina.
Both sons got bit by rabies infected animals. Bats are asymptomatic carriers of rabies and dont act differently while wolves shown signs when they are infected with rabies like any other animal. Only mammals could infect them with virusses otherwise 1 of them would have been a giant tick or misquito by now and in those acient types many people died due to leeches and we dont see them transform into those animals so the corvinus strain can only assimilate mammalian virusses
You can definintely say that the lycan's of underworld aren't really cursed. The power and control they get pretty much takes it from curse to blessing or super power in my opinion.
Guess it depends which werewolf you become. I think they differentiated the werewolves as the mindless ones bitten by William, while Lycans can turn at will.
@@Lacastrian Eternity. You'll be lucky if you retain some semblance of your personality. Forget relationships too, you'll meet so many that either you would shut yourself off from emotional attachments, or you could turn sadistic, knowing there would be no lasting damage to you. Now if eternal life and a healing factor were the package, depending on the healing factor... you could feasibly face the real possibility of outlasting humanity, or the planet's destruction. Wandering the world without a soul to meet, a bite to eat or a drop to drink, or floating through space with only your mind to occupy you. You would go insane, no questions. Immortality is the greatest curse.
Actually in "The Wolfman" Lawrence Talbot did show greater strength in human form. When the townspeople came to take him against his will, he was able to hold three men back just with his formerly injured arm. He even comments on this afterwards. The scene where Sir John Talbot's Werewolf attacked the Gypsy camp was very impressive, showing off not just his tremendous strength and ferocity, but his incredible speed as well. One of the all time best scenes showing just how nearly unstoppable even a single Werewolf could be.
Writing my own massive comic that largely involves werewolves, vampires, reapers, and angels (and yes they are related to vampires somewhat directly) hoping someday it'll get to the point where you cover it. Definitely have the strongest wolves, probably not strongest vampires but close.
@@NE_8A_DabJr well it's rather long. I plan for it to be in primary parts, each broken down into 3 major arcs and 2 minor arcs. I have it all plotted to the end but only the first 6 issues of the first arc completely written. I have some early art for it released but as far as the comic itself it's quite a ways away unfortunately.
Ginger from “Ginger snaps” might not have been the strongest or made the list. But she is pretty iconic and has one of the most brutal human to wolf transformations in film! American werewolf in London too! 🌙 🐺 💋
@@Azrael-the-immortal I absolutely agree! I thought part 2 was a very well done film that continued the story of phoebe dealing with everything after what happened. I loved how Gingers ghost was always around her kinda like the way Jack was with David in “American werewolf in London.” I’m really excited to know that a reboot show is in the works and both Emily and Katherine are both going to cameo in it! ❤️
@@mikes5637 I’ve never cared for Harry Potter. I never saw the Films, played the games or read the books. So I can’t say how I feel since I don’t know.
Purely design-wise, the Van Helsing werewolf personifies the Uber Chad Werewolf for me and is the all time best! As for the lore and overall impression, I really like the Underworld lycans and werewolfs, they're such a masterfully done specimens and tribe. ❤️🔥👍
For the Underworld, I think the reason why Marius and Quint become massive while Michael and Eve remained the same is because of the Corvenus blood. Michael being from the 3rd child of Alexander and Eve from Serene's direct Alexander's blood. Michael and Eve were closely to human but when others were to take it in, they turn into massive monsters.
Well Micheal was half vampire and half werewolf from the onset. He never truly was one or the other. Eve was actually mostly vampire, her father was a descendant of the 3rd Corvenus, and a half and half. Her mother was a vampire who was transformed by the "pure" Corvenus blood into something new. Marius and Quint were werewolves mutated by ingesting the blood of stronger beings, but only temporarily.
@@nooneofimportance2110 Michael wasn't just half vampire and half werewolf. He's Alexander's direct descendant from the 3rd sibling. Half werewolf and half vampire would've been Marcus (when he awoken by drinking werewolf blood) and Lucian's kid. Marius and Quint drank from Michael while the doctor drank Eve's blood (which is practically 100% Corvinus)
@@wanderingbufoon Michael wasn't a direct descendant of Corvinos, he was A descendant of the 3rd son of Corvinos (the MORTAL son), and he was lucky enough to have the genetic markers that enabled him to overcome the inherit lethality of the vampire/werewolf viruses. Selene herself talked about how lethal the viruses they carried were. But Michael WAS NOT a pure strain Corvinos. Marius was drinking ground up Michael. Quint was drinking Eve's blood. Eve was half vampire, a quarter werewolf, and a quarter Corvinos strain mutant immortal. I don't think even the filmmakers knew what the hell Marcus was. I'm pretty sure he was just the first vampire, and thus why he turned into a giant bat monster. Not actually sure he hybridized when he drank lycan blood. If he had been hybridized, he wouldn't have been so easily killed.
@@nooneofimportance2110 I think the issue was that Underworld 2 wasn't really fully fledge in the works and everything was more of a 1 off kind of film. Another thing is that the story arc of the 3 brothers didn't give Michael a lot of leeway to explain his powers. We know about Marcus and William. I think the 2nd film tried to do a Van Helsing route. In the story, the 2 brothers were bit while the remaining sibling remained pure. As far as we can tell, Michael or the 3rd lineage is special. Not because they can take in the 2 brothers' strain but because they are immortal. Michael is the only one that has ever come back to life from fully dead in the series. I don't think David and Selene count as they were assisted. David by Selene's Corvinus blood (making him hybrid) and Selene was brought back by Lena (Nordic ritual). Michael was killed and drained ever since he became a hybrid and he's gone back from the dead. So to say that his bloodline is normal is quite an understatement. I think there's a lot that was meant to be answered about the 3rd line through Michael. Unfortunately, Scott Speedman didn't want to reprise his role so we would never get to (at least in films, perhaps a show or game or visual novel). I do have a feeling that after Van Helsing, Underworld tried to give their own spin on that universe or give it a sequel using their own universe. Dracula for Marcus, Van Helsing for William/Lucian and Frankenstein's Monster for Michael.
