Mistletoe, wolfsbane, or maybe some wreaths of sage will also work in a pinch. Everyone knows that a silver bullet is sure to do the trick against a werewolf ready to bite your head off, right? Well, that might not necessarily be the case. It seems quicksilver, or liquid metal mercury, might have been the metal the alchemists of old used against the fabled monsters, not real silver. Or not, since mercury is really toxic. Your choice. Tales of werewolves have been around for ages.
In ancient Greece, rumors had it that King Lycaon , a very ruthless king, could've been the progenitor of werewolves not Fenrir, as legend had it in Scandinavia. The king responded by serving Zeus a feast of human flesh, and tried to turn him into a cannibal. For his terrible misdeeds, Zeus transformed King Lycaon into a wolf. Because wolfsbane is a member of the buttercup family, I find it amusing that big, scary werewolves can be brought to bay by such a plant; in reality it is not a plant to be trifled with, as ingestion by humans or animals is harmful or sometimes fatal.
Known also as European Monkshood, care must be taken that children, pets and livestock do not ingest the plant or its roots. In myth, many things become larger than life, and the affect wolfsbane has on werewolves varies from myth to myth. To keep things confusing, in those already cursed by lycanthropy, its use is reported to delay or even prevent the cyclical transformation to a werewolf or other animal.
Rye is another plant used to combat dread creatures, but not necessarily because of the plant itself. Rather, Ergot, a fungus that grows on rye and causes convulsions, hallucinations or death is more likely the reason rye was thought to be powerful enough to repel a werewolf.
Should you find yourself traipsing through the moonlight when the Wolfman appears, dash into a field of rye and you should be safe.

In addition to the pack leader, another mainstay of the werewolf pack is the pack mother. Almost always a female, the pack mother is the primary caretaker of the pack. The pack mother is also the spiritual leader of the pack; providing guidance, perspective, and a stable ever-loving presence. Aged pack mothers will pass on their responsibilities of every-day pack maintenance to younger women and recede into the background as Grandmothers, the mystics, and oracles of the werewolf race.
Much of werewolf society is organized into tribal groupings. A tribe consists of a bunch of packs affiliated by blood or alliance. Tribes don't usually live together but do gather periodically to reaffirm bonds and discuss important issues. Each tribe, in one form or another, is nominally ruled over by a council of elders made up of the most powerful pack leaders and pack mothers within the tribe. Werewolves are demihumans who are granted superhuman abilities by their lycanthropy.
Werewolves' powers and abilities are enhanced and are at their peak during the time under a full moon. When angered, these abilities are temporarily enhanced; these abilities are common to all three types of werewolves.
Even in human form, they appear to possess all of these abilities, though not as powerful as other supernatural creatures. Some werewolves have shown the ability to sense illness and, in one case, the onset of an epileptic seizure. This seems to be due to a combination of their "Heightened Senses" working in concert on a subconscious level.
