Werewolves….originally thought to be hairy and terrifying creatures have within the last few decades been admired in a whole new light. With Hollywood portraying these savages beasts frequently on both the small and silver screens, there appears to be a new criteria for these leading monsters: you need to look good with your clothes off. I decided to pay homage to some of the sexiest wolves out there.

Alcide Herveaux (Joe Manganeillo)

Let’s face it this guy is one of the most perfectly sculpted male specimens ever to walk the earth. With his rippled abs, tight bum and tall stature he made us swoon on True Blood.      

Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin)

Brooding, intense, sexy as hell…what’s not to like about this "mansicle. This alpha male werewolf captivated our attentions and warmed our lady parts in MTV’s drama Teen Wolf.

Isaac Lahey (Daniel Sharman)

Loyal, charming, and gorgeous this werewolf had us at hello when he stepped onto the television show Teen Wolf during Season 2. Melting our hearts and weakening our knees is what this were creature does best.  

Jackson Whittemore (Colton Haynes)

This guy might have started out an jerk when appearing on Teen Wolf but that didn’t stop us from checking out his ass at the same time. This guy is cocky but wouldn’t you be if one of your best assets was making women’s panties drop.

Mason Lockwood (Taylor Kinney)

This werewolf’s lifespan may have been too short on The Vampire Diaries but I sure shed a crap load of tears when Damian Salvatore ripped his heart out of his burly strapping chest. At least he went on to play something else sexy…a fireman

Tyler Lockwood (Michael Trevino)

With all the hot blood suckers about in the Vampire Diaries, it’s no wonder Tyler had to arrive on the scene to prove that werewolves can be sexy too. The notches on this beast’s bed posts include humans, vampires, witches, and other werewolves. God bless him for not discriminating

Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan)

This guy is the best of both worlds werewolf and vampire. He is so amazing he gets his own spin off rom the Vampire Diaries called the Originals. Plus he has a striking accent and flaring bad boy temper. How could any girl resist.

Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman)

Okay this guy is another hybrid and unlike any other werewolf, but he easily seduced Kate Beckinsale along with the entire female population in the Underworld movie franchise. They have one of the greatest versions of a Romeo and Juliet partnership that has me all peanut butter and jealous.

Caleb Varek (Jason Behr)

A sexy motorcycle driving gun totting werewolf in the movie Skin Walkers, Jason Behr sure makes our hearts go haywire. One of the only beasts on this list who is truly bad to the bone and without mercy. I mean he is willing to murder his own son for goodness sakes. Yet we can’t stop worshipping.   

Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner)

I may be rocking the cradle on this one but he has a solid six pack. That can’t be disputed. Neither can the bar that he has set for all werewolves in Hollywood to come.

Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett)

In the eerily dark show Penny Dreadful we are introduced to the handsome and heroic weapon wielding animal Ethan. With a sick prostitute and a demon possessed harlot as his romantic interests we may question his taste in woman however, with that deep commanding voice and dominating presence all is forgiven.  

I think one thing can be summed up with this post….

WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!

The tragedy of Penny Dreadful’s ending is that it validated that Vanessa was doomed from the very beginning. In the end, her only choices were either to suppress her darkness and suffer, or to embrace her darkness and perish. And thus, she was put down like a sickly contagious animal because her own existence was painful to herself and a danger to everyone else.
