WHO INVENTED WOLFSBANE POTION FULL
If two werewolves mate at the full moon, in their animal forms, something very strange happens. Werewolves cannot pass on lycanthropy to their children, and so if having a child with a human partner no lupine tendencies will occur, as noted with Teddy Lupin, son of Remus and Nymphadora Tonks. However, the fresh wound can be sealed with a mixture of powdered silver and dittany. Any bite or scratch obtained from a werewolf, whether in human or animal form, will leave permanent scars. If a werewolf is in human form and bites the victim, they will merely gain lupine tendencies such as a fondness for rare meat.
Most Muggles, however, will die from the extent of their injuries in the instance of a werewolf attack as noted by Professor Marlowe Forfang. Lycanthropy is a magical illness known to be spread by contact between saliva and blood thus, when a transformed werewolf bites a human, the bitten will become a werewolf themselves. " I did not know, for a very long time, the identity of the werewolf who had attacked me I even felt pity for him, thinking that he had had no control, knowing by then how it felt to transform." - Remus Lupin Despite this, they are able to recall everything they have experienced throughout their transformation upon reverting to their human form.
Ī werewolf cannot chose whether or not to transform and will no longer remember who they are and would kill even their best friend given the opportunity once transformed. The Wolfsbane Potion, invented by Damocles, allows the werewolf to keep their human mind during transformation. Werewolves appear in the form of a wolf but, there are distinctions between them and regular wolves.Ī mixture of powdered silver and dittany applied to a fresh bite will seal the wound and allow the victim to live on as a werewolf, although tragic tales are told of witches and wizards begging for death rather than becoming werewolves. This condition is caused by infection with lycanthropy, also known as werewolfry. " You have only ever seen me amongst the Order, or under Dumbledore's protection at Hogwarts! You don't know how most of the wizarding world sees creatures like me! When they know of my affliction, they can barely talk to me!" -Werewolf Remus Lupin Ī werewolf is a human being who, upon the complete rising of the full moon, becomes a fearsome and deadly near- wolf.