@@wanderingbufoon Very well said, but I'm pretty sure that the 3rd Corvinos bloodline was mortal BUT had the POTENTIAL to become it's own brand of immortal, needing a trigger. I agree 100% with everything else you said though.
Love your videos! Keep up the great work. As for my two cents: Michael and Selene should count themselves lucky William wasn't at full strength. Despite being imprisoned for centuries, William was strong enough to give Michael's hybrid form a damn good fight. As for favorite werewolf designs, I have a soft spot for Gabriel/Van Helsing's Werewolf form (it's just so damn beastly). That being said I love the Underworld lycans! It'd be cool to see a Van Helsing/Underworld crossover.
I think it's interesting that even in his werewolf form, that Velkan still has the urge to frustrate his family's ancient foe/ ancestor- & when human, he has complete self-possession- but instantly loses control in his were-form. Top 10 TV werewolves would be great!
You forgot the wolves from Twilight. Controlled transformers, telepathic with others of their pack, healing and they retain their intelligence. Along with standard speed, strength, endurance and senses. Downsides, quick to anger somewhat which leads to injuries of innocents. It is also mentioned that they may not be werewolves just shapeshifters who only ever changed into wolves and hadn't tried for any other animal
Selene never ceased to amaze me with her never ending hatred for anybody who is either a vampire or a werewolf but her boyfriend. Thanks for your video man! Kind regards from Ásgeir in Iceland.
Lucian from the first movie is my personal favourite. The hair, the coat, the arm blade... Awesome! He just oozed charisma and power, without ever even changing.
I'm curious about your take on the wolves from Red Riding Hood. I loved the thought and world building that went into the whole movie, especially the werewolf curse. Thanks for your content!
One thing to add to Van Helsings werewolf is that Gabe, where's a silver ring and his claws are silver, so he is not affected by silver only the moon and the crue
Werewolves were always my fav monster. Vampires typically seem the ...sophisticated, alluring types and normally have far more human forms. While they are also normally given hightened abilities...werewolves generally are always stronger and more durable. Plus a badass beast form. Hence why I love them, its a display of raw power and ferocity.
A TV top 5 of werewolves would be really interesting because there have been so many. Have you watched werewolf by night yet? I really enjoyed the old monster movie vibe and the characters in it. Viking werewolf is another new one to check out. Its not the best, but not the worst werewolf film I have ever seen. Different take on the werewolf story worth a watch.
If Werewolf By Night is based on the Marvel comic then it was totally based on the original Wolfman movies. Marvel changed later because of legal challenges from Universal, so they had to change the head design, but its totally inspired by Lon Chaney Jr.'s original Wolfman. Later it became more like the Lycans from Underworld and Jack Russel had control over his transformation. Even teamed up with Ghost Rider for a while I think. I read the marvel comic when it first came out (yes I am old LOL) and it had that same Wolfman vibe.
@michaelpeele8558 you can really see it was inspired by the original wolf man movie ,was done really well and kinda up there with the wolf man from monster squad , yes I am also old just an 80s kid ha. But loved watching hammer horror and old monster movies back on a Saturday night in the 90s ,or horror movies on Friday the 13th. Don't know what genius put a stop to that but was a real pity. Loved tales from the crypt too. I sadly never got to read the comics but they all got inspired by something or someone else's work back then. Nasfuratu was inspired by Bram Stoker's Dacula but they changed it just enough, his wife still sued them tho. But it's a great creepy eerie movie on its on . I really liked how they made the wolfman look and the half show the transformation very nostalgic. But very well done especially for his first film I really would love to see a monster verse don't care who does it, once it's done right.
Werewolves have always been some of my favorite creatures in movies. Loved the list but personally, I would have put the werewolves from the movie Cursed with Christina Ricci, Jessie Eisenberg and Joshua Jackson over the werewolves from Harry Potter. Much more feats of strength and intelligence in Cursed than Harry Potter.
I completely forgot about that werewolf flick, by Wes craven I believe. But I think he used HP werewolf bc it’s more magical, and apparently any wound obtained from them never heals. I think a mindless beast would destroy a conscious lycan any day (I believe you can gain consciousness from those wolves, I remember it flipping the bird lol)
@@Nutterbutter123 I’d have to rewatch the movie again but I’m pretty sure one off the werewolves in it absolutely tosses as vehicle so I was just think of it as a feat of strength stand point. I’d also say the lack of total mindlessness could be an advantage.
The vanhelsing werewolves are exactly what werewolves should be. Their strength and agility are unbelievable. And even though they can’t change at will or are limited to the full moon, their human form is still very strong and agile. Vanhelsing was just on another level brutal and I think he can definitely take on the Uber lycan.
I'm surprised William Corvinus wasn't specifically stated to be the number 1, being able to infect people after killing them, survived about 800 years without food, but was still able to shatter stone with ease. He took on both Selene and Michael Corwin, who were in peak enhanced condition, not to mention a trained modern squad of soldiers with state of the art weaponry. If the guy'd had a snack, I don't think any of them would've survived. But I haven't seen what Quint Lane can do so I am a bit biased.
To me one of the best scenes in Underworld and all of werewolf movies is from the first Underworld movie where raze and the guy with the razor whips went at it.👌🏾🔥
To be honest? Harry Potter and Cursed 2021 weren't the greatest Werewolfs in movies. But I still respect your decision for this list you picked great video.
I agree with this list especially number 1 being the Werewolfs from Underworld film series. And number 2 being from Van Helsing 2004 movie. I think the movie Cursed from 2004, Ginger Snaps 2000, Werewolf the beast among us 2012, the Howling 1981, and Dog Soldiers 2002. Should have been an honorable mentions list. But now I think about it? It would be cool and nice if you do a top 5 Zombies in movies as well.
I'm kinda surprised that the werewolves from The Howling didn't make the list. Their only really vulnerable to silver (fire hurts and acid does do damage, but it takes a LOT of either to actually kill them, you'd have to destroy completely), they can regenerate from anything, even regenerating lost limbs (Eddy had his brains blown out, and came back 3 days later, another had an arm cut off and it grew back), they have super human strength even in human form, and they can transform whenever they want, even control the speed of the transformation for psychological effect.
