Kendall Knight (Werewolf or Lycan?)

Modern media has blurred the lines between werewolfism and lycanthropy. Their traits and abilities are used more interchangeably now, thus making them less distinguishable. This phenomenon has led me to ask: Is Kendall Knight a werewolf or a lycanthrope? Let's start by defining both terms!

werewolf (n.)

wair-woolf

(in fiction) a person who changes for periods of time into a wolf, typically when there is a full moon.

lycanthrope (n.)

lahy-kuhn-throhp

(in mythology) a person affected with lycanthropy.

a werewolf or alien spirit in the physical form of a bloodthirsty wolf.

Do these definitions seem indistinguishable? Unfortunately so. Though, many tend to forget that the one stark contrast between both beasts are myth and fiction. I believe werewolves and lycanthropes (lycans for short) are more different than some may understand. Werewolves and lycans do not all possess the same physical traits or supernatural abilities. Let's dissect their characteristics and powers to distinguish them from one another.

Physical Traits

There are three physical forms both werewolves and lycans alike inhabit—human form, wolf form, and hybrid form. The human form, similar among both species, is how these creatures normally appear seeing as most werewolves and lycans are turned rather than born. They look just as any other human would. The wolf form, also similar among both species, is their body taking the shape of the average wolf. They're quadrupedal and lose the ability to speak. Their hybrid forms are what set the two apart. Hybrid forms are an anthropomorphic state of wolves. Their skin is covered in nearly impenetrable fur, their ears elongate, and they grow a tail, fangs, and claws while keeping their opposable appendages. Depending on the creature and given folklore, they may also grow a muzzle and have the choice of standing on their hind legs or running on all fours. However, lycan hybrid forms tend to be stronger and more muscular. Additionally, lycan hybrid forms aren't weak to silver as opposed to werewolves.

Supernatural Abilities

The most common and noteworthy ability of werewolves and lycans is their ability to transform. A werewolf's transformation is mostly dependent on the full moon. Whether or not they transform as they please, all werewolves still transform under a full moon and are unable to revert to their human forms until sunrise. Additionally, werewolves benefit from heightened senses such as super-strength, super-speed, stronger smell, heightened hearing, immense agility, etc. typically in their wolf and/or hybrid forms. Werewolves also have longer lifespans but are not immortal. They'd likely live only a few hundred years. Finally, when fully transformed, werewolves become feral. They are overcome with animalistic rage and bloodthirst. They do not recall the events of their transformation and have little to no control over what they do, almost as if they're being possessed, and their true selves lie dormant. Their bite can infect others, thus turning them. However, it is unclear whether their bite results in an infection or a curse.

Lycans can transform at will. Their transformations do not rely on the moon cycle or any other uncontrollable circumstances. Not only do they have full control of their transformations, but they additionally have full control over their actions when having transformed. They are stronger, more coherent, more intelligent, and more invulnerable. Their wounds heal quicker than those of werewolves due to regeneration, and their abilities are less bestial despite their appearances being more beastly in comparison. Lycans benefit from their supernatural abilities regardless of what form they take, but the strength of each ability is dependent on their current form. Some are stronger, and some are weaker. Although lycans aren't weak to silver, in very rare cases, they are known to be resistant to magic. As such, lycans cannot curse or infect anyone. They are created through means of magic rituals. Additionally, lycans' lifespans are similar to those of werewolves.

Weaknesses

Silver is the most common werewolf weakness. A silver bullet can pierce their invulnerable fur and negate their regeneration if shot through a werewolf's head or chest. Another common werewolf weakness is Wolfsbane. It is used to repel and, in some cases, cure werewolves. However, both weaknesses can vary depending on the context of their stories. A weakness that doesn't typically change depending on context is their lack of self-control. It doesn't harm or kill werewolves necessarily, but their berserk, monstrous behavior is a weakness nonetheless.

Lycans' weaknesses are similar to those of werewolves apart from silver. Their bodies will regenerate despite coming in contact with it. But lycans are vulnerable to holy symbols. Due to their connection to witchcraft and otherworldly magic, they fall victim to items like crosses, holy water, rosaries, etc.

Which One Is Kendall?

