- (Zoologie) (Mythologie) (Fantastique) Variante orthographique de werewolf, loup-garou.
I must say they were not cheering to me, for amongst them were “Ordog”—Satan, “pokol”—hell, “stregoica”—witch, “vrolok” and “vlkoslak”—both of which mean the same thing, one being Slovak and the other Servian for something that is either were-wolf or vampire.
— (Bram Stoker, Dracula : Jonathan Harker’s Journal, chapitre I, Modern Library, New York, New York, 1897)For its part, the vivid imagery of Servian folklore states that 'the power to become a were-wolf is obtained by drinking the water which settles in a foot-print left in the clay by a wolf.'