Such a great presentation. This reminds of how much I want a lycan-centric Underworld film. Their werewolves are definitely some of the best on film. I’m actually surprised the werewolves from Dog Soldiers didn’t make the list🤔☺️💀😎
Van Helsing werewolves by far were the best of any super natual movies that have come out, they actually look like wolves that have beast bodies, just super well done.
In my opinion I think the van helsing werewolf could use its agility, speed and strength to kill the mega lycan but the other Lycan/werewolves unless it’s a cloudy full moon or day the van helsing werewolf would slaughter them without issue
Nah the giant lycan heals way to fast. Unless he used the same weapons Selene used, he'd eventually get tired from constantly attacking and dealing no significant damage. And eventually slow down enough so the lycan can grab him and kill him.
Love your video, Werewolfs are my fav fantasy species, I would like to point that Remus sees the licantrophy as a curse, thats why the look of sick, thin and in some parts of the body hayrless, in comparison of Fenrir, that even in his human form he embrace the curse, dont know how much it would change his transformation in werewolf in the movie
Thank you bro, for your speed of speech. Creators are so obsessed with monetization they speak so slow, I have a default speed of play at 1.5x and some even go to 2x, but you: I appreciate I can leave it at 1x. Thanks, man.
I think Gabriel could have been stronger in werewolf form because... Dracula was referring to an ancient battle between the two of them, which means he is the archangel Gabriel and because of that he survived a lot of things for a very long time That's why I think it could have been even stronger. But probably the filmmakers also forgot the fact of who Gabriel really is. 😅
The transformation of werewolves in Van Helsing is just so Goated. The skin being peeled off and the fact they look the most WOLF-like is insane to me.
I think you nailed the number one spot/ I never thought it very cool to be a Lycan until the Underworld series as they retain so much power in human form as well as control of transformation and awareness thereafter. Lucian became such a hero to me especially when he got his own lovestory/movie. Mad respect. I have not caught your vampire series but before the weekend is out I'm going to be doing some Cogan Collins binging🤗. been subbed for a while but I'm ringing that bell tonight! Have an awesome weekend
The enhanced lycans are watered down hybrids, so I don’t know if they count. He got his blood from Eve who is 25% werewolf & 75% vampire, so water down hybrid. That being said the lycans are hands down the best movie werewolf to become.
You should have included Jacob from the Twilight saga. In Human form these Wolf-Shifters are very durable and strong. But they lack really good regeneration abilities. And honorable mention should be given to the werewolves from these movies...The Howling, An American Werewolf in London, Howl, Wer, Dog Soldiers, Cursed, Wolves, Silver Bullet, and Red Riding Hood.
I really like the video, especially that you covered the Harry Potter Werewolf, but I feel like the werewolves from Twilight could be on this list too(if they count as werewolves and not shapeshifters). I know that the movies suck but the werewolves still have some pretty good feats, like easily overpowering vampires who are strong enough to uproot trees, and being able to outrun them when vampires move faster than humans can see. They also have some feats in human form, like Jakob easily picking up a dirt bike, or healing in less than a few hours from having his rip cage completely crushed (while his bones did grow together the wrong way, it's still impressive that it was faster than Carlisle could stabilize them in the right position). It's not clear how long it took for him to grow the bones together but depending on how long it takes to stabilize bones in a broken rip cage if it was faster than the healing in human form of the wolf man
I think they're technically shape shifters in the modern understanding. In the ancient folklore werewolves did completely shape shift. But, now shifters are kind of a separate category.
I've wondered if Quint or William was stronger. We see William in a very weakened state mop the floor with Michael for most of the fight. I imagine William at full power could've killed his father (and I think Viktor locked him away because he secretly feared William and even doubted he could defeat him). Unfortunately werewolves don't get as much love as other supernatural beings/people, so we don't often get to see them to be the utter powerhouses they are. (Oh, Cogan, I've been meaning to ask this but I kept forgetting: Have you read the Wereworld books by Curtis Jobling?)
michael wasnt exacly at his strongest either infact he just came out of a short coma and willaims didnt mop the floor with michael he jjust kocked him arround a fuw times but michael easely tor his face in haf. quint is obviously stronger even between michael and quint quint would win unless michael uses a good stratagy.
Snape yelling at the kids quickly went protection mode against the werewolf Wich makes me think the theory he's a vampire or a half vampire more realistic
Lawrence Talbot from Wolfman might be my favorite. Super underrated werewolf and movie imo. I think the ones from Underworld might be #2. Appreciate the videos!
I would like to have thought on the following. In Twilight Eclipse, before the battle when they stared each other down and the wolfs appeared, I think what would have made the seen much better would have been werewolves from Under world coming out on the other side in alliance with the Cullen family.
Real dogmen can move as fast or faster than you can move your eyes. So many who have seen them said they literally moved faster than they could see when they took off or was passing by them in the woods. My experience with them I did not get to see them, just seen the prints behind me, the woods had dry leaves everywhere yet they passed behind me without a sound, they were in the trees and dropped down to cross the path that cut between the trees making them have to come out of the trees to keep moving as the path cut a gap between the trees. They moved within 10-50 yards of me and I never heard them, there were at least 20 tracks about 10 feet wide with about 20+ tracks of paw prints larger than a dinner plate, I had a size 11 winter boot being over a foot long and I could put my foot inside the paw prints with inches on the end and back of my foot and about 5 inches or more to each side of my foot. They were HUGE. This happened at gourdneck state game area in portage Michigan around 2015-2016 fall bow hunting season.
The werewolves in Being Human (UK) definitely should be on this list, they're way stronger than the wolves from Harry Potter and the wolfman, with singular werewolves being able to take out multiple vampires including some of the strongest in the series. George forced himself to partially transform using a picture of a full moon, and went on to kill dozens of vampires despite slowly dying due to the partial transformation destroying his body
Definitely do a top 5 werewolves from TV. I love the way your interest in supernatural matches mine with all the nuances. Your content always makes me so excited
This ranking is solid. I can't speak on the twilight werewolves since I've only read the books and didn't watch the movies. Underworld Lycans are definitely #1.

