Who would win??
 
this is a fight to the death who's side do you pick???
werewolf vs vampire

I pick werewolf because they are stronger and able to attack and hunt vampires in the daylight as well as the night!

Werewolves easy





Although I may not be viewed as impartial

ferretchucker 05-09-2009 01:36 PM

Werewolves only have a few hours every twenty eight days, but for the sake of argument I'll assume it's that night.

I would say the werewolf has a lot more power and could inflict a hell of a lot of damage, although it depends on the "rules" as such. If the werewolf is a mindless beast it could be tricked easily, and if the vampire could turn into a bat/ vanish/ could only be killed by a stake to the heart, it has a lot going for it.

I'm gonna say werewolf, but as I said, it depends on the "type" of werewolf/ vampire they are.

Doc Faustus 05-09-2009 02:23 PM

Werewolves easily. Especially werewolves from the World of Darkness games.

The_Return 05-09-2009 05:15 PM

Depends on if this is just a mano-a-mano brawl, or an ongoing feud.

If we're talking hand to hand combat, the vampire is fucked, no questions asked. But if he has time to wait things out, the werewolf is out of luck.

crabapple 05-09-2009 09:14 PM

Both are tough and good with their claws and fangs. When werewolves and vampires tangle, they generally both walk away, but everything in the room/house/castle is wrecked and the furniture isn't even good enough for the Goodwill store. There's usually lots of tufts of fur all over everything, too. It's like two cats fighting...a lot of MRRRRROWWWW HISSSSSSS and then WHAP! WHAP! WHOOPAH!

bwind22 05-09-2009 09:18 PM

I'm surprised by the answers so far.

You guys all think a werewolf would beat a vampire? What are you? Retarded?

Vampires has super human strength, the ability to fly and the ability to reason.

Werewolves are essentially very large, wild animals that would never be able to figure out how to kill a vampire.

Vampire would kill a werewolf without any trouble at all. In fact, I'd go so far as to say a vampire could probably kill a whole pack of werewolves without much trouble.

neverending 05-09-2009 10:18 PM

Just think if the werewolf bit the vampire- he could turn into a vampiric werewolf. I'm surprised this has never been done before. Or has it? Or vice versa- say a vampire bites a werewolf in its human form, and the next night it happens to be a full moon...

_____V_____ 05-09-2009 10:22 PM

Howling VI had such a scene of a werewolf biting a vampire. However, nothing happened.

I think NE just gave an idea to the makers of Underworld, for their fourth flick.

As regards the debate, I ll deviate from the rest and say vampire. Never seen a werewolf make a beeline for a vampire's heart with a stake, plus the ability to turn into rats, smoke/mist, bats etc. makes the vampire pretty formidable.

However fast the werewolf may be, the vampire is a smarter creature.

neverending 05-09-2009 10:27 PM

And if a vampire had a silver dagger, he could stab & kill a werewolf.

I am forced to back world of Darkness on this one myself. Very fleshed world, with some very powerful vampires but one on one, Werewolves tear vampires into teeny little bits.

Technically speaking the vampires are much more deadly, they control most aspects of the world and werewolves tend to linger on the outskirts but in a typical bloodthirsty battle the wolfies come up trumps.

bwind22 05-09-2009 10:41 PM

No offense to anyone in particular.

Seriously, some of you are very cool, in general terms. But besides V & NE, the rest of you happen to to be retarded on this issue.

I know, I know... It's a lighthearted internet poll, but honestly...

You're retarded.

A werewolf could kill a vampire? Seriously?




The fact that anyone can actually entertain that concept is just plain retarded.

Like I mentioned and that being said... some of you are cool. I don't think you are tards , but on this particular issue, I do think your viewpoint/opinion is crazy to the point of stupidity/retardation.






(*Disclaimer: No offense to the real retards of the world. I'm sure the majority of you could correctly determine the victor of this battle.)

Exactly. A vampire is in control of its senses, a werewolf isnt. Its just a killing machine (ala the Alien).

The one thing which makes the vampire more deadly than the werewolf is its ability to think and reason, IMO. Besides all those which I stated earlier.

