Do werewolves shed? Or do they lose their whole coat when transferring back? Do Vampires have little holes in their K9s to suck up the blood after puncturing someone or thing?

  My impression is that the werewolf transformation is entirely magical and not governed by real-world effects: one moment, the moon is out and you suddenly grow fur, a snout and uncontrollable predatory instincts, and when it’s over, the fur recedes/disappears, your facial geometry is restored and you just feel inexplicably tired. It’s conceivable that you’d shed some hair, which presumably wouldn’t magically vanish once it’s not attached to you, though.

  As for vampires, I thought they just used their incisors to puncture their victims and then just sucked their blood out. Their teeth being plumbed into a vacuum pump seems somewhat too complicated.

  Depends on the media.

  In The Quarry, for example, they do shed at transformstion. But they shed the human part. Violently.

  In some stories the werewolves shed their human skin. If you steal it you have power over them.

    Do they need to find it and put it back on to transform back, or does that involve them shedding their wolf pelt and emerging in human form from within it?

      They can’t turn back, and depending on the story either they must now follow your commands or they will kill to get it back.

    Like a reverse selkie. Speaking of Fae, the werewolves of Ossory are neat.
