Corridor, popularly known as Lobushome (not be confused with the generic Galicia), is also cursed by being the last of seven children of the same sex, the curse containing the variant that occurs when processing the roll naked bed of an animal, or their urine (usually a wolf, wild boar and other dangerous beast, though rarely, there are runners nicer transformed into cows or pigs). They go every Friday, 7 sources, 7 bridges, 7 mountains and 7 villages, before the dawn light, also, shed their blood with a sharp object, gives back to humanity, and be sponsored by their siblings, ends curse.

Finally, we have the Aloba, one whose skin the wolf, "has grown in," is nothing more than mentally unbalanced he believes to be an animal, or be possessed by the almost the entirety of actual cases of lycanthropy, could fit into this category.