If the lycanthrope had eaten a slice of garlic bread before changing into wolf form and then breathes on the vampire, that would destroy him.

The way I imagined this was a cage fight to the death between the werewolf in full form and the vamp and there is only one winner. Sure, there is reason versus instinct which is a fair point, but I just cant see the power and violence of the wolf being matched.

Its quite a good question really, but you would have to determine which 'rules' are used, by that I mean which supernatural powers does each have as you could debate over that for a while.



@bwind: I am soooooooooo not a 'tard, man ;)

neverending 05-10-2009 01:53 AM

I wasn't thinking along the lines of a "cage match" but more if these beings came in contact with each other in their lives- what could happen. All sorts of possibilities.

I'm thinking more about my previous question, and might do something with that- imagine a werewolf also possessed by bloodlust- or a vampire with bestial characteristics...

The original Dark Shadows has a vampire and a werewolf- to bad they never fought each other.

I remember playing an RPG, called Vampire I think, where if the vamp had been attacked by a werewolf they couldnt heal the wounds. They had to ingest alot of blood to recover and I think that was in my mind.

The fact the Underworld films arent being referenced says alot about them!

crabapple 05-10-2009 05:41 AM

Guys, *everyone knows* that when werewolves and vampires fight, the vampire goes into a feral mode, causing it to lose a portion of its reasoning power. Werewolves are pretty fast, and "thinking" doesn't help the vampire much in these situations.

Plus, no one has stopped to consider that vampires and werewolves are TOTALLY FICTIONAL and you could make up any old rules you want for them. Therefore, vampires and werewolves = totally cool monsters.

Werewolves are only sometimes in wolf form.

True. And in human form, he is no match.

Another point in favor of the vampire.

And even in the feral state, the vampire does not stop thinking with reasoning completely. When it is a fight to the death or when its cornered with no other way to beat its opponent, the vampire will do everything in its power to survive.

I forgot another key power of the vampire - hypnosis. It can be very effective, especially when the werewolf gets powerless when the moon goes down.

It all comes down to brains vs brawn in the end, IMO. And there, the vampire has the larger slice of the cake.

Aw, heck, an angry chimp would beat the hell out of both of them. The chimp would take the vampire out first--he would grab the vampire's arm as the vampire was reaching for him, and swing the vampire right into the nearest wall, impaling him on the broken boards sticking out of the wall. Then it would shove a silver candlestick down the werewolf's throat. Then it would jump up and down on both of them and screech a lot. ;)

bwind22 05-10-2009 09:16 AM

The parallels between Vampire vs. Werewolf and Bruce Lee vs. Angry Chimp are uncanny. I never looked at it like that but it's true & I'm glad it was pointed out.

Just like I'm sure Bruce Lee would fuck up an Angry Chimp, a Vampire would fuck up a Werewolf.

if it came down to a melee confrontation in the dead of night between a werewolf in wolf form and a vampire, the werewolf would possibly lose, but werewolves can stake a vampire during the day. The capacity to engage in daylight operations is important. Human beings kill vampires all the time in movies because of the capacity to exploit this vulnerability and as werewolves are essentially human, they too can. Vampires can be killed by several things, werewolves can be killed by one. Werewolves can be repulsed by wolfsbane, vampires can be repulsed by crosses, garlic and running water. The werewolf is the stronger contender. And if a vampire confronts a werewolf during the fullmoon, the vampire will probably get mauled to the point of paralysis and torn limb from limb. Hypnosis on an 8 foot tall rampaging wolfgod? Come on! There isn't enough mind to control during this time.

ferretchucker 05-10-2009 10:47 AM

Wow. Crabapple made probably the most sensible post (#17) in the thread. I feel so...dirty.

:p

In a cage fight I'd say a Werewolf.

In a fight through a town I'd say a Vampire.


As a human I'd rather be up against a Vampire. You could implore them to turn you into a creature of the night. With a werewolf you have no chance.

massacre man 05-10-2009 11:56 AM

Well, in a "fight to the death" the werewolf would automatically win, since vampire's are already dead, right?

Posher778 05-10-2009 12:39 PM

Can we be more specific with what TYPE of vampire and werewolf? There are many different views.

