Werewolves have long been feared as ferocious and bloodthirsty monsters, becoming staples of horror and dark fantasy stories. But Irish mythology tells of a line of werewolves called the Faoladh, who maintained their human intelligence in beast form and used their powers to protect the innocent! In many ways, these Irish werewolves acted as the bridge between man and beast, and paganism and Christianity!
