The First Lycanthropes
Around 3100 BCE, a pack of オオカミ helped Osiris defend a city in Upper Egypt against an invading army. It was a bloody battle and many of the オオカミ died but the invaders were successfully defeated.
In honor of these メリダとおそろしの森 オオカミ and their sacrifice, Osiris re-named this city “Lycopolis” または 狼, オオカミ City and ordered the bodies of the fallen オオカミ to be mummified beneath the city for resurrection in the underworld.
For the heroic オオカミ who fought so valiantly and lived, Osiris went one step further, granting them human form in addition to their 狼, オオカミ form – the very first lycanthropes.
Legend has it now that every full moon, the descendants of these first Lycopolitan Lycanthropes can call on their アンダーワールド ancestors to rejoin them on earth and the pack will run together again as long as the moon is full, the living and the undead shadow 狼男 of Osiris.