Though Big Time Rush portrays Kendall as a werewolf in Big Time Halloween, I feel his monster identity goes deeper than that. He embodies traits of both werewolves and lycans. His transformation is dependent on the moon cycle, but his hybrid form build is rather muscular. Kendall embodies dog-like behaviors but has control over his actions and speech other than howling, growling, and other behaviors humans wouldn't exhibit. It is unclear what his weaknesses are since he was never attacked in this episode nor did he ever take a wolf form. Kendall embodies only two forms—human and hybrid. I am aware some behaviors and characteristics were either exaggerated or ignored because Big Time Rush is a children's show thus childlike humor is a huge priority that misconstrues a lot of information for the sake of its target audience. I theorize his monster identity is dependent on his family. If his father was turned into a werewolf, I could believe Kendall was born a werewolf. If not, I am to believe Jennifer used her magic to turn Kendall into a lycan. I am unsure what species Kendall truly is, but I can always keep theorizing. There is still a lot of information Big Time Rush has left out. Which do you think Kendall is and why? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for listening to my very random and overly analytical spiel. Happy spooky season, chat!

30 Days of November

taglist: @myloveforhergoeson @partiallypearl

10. cozy

While other teens went out partying, Ronnie stayed inside. She pulled out the box of movies and looked through the various DVDs. Tonight was one of those nights when she would stay in, cuddled up in fuzzy blankets, and sip hot chocolate. It was also one of those nights where she gets stoned off her ass and binges on movies all night. A knock at the door alerted her, and she tripped over herself to open it.

Kendall was on the other side. He scrunched his nose up and leaned away. She smelled like a skunk.

"What? Did you get sprayed with something?"

"Don't act like you don't know," Ronnie rolled her eyes.

"Okay... Well, I was wondering if you were doing anything tonight?"

"I planned to binge-watch movies if that counts."

"Cool! What movies?"

"I dunno..." Ronnie shrugged and scratched the back of her head. "You can pick out a movie from the box," She moved into the kitchen and opened the door.

"Where's your dad?" Kendall asked as he hesitantly stepped inside. He closed the door behind him. Mr. Clark seemed to hate him the most out of everyone in the band.

"Work." Ronnie grabbed two mugs from the overhead cupboard. "Do you want hot chocolate?"

"...Sure?" Kendall knit his brows in confusion.

"Go choose a movie while I get this ready,"

"Okay..." Kendall went to the couch and sat down. The box on the coffee table in front of him was large. It would take him quite a while to pick a movie he wanted to watch. She had an assortment of genres.

30 minutes later, Ronnie returned with two steaming mugs of hot chocolate, and Kendall had yet to decide. She set the mugs down on coasters and plopped down next to him.

"Do you need help? Friday the 13th is a classic, but only if you're in the mood for horror. X-Men Origins Wolverine is... okay, but my dad loves it. Johnny Depp was hot in Public Enemy."

"That, I can agree with." Kendall chuckled. "But you have a lot of slasher movies..."

"Of course I do!" Ronnie leaned back and propped her hands behind her head. "The slasher genre is my favorite. It doesn't matter if it's a shitty movie or horrible CGI; regardless, I'll be entertained while hate-watching it."

"Let's watch an action movie." Kendall's eyes scanned the titles; he randomly pulled one out and turned it around. Underworld Rise of the Lycans. "Ugh, werewolf movie..." He whined.

"You picked it," Ronnie snickered and plucked the DVD from his hands. She struggled with the box for a minute or two until she finally opened it and put the DVD in the player.

In the middle of the movie, the songwriter gets cold and slots herself next to Kendall. He is like a human space heater. For a split second, he reminded her of Curt, but the thought is chased away as soon as it surfaces. She snuggles into his side and grabs a blanket to wrap around her shoulders.

"You know, you're a good guy. I don't say it often..." She mumbled, her cheek pressed against his shoulder.

Cherry and Kendall in the Werewolf AU

Kendall never got along w/ Payton, Cherry's brother. They can't even stand having to look at each other, much less interact.

One day, Payton found Cherry and Kendall together during some very intimate moments and Payton became enraged. He didn't fully understand why, but something about Kendall being his brother's lover made his blood boil, and after Kendall started to fight him about it... Payton escalated it to a physical fight. He beat Kendall PRETTY BADLY, as Kendall was really no match for Payton in his human form, and he didn't wanna risk turning in front of him.

The only way that Payton stopped before he did some really bad, permanent damage to Kendall was when Cherry ran in to shield Kendall. Seeing the fear in Cherry's eyes (and the fact Cherry fought Payton away when never EVER in his life had Cherry EVER done anything against Payton) is the only thing that made Payton snap out of it.

