The werewolf is a bloodthirsty monster from folklore, said to be a human who changes into a wolf during the full moon. Its heraldic depiction, as found in the crest of Kaylewaye, late-16th C., is that of a wolf with human hands instead of feet, and human ears [Bedingfeld 92].
The werewolf has no default posture; the illustration shows a werewolf passant reguardant.