Dog Soldiers wolves would DOMINATE vampires, but the werewolf from Cursed would get owned. It's all about variation. Some vampires are depicted inaccurately. IMO the best depiction was in From Dusk Til' Dawn. Vampies are supposed to be trashy renegades who hang out and cause trouble, and neck pain. Not the classy, leather clad types we see in most flicks.

Of course everyone has a different view, just sharing mine.

Can the human half of a werewolf remember what the wolf half knows? In most cases, no. So the human half of the werewolf would have no idea a vampire is hunting it, so he wouldn't know to go stake it.

Azazel005 05-10-2009 10:25 PM

Of course there is scores of different lores one could follow in interpretting the combat prowess of the relative contenders. We could pick the highest end Lumley Vampire who can forge monsters through flesh and is virtually unkillable even if completely dismembered vs some wanky twilight incarnation of a werewold which I assume would be a piss weak critter.

The most popular and well constructed lore that includes both that I know is World of Darkness in which both are very very powerful beings and physically a Vampire stands a flat rating zero change against a Werewolf.

As far as we can assume across the vast majority of lores the vampire would still need to go so far as be prepared and properly equiped to kill a werewolf, a werewolf would not have to go so far.

So hey providing the vampire has got his Wolfie hunting kit, sure he may have the edge but if they are heading out too dinner on a full moon and cross paths unprepared, down goes fangy.

Considering that the human part of the werewolf doesnt remember much of what happened "last night", I doubt it. Plus, vampires hide their bodies pretty well.

If the vampire is essentially not a "daywalker" then yes, this is a pretty big vulnerability it has. But I stand with my point above - does the werewolf in human form remember what it was upto "last night"?

Thats very true, but how many werewolves run around with crosses, garlic and running water after transformation? Even if they got those in their human form and waited for the full moon for their morphing, I dont see how they ll recognise and know the relevance of those things near them once they are transformed. The rage inside them will make them start running towards their nearest prey to rip them to shreds.

Killing something which is already dead wont be plausible. The vampire will come back.

And get hold of what? Mist? Rats? Even a big bat which is flying 1000 feet up in the sky? The werewolf has to get hold of the vampire first. And a vampire in feral state with only 50% of his reasoning and cunning abilities, is still a much smarter creature than the werewolf.

The werewolf maybe damn near impossible to beat when the full moon is high, but when the moon starts waning, it grows weak. Contrary to the powers of the vampire, which are not dependent on the moon. Being a creature of the night, any night out of the 30 days in the month or 365 days of the year is booming time for it.

We all love werewolf movies a lot, but we revere Dracula for this precise reason. I dont think that even the most powerful werewolf of the world is anywhere near a match, much less a close match, for the Prince of Darkness.

It's heavily dependant on a much larger body of work that one is drawing a vampire's powers from. Additionally how far we take the idea of a "fight".

I am pretty sure I can take out the current UFC champion if I wait for him to fall asleep and burn his house down, though I wouldn't classify it as uch of a "fight".

How many vampires run around with an ample collection of silver objects for that matter?

The fact really being as far as I can assume from whatever pop cultures references I have to draw on, can a vampire defeat a werewolf? Yeah if he is properly prepared to take advantages of his weaknesses. Forcing us to pre-suppose he can sufficiently gain access to the correct weapons, and/or track the werewolf capably during the nights when the moon is not full.

Can a werewolf beat a vampire, yeah in all circumstances but the above and in anything that I consider a stand up fight, mythos dependant.

At least then the Vampire could hide his silver under his generous black and red cape!

bwind22 05-10-2009 11:58 PM

A werewolf would not have the ability to figure out that it needs a stake, garlic, crucifix or holy water to kill a vampire therefore the werewolf stands 0% chance of killing the vampire.

That fact alone should render this discussion obsolete, but somehow the majority of you seem to suffer from a complete lack of logic.


How about Bruce Lee with nunchuks vs. an enraged Werewolf?

Posher778 05-11-2009 12:25 AM

Problem is... Most vampires are pompous, and usually get their asses kicked for it. Per Van Helsing.