I always loved the Van Helsing werewolves. Fast, agile, vicious. What every good werewolf should be.
Insane brute strength too
And in my opinion the most important part. They CANNOT control themselves. That's what a fun werewolf is for stories.
The werewolves in van HELSING scared me because of how fast they were and like the gentleman above me said they just can't control themselves

Underworld defined lycanthropy for me. I loved their distinction between werewolves & lycans. It only made sense that those born into the power would have the ability to control their shifts. My favorite supernatural species, & a heavy influence on my own take.
Underworld and Van Helsing will always be my favourite werewolves. They're just so cool
More those under Lucian's line tbh.
@@VelaiciaCreator yeah. They were awesome. Like Raze
Same here! It was the movies that made me really like werewolves
@@coganLollins I would always prefer to be a lycan over a vampire. Except for a few all the vampire's in underworld come off as spooled rich kids.
I love the Werewolves from Van Helsing and I think Van Helsing's Werewolf is my favorite Werewolf design of all time , I love how huge and muscular his werewolf is( pause lol 😂 ) and I think it's awesome that he can pretty much use his werewolf powers as a human and the all black design of his Werewolf looks badass too, whenever I think Werewolf a vicious unstoppable beast of a killing machine 9 times out of 10 I think of Van Helsing's Werewolf and technically when you think about it if these Werewolves are capable of killing this Dracula a Dracula that is the powerful vampire in all of movies ever then technically Van Helsing's Werewolf is the most powerful werewolf of all time but also I'm not complaining about the number 1 either it's greatly earned too
I think the van helsing werewolves might be my favourite as well, and for the same reasons lol
@@coganLollins awesome ! , yeah the Van Helsing werewolves are so cool
Mine too. They are werewolves done right in my opinion.
Van helsing werewolves is how I always pictured werewolves in my mind
I always felt like the werewolves from Van Helsing were the most quintessential werewolf. Like when you think of Wolfman, there’s an image that comes to mind but when you think of a werewolf, the van Helsing version is the best depiction also, Gabriel would totally clap quint he’s the left hand of god and also immortal
The werewolf in Monster Squad definitely deserves a mention. When they say only a silver bullet can kill a werewolf in that movie, they meant it. He could feel pain, as seen with the kick to the groin, but even after they blow him up with dynamite, he immediately pulls himself back together and gets back to the chase.
It's also worth pointing out just how good 'Underworld: Rise of the Lycans' actually is. This is no gimmick-laden flick relying on telegraphed transformation scenes . I think it's probably the best in the genre. The gothic set design is superb. The story is engaging, and it works as a fine metaphor for class-struggle and suppression, and the decadences of privilege. Michael Sheen is awesome as a 'Spartacus'-like saviour of his species, whilst Bill Nighty plays the Machiavellian aristocrat leader of the vampires with audacious camp. Check it out!
The only that I wish they would've done with the movie is actually show the Lycans and werewolves side by side in a shot. They show Lucian when he changes to stop them in the woods but they never show the pushed in snout Lycans right beside the longer muzzle of the Werewolves. It's assumed at the end that there's Lycans mixed in but it doesn't show then. Also all the Lycans in this movie have a shorter muzzle when they show Victor's daytime guards and the Lycan that was chained up changing the slaves into wolves.
It is great. And it was nice to see the werewolves as heroes rather than mindless beasts that are so common in other movies. In fact, you could argue that in the series its actually Lycans who are the ultimate good guys. Selene and Michael are late comers to the side of right.
The first and Rise of the Lycans are the best out of them all, for different reasons but both take firs place jointly for me. This series done brilliant in the lore area for both vampires and lycans/werewolves. Damn good films.
Well when you mention all that class struggle and privelage nonsense you make the movie sound far less appealing
@@Outcast-0033 Apologies. I'm an English teacher so it's just how my brain works.
Without a doubt, the most powerful Werewolf is the one in Michael Jackson's Thriller. On top of the usual werewolf stuff, he is capable of summoning an undead army without much effort, captivate anyone with his incredible music and voice, dance the hell out of his victims to the death, and mind-trick them into believing everything was just a dream when he's finished. :)
😂😂😂
Rivalled only by MJFox’s teen wolf
4:04 grayback is a special case even in Harry Potter, in most cases there is a clear dividing line between the cursed form and the everyday witch and wizard but for Grayback he has fully given himself over to the curse and it’s found the perfect host and because of this even when he is in his normal form he is still partly changed so he always has fangs, claws pointy ears and an excess of hair and if this was say D&D his fangs and claws count as magical cursed weapons, Bill would have been 100% fine if it was envy other werewolf in its human form he wouldn’t even have a scratch on him.
The Underworld franchise did have a fantastic system for Immortals, Vampires, Werewolves, and Lycans. It was logical and easy to understand.
Which is proof of good writing. With that caliber of writing and the great acting its easy to see why its so beloved.
@Michael Peele until they decided to have a 4th movie. Which derailed the franchise
How did they differentiate between werewolf and lycan?
@@lucasbrown743 werewolves were turned by the original and could never return to a human state. A Lycan was one that could shift back and forth between human and humanoid wolf forms. The first Lycan being Lucian.
@@carloakenshieldagreed 👍 and that they killed Michael off.
I like the Underworld Werewolves/Lycans. It should be treated like a curse but they also explain the anatomy and biology behind it. Alexander Corvinus body reacted differently when infected with a plague. He became the first immortal and had 3 sons. Two twins, 1 bit by Bat, 1 by a Wolf and one younger brother who lived amongst mortals. Being bit by a Werewolf will make you into a mindless monster for eternity. It would make sense that eventually a pregnant woman would get bit. A child being able to become a Wolf at will is awesome. Very interesting lore behind it I like stuff like that. How the origin that lead to a creation of a monster occurred and have it make sense. What if one of the brothers was bit by a pig. Would they turn into a pig? Lol
There's actually 3 generations of werewolves in Underworld. Like you mentioned William any individual infected by him cannot return to their human form.
