Irish werewolves, known in folklore as Faoladh or Conriocht  are distinct from European legends, often portrayed as noble protectors of children, the wounded, and the community rather than malevolent monsters. Rooted in early Irish tales—notably the "Werewolves of Ossory"—these beings were sometimes depicted as cursed individuals or warriors with the power of transformation.
