Werewolves (Van Helsing - 2004)

Werewolves are one of the main monsters that appear in the 2004 film Van Helsing, alongside vampires and Frankenstein's Monster.

Van Helsing
The werewolves in the 2004 Van Helsing universe are the servants of Dracula himself, who had created them himself. Once a person had been bitten, they would have mere days before their transformation would begin. By their first full moon, a person would become a werewolf permanently, serving Dracula until their death. Unbeknownst to his enemies, Dracula had created a cure in case one of his werewolf minions decided to turn on him, as only a werewolf was able to truly kill him.

At the beginning of the movie, Dracula unleashed his werewolf to find and kill Anna and Velkan Valerious. Despite being able to trap this werewolf, it accidentally escapes. Velkan manages to kill the beast, but is bitten by it while they both fall off a cliff together.

After managing to fight off Dracula's wives, Anna is pursued by another werewolf, who is revealed to be Velkan. Velkan only has enough time to warn Anna of Dracula's plans, before transforming again. Luckily Van Helsing arrives and scares Velkan off. Velkan reverts a final time and discovers that Dracula had sacrificed his father for an experiment. Dracula incapacitates Velkan and plans to sacrifice him too. Later, Anna reaches Dracula's castle and tries to save Velkan, but he begins to transform again, this time permanently. Anna and Van Helsing escape, but Dracula sends Velkan to kill them both. After a carriage fight ensues, Van Helsing kills Velkan, but is bitten in the process.

After 3 days, Van Helsing plans to become a werewolf and use his curse to kill Dracula once and for all. While at first, Van Helsing is overpowered by Dracula in his true form, he eventually bests him, managing to break one of his wings. With his final transformation, Van Helsing kills Dracula. Anna arrives and attempts to use Dracula's cure on Van Helsing, but he attacks and ultimately kills her, although with her final breathe, the cure is injected into his werewolf form, curing him of his Lycanthropy.

Appearance
Werewolves in Van Helsing have the typical appearance of a movie humanoid werewolf: a tall, bulky build, sharp teeth and fangs, and the snout of a wolf. The werewolves in the movie all have different fur colours, most likely based on the hair colour of the one infected.
