Werewolves can be found everywhere nowadays – movies, TV shows, books, comics, video games, and on and on. They have ravaged every format there is. With the countless werewolves out there it’s hard to choose your absolute favorite wolf – but I’m going to ask you to do so anyway. Bwahaha! So, who is your number one favorite werewolf character and why? Is it their powers, personality, or something else? Let us know in a comment below.
As for my favorite, well, mine isn’t the average werewolf by any means. My favorite wolf would have to be Vane Kattalakis from Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunters series. I love that her werewolves aren’t the classic kind, they aren’t even called werewolves. They are split up into two groups – the Arcadians and the Katagaria. Arcadians are born human and act human, once they hit puberty they then have the ability to shift into a wolf. Katagaria are born as wolves and think like wolves, they gain the ability to shift into human form once they reach puberty. They are more wolf than human. Vane is Katagaria turned Arcadian due to his genetics.
Vane is a total badass who can fight like a wolf and like a human. On top of that, he has incredible powers. Anyone who goes up against Vane dies. But what I really like about him it that while he is a big bad wolf, he is incredibly protective of his mate and his family.
And that is my favorite werewolf – Vane Kattalakis.
Now it’s your turn Dear Readers, out of all of the werewolves out there, which one is your favorite and why?

My favorite is still the classic Wolf Man as portrayed by Lon Chaney Jr. , though the main charatcter in our new concept album, Cyrus, ranks up there pretty high.
My favorite werewolf would be eddie quist from the howling. The transformation was awesome for an old movie it was the best!
My favorite werewolf is Jed from the Timber pack.
Either Lucian or Ginger(gotta love her devotion to family)
Velkan Valerious
Jon Talbain from the Darkstalkers video games. Don’t hate me.
George, from Being Human. The show not only explored the mythology and implications of werewolves in a really cool way, but did it with a damn good character — somebody smart, funny, endearing, and with a life outside of their “curse” that in the end made that curse more compelling. I can’t think of another work with a better balance of in-depth werewolf-based horror and strong, independent character development.
The Astounding Wolf-Man, since he handles his curse like a man.
Monroe I’m so surprised nobody said this already blutbads are badass GRIMM for life
My favorite werewolf must be Sam Huntington in Being Human. But I also stand between Benecio Del Toro in Wolfman and David Thewlis (Remus Lupin in Harry Potter)
Adam Hauptman from Patricia Briggs’ mercy Thompson series of books.
The real werewolf from my state…MICHIGAN DOG MAN!!
I would go with Bigby Wolf, from Fables…AWESOME character. 2 options for shifting, and a “charming” personality!
vanes arcadian but derrick hale from teen wolf
Clay from Kelly Armstrong’s Otherworld series
Conall Maccon from Gail Carriger’s Parasol Protectorate series.
Van Helsing definitley- but I also love the ones from Dog Soldiers… Kick ass movie :)
I’d have to go with Angua from the Discworld series.
Vivian Gandillon from Blood and Chocolate. I liked her attitude to be independant the best.
My favorite werewolf would have to be Remus J. Lupin from Harry Potter – Prisoner of Azkebahn – mainly for his warm and caring personality that is at such odds with his were-nature.
Van helsing and Remus Lupin. I mean the werewolves in Twilight looks more like natural wolves except the fur color and their size. A werewolf to me should be more half human, half wolf. Just sayin…
It is hard to say, I am going between The Astounding Wolf-Man a superhero that is a werewolfXD, Jon Talbain from Darkstalkers he’s awesome to play with and the erasers from the Maximum Ride series, even though they probably consider themselves as werewolves, maybe.
scott mcall from teen wolf the series
Van Helsing ( Just ’cause), Seth from Twilight ( He looks cool, for a twilight wolf)
Angua from the Discworld series without any doubt.
General Greymane he is a b/a worgen/werewolf in the w.o.w worgen comics. And of course William Corvinus looks awesome in underworld. The best werewolf I have seen in any movie. Too bad underworld made that superbad werewolf be so pathetic in his fighting skills against that crossbreed….that was sooo lame. Gooooo Lucian!!!