Second generation started with Lucian. His mother was bitten while she was pregnant with him, when born he was human but could voluntarily transform while still be able to revert back to his human form. Any bitten by him also gained that ability if they survire. Older Lycan's have grown stronger over time no longer need the moon to trigger their transformation.
Last are the Super Lycans from Awakening who are genetically enchanced (by Anti-gen) being twice the size of regular lycans as well greater strength and stamina.
Loool a WerePig
The lesson here is he didn't watch his kids enough 🤣
Both sons got bit by rabies infected animals.
Bats are asymptomatic carriers of rabies and dont act differently while wolves shown signs when they are infected with rabies like any other animal.
Only mammals could infect them with virusses otherwise 1 of them would have been a giant tick or misquito by now and in those acient types many people died due to leeches and we dont see them transform into those animals so the corvinus strain can only assimilate mammalian virusses
bitten by a spider?
You can definintely say that the lycan's of underworld aren't really cursed. The power and control they get pretty much takes it from curse to blessing or super power in my opinion.
Immortality honestly is one of the worst curses you can put someone through.
Guess it depends which werewolf you become. I think they differentiated the werewolves as the mindless ones bitten by William, while Lycans can turn at will.
@@VelaiciaCreator no.
@@Lacastrian Eternity. You'll be lucky if you retain some semblance of your personality. Forget relationships too, you'll meet so many that either you would shut yourself off from emotional attachments, or you could turn sadistic, knowing there would be no lasting damage to you.
Now if eternal life and a healing factor were the package, depending on the healing factor... you could feasibly face the real possibility of outlasting humanity, or the planet's destruction. Wandering the world without a soul to meet, a bite to eat or a drop to drink, or floating through space with only your mind to occupy you. You would go insane, no questions.
Immortality is the greatest curse.
@@VelaiciaCreator You even grow tired of living and try killing yourself in an attempt to die but cant.
Actually in "The Wolfman" Lawrence Talbot did show greater strength in human form. When the townspeople came to take him against his will, he was able to hold three men back just with his formerly injured arm. He even comments on this afterwards. The scene where Sir John Talbot's Werewolf attacked the Gypsy camp was very impressive, showing off not just his tremendous strength and ferocity, but his incredible speed as well. One of the all time best scenes showing just how nearly unstoppable even a single Werewolf could be.
Opĺ I'm
Writing my own massive comic that largely involves werewolves, vampires, reapers, and angels (and yes they are related to vampires somewhat directly) hoping someday it'll get to the point where you cover it.
Definitely have the strongest wolves, probably not strongest vampires but close.
Well I’m already interested is it a horror or a action adventure?
@@RandomMackem0069_Official action adventure, but I do use several horror elements and it takes place in a slightly or victorian setting.
@@na5567 interesting enough Victorian times with werewolves is already horrifying since they don’t have as powerful weapons
When will we be able to read your works?!
@@NE_8A_DabJr well it's rather long. I plan for it to be in primary parts, each broken down into 3 major arcs and 2 minor arcs. I have it all plotted to the end but only the first 6 issues of the first arc completely written. I have some early art for it released but as far as the comic itself it's quite a ways away unfortunately.
Ginger from “Ginger snaps” might not have been the strongest or made the list. But she is pretty iconic and has one of the most brutal human to wolf transformations in film! American werewolf in London too! 🌙 🐺 💋
Ginger snaps 1-3 are all imo very underrated films and one of my favourite werewolf movies 👍
I'd swap out Ginger Snaps for Harry Potter's werewolves any day.
I agree that movie is great 👍
@@Azrael-the-immortal I absolutely agree! I thought part 2 was a very well done film that continued the story of phoebe dealing with everything after what happened. I loved how Gingers ghost was always around her kinda like the way Jack was with David in “American werewolf in London.”
I’m really excited to know that a reboot show is in the works and both Emily and Katherine are both going to cameo in it! ❤️
@@mikes5637 I’ve never cared for Harry Potter. I never saw the Films, played the games or read the books. So I can’t say how I feel since I don’t know.
Purely design-wise, the Van Helsing werewolf personifies the Uber Chad Werewolf for me and is the all time best!
As for the lore and overall impression, I really like the Underworld lycans and werewolfs, they're such a masterfully done specimens and tribe. ❤️🔥👍
I love your description and I agree!
Gabriel is and always has been my favorite werewolf.
For the Underworld, I think the reason why Marius and Quint become massive while Michael and Eve remained the same is because of the Corvenus blood. Michael being from the 3rd child of Alexander and Eve from Serene's direct Alexander's blood. Michael and Eve were closely to human but when others were to take it in, they turn into massive monsters.
Well Micheal was half vampire and half werewolf from the onset. He never truly was one or the other. Eve was actually mostly vampire, her father was a descendant of the 3rd Corvenus, and a half and half. Her mother was a vampire who was transformed by the "pure" Corvenus blood into something new. Marius and Quint were werewolves mutated by ingesting the blood of stronger beings, but only temporarily.
@@nooneofimportance2110 Michael wasn't just half vampire and half werewolf. He's Alexander's direct descendant from the 3rd sibling.
Half werewolf and half vampire would've been Marcus (when he awoken by drinking werewolf blood) and Lucian's kid.
Marius and Quint drank from Michael while the doctor drank Eve's blood (which is practically 100% Corvinus)
@@wanderingbufoon Michael wasn't a direct descendant of Corvinos, he was A descendant of the 3rd son of Corvinos (the MORTAL son), and he was lucky enough to have the genetic markers that enabled him to overcome the inherit lethality of the vampire/werewolf viruses. Selene herself talked about how lethal the viruses they carried were. But Michael WAS NOT a pure strain Corvinos.
Marius was drinking ground up Michael. Quint was drinking Eve's blood.
