This is the werewolf that terrorised and savagely mutilated civilians back in the 1764 in the south central regions of France. The attacks were increasingly brutal and the victims include women and children, the victims have their vital organs & hearts rip out. The inhabitants of Le Gevaudan believed that the monster was of supernatural origin and is invincible, it was later came to be known as the Beast of Gevaudan. There are many speculations and theories of the origin of this beast, but I chose to believe that it was a werewolf that did those killings. This one of the first sketch that I've done recently and if you look closely, you'll realise something is not quite right with the eyes; well it's a were-beast and its face is suppose to be distorted anyway.

Intersetingly enough,the Lycanthrope in question,and this is according to the account in it's entirety,was finally brought down by a hired hunter who had the foresight to 'be prepared';he slew the Beast with a consecrated silver bullet fired from his musket.

No really ! The beast of Gevaudan has never been a weasel ! You can trust me, it's a french girl who tells you it. I pass very much summer holidays in the place of the old Gevaudan and this 'legend' has impassioned me very much.
It said to be a wolf but many studies have made funny theories or hypothesis of evil and some other stupid things.
There is a french movie about this story which has been made a few years ago. It 's named 'Brotherhood of wolf' ('Le pacte des loups' in french). This producer has a different vision : a political manipulation of the nobility to weaken the power of the king and who had inter-bred a hyena with another dangerous animal to threaten people.
I won't go on much but if you want, you can ask me questions. No problems of it, this topic is one of my favorite.

discovery channel did a special on this. they went back into the history books and found that the subject, "werewolf", was shot and killed and sent to some museam in Europe. They found that taxadermed subject. It was a long haired Hyena. Check it out, factoid.
