Werewolves vs. Lycanthropes

While the term werewolf is the most well-known, it refers specifically to humans who transform into wolves under certain conditions, often linked to the moon. In contrast, lycanthrope is a broader term that encompasses all human-animal shapeshifters, regardless of the creature type.

So while every werewolf is a lycanthrope, not every lycanthrope is a werewolf—you could be a weretiger, a werebat, or even a werecrocodile.

This generator honors that wider mythology by offering names for many of the traditionally known lycanthropic types.
