The “Etruscan werewolf” refers not to a shapeshifting beast but to a daemon-wolf—a liminal spirit between life and death in Etruscan belief. With a human body and wolf’s head, this being symbolized restless souls who had died violently or without proper burial.

Depictions appear on tomb paintings and artifacts like the Pontic Plate (c. 520 BC) from Vulci, showing a clawed wolf-man with gold bracelets among mythic creatures. To the Etruscans, the wolf embodied twilight and the passage to the underworld—a guardian of death and transition. Unlike modern legends, this figure reflected the spirit’s unrest, not transformation.
