From a cinematic/storytelling point-of-view, the term 'werewolf' is generally used when the creature itself is a quadruped, resembling a wolf more than a human. 'Wolfman' tends to be used when the creature is bipedal and still roughly-humanoid, usually (much like the Hulk) with it's modesty still miraculously covered by what's left of its shirt and trousers. All-in-all, they're intended to be same thing, it just depends on the author/director's particular vision; I'm not aware of any continuity where both versions co-exist.

There is no difference between the two terms. The word 'were' derives from the word 'wer' meaning man. This makes the literal translation of 'werewolf' as 'manwolf'. This is pretty much the same as saying wolfman.

What is the difference between lycans and werewolves?

Apparently Lycan inherit their condition, being in a line of descent from King Lycon unless there bitten from another Lycan which soon after they will inherit it. They seen to lack the rage of the typical werewolf and can change on demand. With the werewolf they still have part of a human body and not as strong and have to change on a full moon. While Lycan's are stronger and fast with no apart human body look.Lycans are born into being a werewolf, only they are not proper werewolves if you like the originals, as lycans can choose when they change, werewolves on the other hand are born human, but then turned into a werewolf by another werewolf, and they change when the moon is full or whenever the change occurs, depending on which stories you want to believe are true.

When do werewolves become a werewolf?

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.
