Talk:Were

Silver

Did Greg really say that werepanthers and Fox/werefox are vulnerable to silver? I don't want to dispute what somebody more knowledgeable dug up, it's just that I searched the Ask Greg archives and can't find it myself. - Vaevictis Asmadi

It actually appears in canon, in the episode Ill Met By Moonlight. Elisa asks how to defeat Oberon by suggesting they use silver, but Katharine comments that "silver is for vamps and weres". -- Supermorff 02:22, 7 March 2007 (CST)

Well, Katherine was just stating a common piece of folklore. We don't know that she was correct. In any case that piece of folklore is applied to European werewolves, but I don't know that it appears in any African wereleopard legends. -Vaevictis Asmadi