Eve was half vampire, a quarter werewolf, and a quarter Corvinos strain mutant immortal.
I don't think even the filmmakers knew what the hell Marcus was. I'm pretty sure he was just the first vampire, and thus why he turned into a giant bat monster. Not actually sure he hybridized when he drank lycan blood. If he had been hybridized, he wouldn't have been so easily killed.
@@nooneofimportance2110 I think the issue was that Underworld 2 wasn't really fully fledge in the works and everything was more of a 1 off kind of film. Another thing is that the story arc of the 3 brothers didn't give Michael a lot of leeway to explain his powers.
We know about Marcus and William. I think the 2nd film tried to do a Van Helsing route. In the story, the 2 brothers were bit while the remaining sibling remained pure.
As far as we can tell, Michael or the 3rd lineage is special. Not because they can take in the 2 brothers' strain but because they are immortal.
Michael is the only one that has ever come back to life from fully dead in the series. I don't think David and Selene count as they were assisted. David by Selene's Corvinus blood (making him hybrid) and Selene was brought back by Lena (Nordic ritual).
Michael was killed and drained ever since he became a hybrid and he's gone back from the dead.
So to say that his bloodline is normal is quite an understatement. I think there's a lot that was meant to be answered about the 3rd line through Michael. Unfortunately, Scott Speedman didn't want to reprise his role so we would never get to (at least in films, perhaps a show or game or visual novel).
I do have a feeling that after Van Helsing, Underworld tried to give their own spin on that universe or give it a sequel using their own universe. Dracula for Marcus, Van Helsing for William/Lucian and Frankenstein's Monster for Michael.
@@wanderingbufoon Very well said, but I'm pretty sure that the 3rd Corvinos bloodline was mortal BUT had the POTENTIAL to become it's own brand of immortal, needing a trigger. I agree 100% with everything else you said though.
Love your videos! Keep up the great work. As for my two cents: Michael and Selene should count themselves lucky William wasn't at full strength. Despite being imprisoned for centuries, William was strong enough to give Michael's hybrid form a damn good fight. As for favorite werewolf designs, I have a soft spot for Gabriel/Van Helsing's Werewolf form (it's just so damn beastly). That being said I love the Underworld lycans! It'd be cool to see a Van Helsing/Underworld crossover.
Underworld power and immortality Van Helsing desine
I think it's interesting that even in his werewolf form, that Velkan still has the urge to frustrate his family's ancient foe/ ancestor- & when human, he has complete self-possession- but instantly loses control in his were-form.
Top 10 TV werewolves would be great!
Scott McCall and Derek Hale would be high on the list
Any type/incarnation of a Werewolves is truly Cool!!
You forgot the wolves from Twilight. Controlled transformers, telepathic with others of their pack, healing and they retain their intelligence. Along with standard speed, strength, endurance and senses.
Downsides, quick to anger somewhat which leads to injuries of innocents. It is also mentioned that they may not be werewolves just shapeshifters who only ever changed into wolves and hadn't tried for any other animal
Selene never ceased to amaze me with her never ending hatred for anybody who is either a vampire or a werewolf but her boyfriend. Thanks for your video man! Kind regards from Ásgeir in Iceland.
Underworld was bs towards vampires just because mc was a vampire that only made me like Lycans more
Lucian from the first movie is my personal favourite.
The hair, the coat, the arm blade... Awesome!
He just oozed charisma and power, without ever even changing.
Pretty ambitious of them for not having him fully transform
I would love to see The Van Helsing Werewolves have the abilities of the werewolves/Lycans from Underworld!
Van Helsing have that classic look with the super natural nature. Definitely the coolest franchise.
I'm curious about your take on the wolves from Red Riding Hood. I loved the thought and world building that went into the whole movie, especially the werewolf curse. Thanks for your content!
I'm so happy you continued this series of videos
One thing to add to Van Helsings werewolf is that Gabe, where's a silver ring and his claws are silver, so he is not affected by silver only the moon and the crue
Werewolves were always my fav monster. Vampires typically seem the ...sophisticated, alluring types and normally have far more human forms. While they are also normally given hightened abilities...werewolves generally are always stronger and more durable. Plus a badass beast form. Hence why I love them, its a display of raw power and ferocity.
A TV top 5 of werewolves would be really interesting because there have been so many.
Have you watched werewolf by night yet? I really enjoyed the old monster movie vibe and the characters in it.
Viking werewolf is another new one to check out. Its not the best, but not the worst werewolf film I have ever seen. Different take on the werewolf story worth a watch.
If Werewolf By Night is based on the Marvel comic then it was totally based on the original Wolfman movies. Marvel changed later because of legal challenges from Universal, so they had to change the head design, but its totally inspired by Lon Chaney Jr.'s original Wolfman. Later it became more like the Lycans from Underworld and Jack Russel had control over his transformation. Even teamed up with Ghost Rider for a while I think.
I read the marvel comic when it first came out (yes I am old LOL) and it had that same Wolfman vibe.
@michaelpeele8558 you can really see it was inspired by the original wolf man movie ,was done really well and kinda up there with the wolf man from monster squad , yes I am also old just an 80s kid ha. But loved watching hammer horror and old monster movies back on a Saturday night in the 90s ,or horror movies on Friday the 13th. Don't know what genius put a stop to that but was a real pity. Loved tales from the crypt too.
I sadly never got to read the comics but they all got inspired by something or someone else's work back then. Nasfuratu was inspired by Bram Stoker's Dacula but they changed it just enough, his wife still sued them tho. But it's a great creepy eerie movie on its on . I really liked how they made the wolfman look and the half show the transformation very nostalgic. But very well done especially for his first film I really would love to see a monster verse don't care who does it, once it's done right.
Werewolves have always been some of my favorite creatures in movies. Loved the list but personally, I would have put the werewolves from the movie Cursed with Christina Ricci, Jessie Eisenberg and Joshua Jackson over the werewolves from Harry Potter. Much more feats of strength and intelligence in Cursed than Harry Potter.
