Wolf Men
Giraldus Cambrensis tells us (Opera, vol.
v. p. 119) that Irishmen can be “changed into wolves.”
Nennius asserts that the “descendants of wolves are still in
Ossory,” and “they retransform themselves into wolves
when they bite.” (Wonders of Eri,
xiv.)
These Ossory men-wolves are of the race of Laighne
Fxlaidh.
