king who lived like an animal, which is interpreted by some as a form of lycanthropy. This account of King Nebuchadnezzar in the book of Daniel describes him being driven from people, living in the wild, and his body being covered in long hair and bird-like nails. Additionally, the Bible uses “wolves” metaphorically to describe people who are malicious or deceptive, such as false prophets, as in “wolves in sheep’s clothing”. 

• King Nebuchadnezzar: In Daniel 4, the king suffers a mental breakdown and is described as being driven from men, eating grass like an ox, and having hair “like eagles’ feathers” and nails “like birds’ claws,” which is often interpreted as a biblical reference to becoming wolf-like. 
• Metaphorical wolves: The Bible also uses the metaphor of a wolf to describe wicked or deceitful people. Jesus warns his followers to “beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15). 
• Tribe of Benjamin: The Old Testament also uses a wolf as a symbol for the tribe of Benjamin, referring to them as a “ravenous wolf” in Genesis 49:27. 

Werewolves and angels are classic mythological creatures that appear in various forms, often in literature and popular culture, such as in stories about hybrids or in the roles they play in a battle between good and evil. Angels represent divine or heavenly beings, while werewolves are often associated with a cursed, wild, or demonic nature, although some folktales depict them in a more positive light, such as werewolves as “Hounds of God” battling demons. 

Angels

• Symbolism: Often seen as divine messengers or warriors for good, representing heaven, light, and order.
• Powers: Can include flight, super strength, and divine light or energy.
• Role in lore: Frequently act as benevolent or avenging figures in religious and mythological contexts, though fallen angels can represent evil. 

Werewolves

• Symbolism: Represent a duality between human and animal, order and chaos, often linked to the moon, wild nature, and a curse.
• Powers: Involve shape-shifting, increased strength, and speed, often tied to the lunar cycle.
• Role in lore: Typically portrayed as a curse or punishment, but some rare myths describe them as protectors, such as werewolves fighting demons in folklore. 

Hybrids and interactions

• Hybrids: In fantasy, the combination of angel and werewolf creates a powerful hybrid with abilities from both sides, such as flight, enhanced strength, and a healing factor.
• Contrasting roles: In many stories, angels and werewolves are set up as opposing forces, reflecting the classic conflict between good and evil, light and darkness.
• Shared narratives: Both types of creatures have been explored together in a vast number of books, and games, with some narratives focusing on the conflict between them and others on the idea of a hybrid individual.
