So it is time for the general Wowhead population to finally chose:
Vampires
or
Werewolves
.
I am basing my knowledge of Vampires & Werewolves off of the
Twilight Saga
by Stephenie Meyer and
Underworld
.
Werewolves / Lycanthropes
Image is a Werewolf as portrayed in Underworld
Humans with the ability to shape-shift into wolf-like creatures. They are given this "gift" by either being bitten/scratched by another Werewolf, or by being placed under a curse. Transformation is usually activated because of the full moon, but more and more stories and movies are portraying them as being able to transform at will.
Werewolves are given extra-human senses, strength, and size. They grow fur all over their body, and begin to feel a change as they become monstrous.
Werewolves have the look of a normal day-by-day pedestrian. Most have brown hair, and it is usually short(er), shaggy, and messy. They have about the same agility as vampires, but are not as perfect looking.
Vampires
Image is Vampires as portrayed in Twilight
Humans who exist by feeding on the blood of living animals, humans, and other beings. They are given this "gift" by being bitten by another vampire, but not fully being consumed by them. When the poison of another Vampires teeth falls into the blood of another human, they are changed into a vampire. Many people, books, and movies show that vampires can shape-shift (as werewolves do) at will into bats. More and more stories and movies are portraying vampires to be
just
humans, with no special shape-shifting abilities to speak of.
Vampires are given superhuman sight, smell, strength, durability, hearing, and dexteritiy. They do not change when they need to call upon these powers, but have them when they appear as humans, unlike werewolves who must shape-shift.
Vampires have the look of a "god" or "goddess". They are portrayed as perfect-skinned, beautiful, and stunning. Some moves and books (Twilight) have gone as far as showing them as
glistening
in the sunlight. They are much more perfect looking than any other person, and move with the greatest agility.
My Opinion
Well, I have
always
been for
Werewolves
. They are my favorite by far.
My friends and family all say that if there were actual werewolves and vampires, I would be a werewolf. My personality, looks, and just overall I am a werewolf rather than a vampire, thus I like them much better.
Your Opinion
Well, what is your opinion? Do you like vampires better than werewolves? Werewolves better than vampires?
Do you agree/disagree with some of my points and information? Tell me everything :)
Thanks for reading,

Well, if your asking what do we think we are out of the two, I'd say my personality is like a vampire. Sly, cunning, persuades easily.
But I'd say I like werewolves the most imo, I just like them.

Sorry, try again later when you pick a source that doesn't fail so hard.

I hate Twilight as much as anybody. My girlfriend told me I should be more like Edward. @#$% that <_<
I asked you guys:

Underworld was good though. Anyways, they're pretty similar in Underworld - however if we're going with the insanely powerful at night werewolf like Van Hellsing, or any other werewolf lore, werewolf definitely wins in a fight, but vampires are superior because their power is at will and controllable.

Vampires win.
They have Lucifer on their side.

I agree, Twilight was a crap series and an even crappier movie.

Why not base your knowledge of vampires on Dracula or something?

If you want to give me a brief summary (like I did) of what vampires in Dracula are like, then go ahead =)
This weekend, and the next couple of weekends, I am going to be watching a
lot
of Vampire / Werewolf movies, starting with Underworld tonight (to re-cap =P)
Next weekend will probably be Dracula.

Gonna say now, Twilight is the
worst
depiction of vampires. Ever. Honestly, use Dracula or even Interview With a Vampire, if you want info on them.
Also, I'm all for vampires, but I do really like Lycans/Werewolves too.
(Interview With A Vampire is actually a really good movie.)

I think the average
Dracula
vampire could be taken down by like 3 guys, or killed alone by a vampire hunter. Only Dracula himself was really a powerful vampire, everyone else were essentially zombies, if I remember correctly.

They possessed lesser strength then Dracula, yes, but I believe it was the people Dracula himself turned were more powerful than those pawns they created.

You people are basing your opinions on relatively knew vampire lore. Let me tell you how it really goes down.
Count Dracula was the first vampire. In life, he was a cruel person, found of cannibalism and torture, when he died, he did not want to go to Hell, so he made a deal with Lucifer. Dracula would live eternal life, and have great power, the protection of Lucifer, and in return he'd wander the Earth looking for more subjects to come into Satan's ranks.
So, yeah, Vampires > Werewolfs.

The Vampires have the devil on their side, can't beat it, I suppose.

Dracula was a bad ass, but that was because he had black magic. Werewolves were more serious than your average vampire though - they were much stronger and you needed silver to kill them, if they scratched you they would inflict the curse upon you, and most of the time werewolves lived normal lives when not transformed so you wouldn't know who was or wasn't werewolf.
Here's the deal - If I had to be one or the other I'd be a vampire, but I'd be more frightened of being killed by a werewolf than a vampire if both existed.
