The werewolf or wolfman is another classic monster for Halloween. However, because of its animal nature, there can be some complications.
What is a Werewolf?
A werewolf is a human who turns into a wolf or wolf-like creature during a full moon. The "curse" can be passed on via a bite from a werewolf.
Tell-Tale Features:
The thing with werewolves is you can go for various levels of human vs animal features. A costume with more human features is easier to accomplish than a full-out animal suit. Prosthetics are common for this costume whether it is extra body hair or adding a snout. However, you could also go full or partial fursuit with this creature.
Another common interpretation is a bit more of the "cat lady" route where you add ears and a tail.
An untamed, wild aesthetic is the norm, but norms are just launching points for creative ideas.

Where to Start
Again, when Halloween rolls around, you are likely to find kits related to a werewolf costume. But it is also up to you how "wolfy" you want to go. The more animal features you want to include, the more time you will need.
