According to Sabine Baring-Gould's seminal work "The Book of Were-wovles," the transformation into a werewolf varies depending upon culture. Throughout history & culture & folklore the cause could be due to any of the following: 1. A curse from the gods, as in the case of legendary Arcadian King Lycaon who offended Zeus with his cruelty and was subsequently transformed into a werewolf. He is considered the first werewolf in history as the term "Lycan" is a derivative of his name. 2. A deliberate "beserker" rage or psychosis brought on by the donning of a wolf's skin. This was common among Northern cultures that used the psychological forboding of the wolf to intimidate their enemies. In clinical psychology this is referred to as lycanothropy, a medical state that apparently was not too uncommon in early European history. 3. Magical shapeshifting ability learned from a spell or an inherent/genetic ability. Related to this is the ability to make others believe you have transformed into a werewolf while actually maintaining one's original human form. 4. In certain South American cultures (Brazil, Argentina) they believed that the 7th son would become a lobizon (Latin werewolf). The superstition varies between the 7th son after 6 straight sons (no daughters) or the 7 son after 6 daughters, but the fear was real and during the 1900s many 7th sons were abandoned or murdered. To stop this practice, in Argentina the 7th son is officially the Godchild of the President, receives a gold medal at their baptism and free education until the age of 21. 5. Accidental or deliberate consumption of human flesh resulting in lycanothropy. So, it's very possible to become a werewolf without being bitten depending upon which mythological tradition you choose to draw from. Hollywood has also shown us many inventive origins of the werewolf from the attack of the young man in "American Werewolf in London," the genetic inheritance featured in "Skinwalkers" and "Blood and Chocolate" to the shapeshfiting abilities of the indigenous people in the sequel to Twlight ("New Moon"). One might even argue that Wolverine from the X-men is suffering from psychological lycanthropy. What's wonderful about the werewolf mythos is that it's so less romanticized and formulaic than that of the vampire that you can really make it your own.
There are multiple ways to become a werewolf without getting bitten.
WARNING: IF YOU ARE A WEREWOLF DO NOT DRINK WOLFBANE!!!!!!!!!!!
Those are just a few ways.
i your in a movie yes. in real life no you will not.
Lycanthropy is hereditary. That means it's passed down through family, and only manifests in certain individuals. You cannot become a werewolf any other way.
In modern mythology, it is spread by being bitten by a werewolf.
maybe by being bitten by wolf you can become a werewolf not sure
A human becomes a werewolf when s/he is bitten by another werewolf. But in most cases a werewolf is born into being a werewolf. A Vampire becomes a werewolf when s/he is bitten by a werewolf and then that werewolf smashes the Vampires head in. The reason I know is because I am a Were-vamp(Werewolf/Vampire) And I am The youngest out of my "tribe"(pack).I am 11 years old. I swear on my first born child's education that every thing I said is true.
According to legend, a person would become a werewolf after either being placed under a curse or afflicted (bitten or scratched) by another werewolf. It was also believed that a person could voluntarily become a werewolf by removing all of their clothing and putting on a belt made of wolf skin.
You cannot become a werewolf no matter what means are used. They are fictional creatures. According to the legend, one must be bitten by a werewolf to become one.

The full moon makes him become a werewolf. Hence his nickname being "Moony" by his friends. Also, he was bitten, before he went to Hogwarts, by Fenrir Greyback, who was a vicious werewolf, hell-bent on creating as many of his own kind as possible, and biting children as much as possible.

Werewolves under go sexual reproduction just as humans or wolves typically would. Also, werewolves can be created from a human being bitten by a werewolf or from a human having sex with a werewolf. A human will only become a werewolf during sex if the werewolf wills the human to change.

You cant,you must do the companions quest in order to become a werewolf. Its the only way,however there is a way to become an alpha werewolf,which instead of being black, you are white and feared by all other werewolves.
Well, if you try to run, it'll probably catch you. If you don't, it'll probably still catch you. And just before it eats you, you'll wake up from your dream. Werewolves don't exist, so you won't be attacked by any.
