- Werewolves live normal lifespans, age and die. Vampires are immortal and
- eternaly young. Werewolves are not fully in control of their transformations in
- most legends, whereas vampires are. Not to mention that a wide range of powers
- and supernatural abilities are attributed to vampires, but werewolves have only
- one or two,mostly focusing on transforming into a wolf and back. Vampires need
- to feed, yes, but they don't need to kill, nor must the blood nessesarily be
- human. There is also the underlying sensuality of being a vampire or a victim
- that tends to attract people and sell large quantities of Anne Rice novels.
- Being a werewolf would tend to seem like being a binge drinker to me: waking
- up in the morning sore and covered in blood,unable to remember what you did
- last night. Not to mention that hiding lycanthropy would seem tobe fairly
- difficult, even if you lived in the country, which you'd almost have to.