I completely forgot about that werewolf flick, by Wes craven I believe. But I think he used HP werewolf bc it’s more magical, and apparently any wound obtained from them never heals. I think a mindless beast would destroy a conscious lycan any day (I believe you can gain consciousness from those wolves, I remember it flipping the bird lol)
@@Nutterbutter123 I’d have to rewatch the movie again but I’m pretty sure one off the werewolves in it absolutely tosses as vehicle so I was just think of it as a feat of strength stand point. I’d also say the lack of total mindlessness could be an advantage.
I would have liked to seen the werewolves from *"Wolves"* --- with Jason Momoa
Congratulations on all the new subscribers mate - you deserve them 👌
Strongest werewolf TV Shows, definitely
Great list personally, I would've made it top 10, "Howl" , "America Werewolf in Paris", "Wolf", "Teen Wolf Too", "Cursed 2004" ,
The vanhelsing werewolves are exactly what werewolves should be. Their strength and agility are unbelievable. And even though they can’t change at will or are limited to the full moon, their human form is still very strong and agile. Vanhelsing was just on another level brutal and I think he can definitely take on the Uber lycan.
Tv Shows you could include, Being Human, Teen Wolf, Wolfblood, Wolf Pack, Vampire Diaries, True Blood.
Please do a top 5 strongest tv werewolves.
I like the way the werewolves look in Van Helsing
I'm surprised William Corvinus wasn't specifically stated to be the number 1, being able to infect people after killing them, survived about 800 years without food, but was still able to shatter stone with ease. He took on both Selene and Michael Corwin, who were in peak enhanced condition, not to mention a trained modern squad of soldiers with state of the art weaponry. If the guy'd had a snack, I don't think any of them would've survived. But I haven't seen what Quint Lane can do so I am a bit biased.
I thought that but then he does get his head ripped in half like four minutes later aswell by Michael corvinus
William was a beast...no pun intended 😅
I would definitely like a top 5 TV werewolves compilation.
To me one of the best scenes in Underworld and all of werewolf movies is from the first Underworld movie where raze and the guy with the razor whips went at it.👌🏾🔥
To be honest? Harry Potter and Cursed 2021 weren't the greatest Werewolfs in movies. But I still respect your decision for this list you picked great video.
I agree with this list especially number 1 being the Werewolfs from Underworld film series. And number 2 being from Van Helsing 2004 movie. I think the movie Cursed from 2004, Ginger Snaps 2000, Werewolf the beast among us 2012, the Howling 1981, and Dog Soldiers 2002. Should have been an honorable mentions list.
But now I think about it? It would be cool and nice if you do a top 5 Zombies in movies as well.

I'm kinda surprised that the werewolves from The Howling didn't make the list. Their only really vulnerable to silver (fire hurts and acid does do damage, but it takes a LOT of either to actually kill them, you'd have to destroy completely), they can regenerate from anything, even regenerating lost limbs (Eddy had his brains blown out, and came back 3 days later, another had an arm cut off and it grew back), they have super human strength even in human form, and they can transform whenever they want, even control the speed of the transformation for psychological effect.
Vampire and werewolves are my favorite supernatural beast
Such a great presentation. This reminds of how much I want a lycan-centric Underworld film. Their werewolves are definitely some of the best on film. I’m actually surprised the werewolves from Dog Soldiers didn’t make the list🤔☺️💀😎
There is a lycan-centred Underworld film - its the 3rd in the series called Rise of the Lycans.
@@gedvalente4308 I mean re-visit. There are others besides Lucien☺️😎
I second the Dog Soldiers recommendation!
@@brettfolkerth7612 ☺️😎🐺
Dope video! And yes sir to the werewolves from TV and anime!
I’d like a 5 strongest werewolves from TV video
Howl (2015) was a good film that went under the radar
This is great! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new viking wolf, easily up there with my favourite movies of all time
Van Helsing werewolves by far were the best of any super natual movies that have come out, they actually look like wolves that have beast bodies, just super well done.
My biggest gripe is never seeing Lucian fight at his full potential....
In my opinion I think the van helsing werewolf could use its agility, speed and strength to kill the mega lycan but the other Lycan/werewolves unless it’s a cloudy full moon or day the van helsing werewolf would slaughter them without issue
Nah the giant lycan heals way to fast. Unless he used the same weapons Selene used, he'd eventually get tired from constantly attacking and dealing no significant damage. And eventually slow down enough so the lycan can grab him and kill him.
Unless somehow van helsing has angelic strength and powers in his werewolf form
Highly recommends bespoke!! Got a bubbler piece, a set of knives, and the flame box!! Love everything
Love your video, Werewolfs are my fav fantasy species, I would like to point that Remus sees the licantrophy as a curse, thats why the look of sick, thin and in some parts of the body hayrless, in comparison of Fenrir, that even in his human form he embrace the curse, dont know how much it would change his transformation in werewolf in the movie
Thank you bro, for your speed of speech. Creators are so obsessed with monetization they speak so slow, I have a default speed of play at 1.5x and some even go to 2x, but you: I appreciate I can leave it at 1x. Thanks, man.
I think Gabriel could have been stronger in werewolf form because...
Dracula was referring to an ancient battle between the two of them, which means he is the archangel Gabriel and because of that he survived a lot of things for a very long time
That's why I think it could have been even stronger.
But probably the filmmakers also forgot the fact of who Gabriel really is. 😅
The transformation of werewolves in Van Helsing is just so Goated. The skin being peeled off and the fact they look the most WOLF-like is insane to me.
I think you nailed the number one spot/ I never thought it very cool to be a Lycan until the Underworld series as they retain so much power in human form as well as control of transformation and awareness thereafter. Lucian became such a hero to me especially when he got his own lovestory/movie. Mad respect. I have not caught your vampire series but before the weekend is out I'm going to be doing some Cogan Collins binging🤗. been subbed for a while but I'm ringing that bell tonight! Have an awesome weekend
van helsing version of wolf looks like an unbeatable beast
Do the creatures of teen wolf next
GREAT video Cogan, Werewolves have always been my favorite and never seem to get enough respect in the Monsters Pantheon😉👍🏾
The enhanced lycans are watered down hybrids, so I don’t know if they count. He got his blood from Eve who is 25% werewolf & 75% vampire, so water down hybrid. That being said the lycans are hands down the best movie werewolf to become.
