Out of all the mythical creatures in the world the most common and the most known mythical creatures are vampires and werewolves. And where there are vampires there are most likely going to be werewolves. So now let me tell you some of the similarities and differences between vampires and werewolves which you may or may not know.
Vampires and werewolves are both mythical beings created in the ancient times but have now become exceedingly popular in today’s day and age. This is because of the numerous novels, television shows and movies about them. Both, vampires and werewolves are creatures of darkness. People associate them with bloodshed and murder. Both vampires and werewolves kill human beings for their survival. Vampires drink human blood and werewolves eat human flesh to survive. Vampires and werewolves are super strong and super-fast. You cannot run from them because they are faster than you and you cannot hide from them because they can probably smell you out. Apart from this vampires and werewolves cannot be killed easily. They recover from any injury within seconds. But like all other creatures they have their own weaknesses. Vampires can be slowed down with an herb called vervain and for werewolves it is wolfsbane. A wooden stake in the heart will kill a vampire and a silver bullet to the heart will kill werewolf.
These two creatures are more different than similar. Firstly, vampires and werewolves are arch enemies. To become a vampire one has to die first. They have to die with vampire blood in their system and then when they are woken up from their death they need to feed on human blood in order to complete their transition. Anyone who wishes to be a vampire can become one. But becoming a werewolf is genetic. The werewolf gene has to be passed on to you to become a werewolf. So even if you do not want to become a werewolf and you have the werewolf gene in you, you will become one. Because the vampire has died before
