Werewolf characters in supernatural and gothic anime are just as fascinating, although being less common than vampires or witches. Werewolves are frequently secondary characters in vampire-centric anime, but other shows make them the major subject.
Some werewolf characters are genetically altered, while others are mixtures of vampires and werewolves. While in certain anime, werewolves can transform at any time, in real life, they normally transform into wolves at the full moon. Superhuman strength, the ability to use magic, and enhanced hunting skills are common werewolf characteristics in anime. They are usually at enmity with humans, just as vampires.
