Lac-Noir (Werewolf Transformation)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Here are 17 new items for you. They cover Halloween and the month of October, so naturally this update has lots of werewolves in it.

And here's something to be thankful for: a good live-action werewolf transformation accomplished with practical effects!

Lac-Noir is a French-language horror series from Quebec that deals with a community of werewolves. In episode six of the second season a transformation occurs. 

The set-up: Jade has accidentally infected her boyfriend Dave with lycanthropy. She is able to repress her wolf side with medication but this isn't an option for Dave, so she comforts him as the full moon rises. Dave's mother waits anxiously outside as the transformation begins:

Many thanks to Noodles on our Discord Server for locating video sources.

Capwolf and the Howling Commandos (Werewolf Transformations)

When Captain America first transformed into a werewolf during the '90s it was considered an embarrassment, but the idea never went away. And now Capwolf and the Howling Commandos has fully embraced it. The comic is set in World War II and shows Captain America fighting Nazi werewolves.

In the first issue he gets ambushed by them:

And he gets scratched by one:

In the next issue we see the Nazis creating more werewolves:

 

The same werewolf reverts at sunrise:

 

The Nazis create more werewolves to combat Capwolf:

There's Something About Movies (Werewolf Transformations)

Our thanks to "Fatwerewolf" for suggesting this video on our Discord server. There's Something About Movies is a British comedy panel show. In the first episode of season four, two panelists recreate the famous transformation scene from An American Werewolf in London. They do a decent job, which raises a question...

If it's possible to achieve such effects on a British panel show, why do so many higher-budget American programs fail at werewolf transformations? Perhaps in the UK practical effects are cheaper than CGI.

Incredible Hulk 5-6 (Hulk Transformations & Muscle Growth)

Some new material from the two most recent issues of the ongoing Marvel comic.

A reversion from issue 5:

 

A gory transformation from the next issue (which came out this week):

Requiem for the Living (Werewolf Transformation)

Our thanks to Noodles for posting this video on our Discord server. It's described as "A Marauders Animation," so I assume it deals with Harry Potter characters I know next to nothing about:

Ragna Crimson (Dragon Transformation)

In the first episode of this anime, the hero Ragna is bestowed power from his future self when he confronts the villainous Grymwelte, who retaliates by transforming into a dragon:

The Ancient Magus' Bride (Wolf Transformation)

A double feature...

Issue 20 of the Italian comic Mytico retells the myth of Lycaon, who tried to kill Zeus and was punished. He gave his name to lycanthropy:

Volume five of the French comic Enola & Les Animaux Extraordinarires guest-stars a teenage werewolf:

Victor and Valentino (Dragon Transformation)

In the series finale Sal remembers who he is, the Aztec god, Quetzalcoatl, and transforms into his draconic form to fight his brother:

He reverts in the next issue:

There's also a flashback to how Randall became a werewolf:

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Wolf Transformation)

Monsters and men & bonus (Werewolf transformation and Muscle Growth)

GARO (Monster Transformations & Muscle Growth)

Our thanks to Ian Ricky for providing these clips from Japanese TV. 

From episode 9 of GARO: Gold Storm Sho, here is a monster possession scene:

Fright Krewe (Werewolf Reversion and Transformation)

In the second episode, Lou reveals he is a Rougarou (derived from "Loup Garou," French for werewolf) when he saves Missy's life. In the next episode she recovers but develops an unfortunate craving, and Lou is there to help her:

Tales of The Titans (Whale & Werewolf Transformations)

Issue 4 starts with Beast Boy reverting from whale to human form:

He surfaces and encounters an unusual wolf:

The wolfman turns out to be Anthony Lupus, the DC comics werewolf who first appeared in 1974. You can see his earlier transformations here and also here.

Lupus captures Beast Boy and uses him to try and create a cure for lycanthropy. It doesn't go well:

"After Dark", "Time and Time Again", "The Hammer", and "The Werewolf Prince" (Werewolf Transformations)

Some werewolf transformations from four webtoons:

In After Dark episode nine, Drew wakes up from a nightmare and enters a real one (the transformation concludes in episode 12).

Further lycanthropy can be found in episode 37 of Time and Time Again.

Episode three of The Hammer delivers another werewolf.

Last but not least, The Werewolf Prince has a transformation that starts on page 45.
