Looking over this thread but am slightly surprised that now one has brought up the accumulating amount of Bad Wolf OC's.

Note how I said 'Bad Wolf OC's'.

It disappoints me because people just see wolves as the next Bad Wolf for some reason. There are many, many, many, many, MANY cultures and folklores that surround the wolf. Polish folklore, Russian folklore, Romanian folklore, Finnish folklore. The possibilities for an anthro wolf OC are just about endless. People should educate themselves on the cutlures and stories form all around the world because this whole "son, daughter, nephew of Mr. Badwolf" or whatever is getting overdone. You can only add so much sauce to bread before it gets stale.

What about the folklore of Gevadaun? That is an intensely interesting one whose potential can be explored.

What abou the Finnish folklore where a resentful wedding guest/family member curses the bride and turns her into a werewolf during ceremony!

There are a lot of these wolf OC's I've seen that have some serious high potential but they just get lost in the sea of  overdone  Next Big Bad Wolf OC's... :(
