Wolf people?

[Tarrasque Wrangler]

My girlfriend was telling me that there's a group of goth-like people who apparently believe they are wolves. They have meetings and howl-ins and go around in packs and other such fun. They even go so far as to walk around on tip-toes. She said that she heard they were called ferions or therions or something like that, but a google search came up empty. Has anyone heard of this particular sub-culture?

They would be therianthropes (sp?), or perhaps furries depending on what aspect of that subculture that happened to be into.

Unusual.... Searching on therianthropes does turn up a lot. Here is one from answers.com to get you started...

Last year there was a thread about the same kind of neurotics who believe they actually are vampires and thus suck blood (among themselves) and other such idiocies.

Perhaps she visited a LARP of werewolf players.

I was going to say - sounds like a few people got a little too "in to" a different World of Darkness game that one usually expects (Vampire being the most commonly identified game for "Goths who take it too seriously").

OT alert! Hey, IronWolf! Cool new avatar! That pic rocks.

This is probably the situation. I know only of one person in a Vampire (WoD) LARP that actually thinks he is a vampire.

Wait - San Jose? The Vampire Chad?

I knew a guy in college that thought he was a vampire as well. He even went so far to buy a coffin for his bed. Yeah...I was only over there once...
