Name : lobis-homems, lobh omen, bruxsa or cucubuth

Behavior : whereas the bruxsa or cucubuth is a type of vampire-werewolf, consuming both flesh and blood, lobis-homems are usually  gentle and non-attacking creatures.

Once fallen under a spell, the lobis-homem would attend a crossroad at night to become a wolf after groveling on the dirt. Then the creature would run into the countryside, howling out loud, without hurting anyone.

A shy and sad creature, the Portuguese lobis-homem could be easily recognized, for it was a wolf with a short and yellow-furred tail. Another far less-common type was the evil and devilish variety linked directly to the black arts of witchcraft.

Evil lobis-homems could be recognized by the shape of their eyes and sometimes because of the presence of the Devil's mark in some part of the body.
