Inspired by this story, I have changed my avi for the time being! I am the Werewolf Priest!
The Werewolf Priest is a man, usually residing in a small village, usually impoverished. The Priest himself (and sometimes the village at large) suffer from a crisis of faith, brought about by some recent tragedy. Despite this, the Priest is a kind man and does good work in the community.
The location of the village in the story is usually remote and the Priest is required to travel some distance to service all his parishioners. On one such trip, the Priest is forced to camp overnight in a forest. During the night, he is attacked and bitten by a wolf. The Priest manages to fight the wolf off and returns to his village the following day. His wound is not severe and soon heals.
Soon afterwards, the Priest becomes plagued by strange dreams in which he transforms into a wolf and roams the local countryside. The dreams become steadily more vivid and violent; the Priest sees himself attacking local livestock and then people.
In his waking life, the Priest is suddenly re-energised and tackles his preaching duties with renewed vigour. He inspires the village and helps them overcome the recent tragedy, leading to a kind of spiritual rebirth for the local population.
The Priest then has a dream of himself killing a prominent local citizen. When this crime is replicated in real life, the Priest realises his dreams are real and he is cursed. At the same time, the newly inspired villagers embark on a religious crusade to hunt down the evil that has killed one of their own.
The story usually concludes with the Priest being killed by a local mob. In death, the terrifying wolf is transformed back into the beloved Priest, and the villagers weep as they realise who they have killed.
