"The wolf and the tiger"

[Khaaaaaaaan]

Λύκος (wolf) + άνθροπος (human [Ancient Greek but whatever]) = lycanthropy = Werewolves!

[mizinamo]

άνθρωπος is perfectly fine Modern Greek as well -- it's one of the hundreds if not thousands of words that have not changed (at least in spelling) in centuries.

[Alkimeer]

'Lycanthrope' or the more recognisable and modern term for 'werewolf' can be translated into Greek as 'Λυκάνθρωπος'. As well as a few other 'were-' animals that can be translated on Google like 'Αιχμάλοτος' for 'weretiger' and 'Πραξικόπημα' for werelion.

Shouldn't this be η τίγρης?

[Dimitra956826]

Actually, it's either ο τίγρης or η τίγρη ;D

The noun is the same, "ο/η τίγρης" ;)