I know people don't like the American werewolf in Paris movie but I'd say they are deserving to be on this list
Definitely strongest werewolves on tv
I agree with your number one but I just love the look of the werewolfs from Van helsing more than underworld
You should have included Jacob from the Twilight saga. In Human form these Wolf-Shifters are very durable and strong. But they lack really good regeneration abilities. And honorable mention should be given to the werewolves from these movies...The Howling, An American Werewolf in London, Howl, Wer, Dog Soldiers, Cursed, Wolves, Silver Bullet, and Red Riding Hood.
Yes more of this, please.
I really like the video, especially that you covered the Harry Potter Werewolf, but I feel like the werewolves from Twilight could be on this list too(if they count as werewolves and not shapeshifters). I know that the movies suck but the werewolves still have some pretty good feats, like easily overpowering vampires who are strong enough to uproot trees, and being able to outrun them when vampires move faster than humans can see. They also have some feats in human form, like Jakob easily picking up a dirt bike, or healing in less than a few hours from having his rip cage completely crushed (while his bones did grow together the wrong way, it's still impressive that it was faster than Carlisle could stabilize them in the right position). It's not clear how long it took for him to grow the bones together but depending on how long it takes to stabilize bones in a broken rip cage if it was faster than the healing in human form of the wolf man
I think they're technically shape shifters in the modern understanding. In the ancient folklore werewolves did completely shape shift. But, now shifters are kind of a separate category.
@@Wastelandman7000 Yeah, I think some of the first werewolf legends where about some guy with a belt from wolf skin who could turn at will
We need more werewolves supernatural movies
Van Helsing and Underworld are unmatched when it comes to werewolves in cinema.
You should do a video on Werewolf the Apocalypse.
Only Lycan elders can change at will....
Great video.
I've wondered if Quint or William was stronger. We see William in a very weakened state mop the floor with Michael for most of the fight. I imagine William at full power could've killed his father (and I think Viktor locked him away because he secretly feared William and even doubted he could defeat him).
Unfortunately werewolves don't get as much love as other supernatural beings/people, so we don't often get to see them to be the utter powerhouses they are.
(Oh, Cogan, I've been meaning to ask this but I kept forgetting: Have you read the Wereworld books by Curtis Jobling?)
michael wasnt exacly at his strongest either infact he just came out of a short coma and willaims didnt mop the floor with michael he jjust kocked him arround a fuw times but michael easely tor his face in haf.
quint is obviously stronger even between michael and quint quint would win unless michael uses a good stratagy.
@@Marcustheseer True, Michael wasn't at his strongest either. Michael was slapping William while William was sending him through concrete walls.
I love the way the werewolves peel their skin off as they are transforming in Van Helsing
Van Helsing werewolves imo were spot on physically.
This takes me back to my first werewolf movie, Silver Bullet. A great classic
Snape yelling at the kids quickly went protection mode against the werewolf Wich makes me think the theory he's a vampire or a half vampire more realistic
Absolutely Perfect List my friend. I have no complaints
Uber Lycan takes the number one spot! Exactly what I was thinking. Spot on 👏🏻
Beast of gevaudan ??
I really want to see number 3. When you did a video about that movie. It gave me chills
You’re the true 🐐 of 🐐s Cogan!!!! The best werewolf expert in world history!!!
Lawrence Talbot from Wolfman might be my favorite. Super underrated werewolf and movie imo. I think the ones from Underworld might be #2. Appreciate the videos!
I would like to have thought on the following. In Twilight Eclipse, before the battle when they stared each other down and the wolfs appeared, I think what would have made the seen much better would have been werewolves from Under world coming out on the other side in alliance with the Cullen family.
Much love for you with this quality content❤
Real dogmen can move as fast or faster than you can move your eyes. So many who have seen them said they literally moved faster than they could see when they took off or was passing by them in the woods. My experience with them I did not get to see them, just seen the prints behind me, the woods had dry leaves everywhere yet they passed behind me without a sound, they were in the trees and dropped down to cross the path that cut between the trees making them have to come out of the trees to keep moving as the path cut a gap between the trees. They moved within 10-50 yards of me and I never heard them, there were at least 20 tracks about 10 feet wide with about 20+ tracks of paw prints larger than a dinner plate, I had a size 11 winter boot being over a foot long and I could put my foot inside the paw prints with inches on the end and back of my foot and about 5 inches or more to each side of my foot. They were HUGE. This happened at gourdneck state game area in portage Michigan around 2015-2016 fall bow hunting season.
This video made me watch the Underworld franchise and I love it!
I think that the werewolf from van helsing are the best werewolfs, aside from not being able to control them self they are number one in my book.
The werewolf vampire hybrid in underworld is awesome. need to see more of that.
I'm glad two of my favorite werewolves were on this list not only that. They were number 1 and 2
Lupins werewolf was one of my favorites and first werewolf I saw as a kid!
Would definitely love to see top werewolf from TV !!
I love werewolf movies, very good videos, love your channel 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The werewolves in Being Human (UK) definitely should be on this list, they're way stronger than the wolves from Harry Potter and the wolfman, with singular werewolves being able to take out multiple vampires including some of the strongest in the series. George forced himself to partially transform using a picture of a full moon, and went on to kill dozens of vampires despite slowly dying due to the partial transformation destroying his body
Definitely do a top 5 werewolves from TV. I love the way your interest in supernatural matches mine with all the nuances. Your content always makes me so excited
Totally agree. The lyrcans from underworld were so powerful
This ranking is solid. I can't speak on the twilight werewolves since I've only read the books and didn't watch the movies. Underworld Lycans are definitely #1.
I can't wait for ww from TV and anime. Also, it would be good to know who you considered and didn't make the cut.
