Werewolf+Transformation
{{wolfBasicShape|size: medium; margin-right: 10px; float: left}}The initial, most basic [[Shapeshifting|transformation]] for a werewolf are a [[werewolf eye colour|change in eye color]], their finger or toenails lengthening into claws and their teeth lengthening into fangs.
Like most were-creatures, they will shift into this default form to activate their powers or identify themselves.
{{wolfBasicShape|size: medium; margin-right: 10px; float: right}}{{wolfMainShape|size: medium; margin-right: 10px; float: right}}The most commonly seen werewolf transformation, as well as the most practical is a near-human shape that includes all of the above features. Further changes consist of a ridged brow, an alteration of body or facial hair including sideburns on their cheeks, a lengthening and sharpening of their ears.
They also gain the ability to run using a combination of both their hands and feet.
As werewolves grow in experience or if they were to undergo an Evolution, they can develop the ability to shapeshift further. An alpha is supplemented in this talent due to the spark of power they wield. Depending on their power and character, a wolf's transformation could manifest as either an quadrupedal beast, or an bipedal wolf-man.

{{fullWolf|size: medium; margin-left: 10px; float: right}} Some werewolves are able to shift into a full wolf form, but this ability is extremely rare. A shapeshifter with this ability is the most powerful form of werewolf, their abilities, strength, speed having reached their zenith.
To be able to shapeshift into this form, a werewolf must find the balance between their humanity and their wolf ability. This form can be achieved after evolving. Initially, the only two werewolves known to shapeshift into a full wolf were [[Talia Hale]] and her elder daughter [[Laura Hale|Laura]], both of whom had alpha status.
In [[Season 4]], [[Derek Hale]], most likely as a result of surviving and learning from multiple trials of character throughout his turbulent life, underwent an evolution necessary for this shapeshifting ability.
The evolution manifested first as Derek's [[werewolf eye color|werewolf eyes]] changing back to gold. Thereafter he began to lose all his abilities, senses, strength, speed, healing, and even shapeshifting over a matter of weeks. He was brought down to his human guise. Later on he died after being stabbed by a [[berserker]]. Minutes later, Derek revived as a fully transformed wolf, all his powers back and increased. Then he was able to completely intimidate and overpower both Kate who was a [[werejaguar]] and her berserker. Derek realized his losing his powers and dying were because "(he) was evolving."