He apologized deeply to Cherry, realizing he had only contributed to the pain their father always put Cherry through, and swore to never do anything against Cherry ever again. He never wished to hurt his brother, not even emotionally or psychologically. He never meant to.

He later apologizes to Kendall as well, and they manage to form a kind of truce.

Also Kendall took the beating like a CHAMP. He's a lycan, and he knows he wouldn't be hurt too badly in the fight, and his body will recover incredibly fast from such a beating... So he's not even worried. He tried pulling a "Well, I did my share of fighting back too!" even tho Cherry knows it's bullshit LMAO... He did very minimal damage back to Payton......... lmao...................

“ woah, woah, woah… slow it down a few miles, huh? what’s going on? where’s the fire? “ (To Kendall from Rhudi Lycan )

𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐋/𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐂 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒.

"no fire." kendall says with a slight huff. "just....needed to blow off some steam so.... i went for a run. guess i was pushing it a little....alittle harder than i thought." she said as she caught her breath. "how did you find me?"

Kendal Kaie

Formerly Human/Pyromander, Now Lycan, Fox Type. – Female. Age 17. Born November 11th, 1600.

Detective Kaie’s daughter. Born to a Pyromander mother, Kendal would have eventually lost her human D.N.A. to the overwriting the Fire Magic naturally uses. However, due to circumstances involving a certain Demon Princess, an interrupted Summoning Ritual, and her father’s arm being cut off- the natural parts of the Magic that would have transitioned Kendal from Human to Pyromander safely were disrupted. If a cure to this disastrous change of events was not found before the Pyromander Magic begins its final transitional state, Kendal would have almost certainly died as the Fire consumed everything- even itself.

However, in a startling turn of events, Kendal survived both an Assassination *and* the overloading of her Fire Magic thanks to a last minute application of Lycanthropy. She is now a Lycan of the rare Fox type subspecies, and the Fire Magic which once almost certainly was her death warrant has been minimized to a containable level and has been sealed away.

Now, with a new lease on life, Kendal’s future is suddenly wide open and waiting to be written.

More pics and human form coming tomorrow. I ran out of time to fix an art error. >_<;

HEAR ME OUT ‼️⚠️

After posting my analysis blog on Kendall yesterday discussing whether he's a werewolf or a lycan, I discussed with a friend the circumstances Kendall would be under should he truly be a lycan. I explained that since lycans are created through magic rituals rather than being turned or born, I theorized that Kendall would want to be turned into a lycan just as his father was. Kendall might've been born human, but has felt an odd sense of estrangement towards his father and the rest of his family because he's the only "normal". As such, Kendall has implored Jennifer to turn him into a lycan. She agrees after discussing this with Mr. Knight (who was probably the one to convince her in the first place because you just KNOW Jennifer had a whole spiel about self-acceptance ready to go). But Kendall and Jennifer regret this decision after Mr. Knight's disappearance. We can only theorize what happened to him, but I surmise that being a wolfish monster has brought up a lot of feelings of abandonment and shame for Kendall. He feels he can't cope with the challenges of being a lycan without his father because he has no one to relate to and has never met another person of his kind. After processing his grief the way he should and Jennifer giving him a long overdue spiel of self-acceptance she wishes she had given him before turning her only son into a lycan, Kendall learns to embrace his monster side. Additionally, he learns to embrace this side of himself because being a lycan provides a unique connection to his father that he can't find anywhere else. I know this scenario doesn't focus on physical analytics as my previous blog did, but the lore is lore-ing this way. Are you team lycan now? I know I am!

is kendall a werewolf? :0

WELL UH.... He’s a were-creature but not a wolf! ;v; 

Depending on what story he’s on, the creature itself varies! 

In his normal verse w/ regular human Cherry, Kendall is a lycan jackalope! So he’s a big beast with deer horns and big ol’ rabbit ears and stuff! BUT!! In the werewolf AU!, he’s actually a mix between a lycan and a chupacabras! >:D 

Here are some little sketches I made last night having to do w/ that! 

This is him, however, in his beast form! He has three forms: Human, Beast (Lycan/this one!) and animal (Straight up just a chupacabra and not humanoid!)

His design is still a work in progress tho! He’s supposed to look like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, ahaaaa ;v;
