It’s probably also worth adding that prior to the formalisation of the myths as we now understand them in the 19th century (thanks to authors like Polidori, le Fanu, and Stoker), there wasn’t necessary an obvious difference between a werewolf and a vampire. They were all kinda just evil unnatural creatures.
Cool point… kinda like how at first, there weren’t any punks or goths, they were just people into a certain kind of music, and dressing a certain way… and later they became contextualized…
