Werewolves (Werewolves of the Rockies)

The Werewolves are the antagonists from Werewolves of the Rockies, a story from Forbidden Worlds #17.

In the comic, ski jumping champion Lars Norden and his girlfriend, Fria, were heading to an important contest when their train suddenly stopped in the Rocky Mountain area due to a snowslide. The couple left with a number of passengers to a nearby village, and it was after reaching the village that Lars noticed strange behavior from a group of men, who beamed over the full moon about to rise. A crevasse separated the couple, with Lars instructing Fria to go to the train until a bridge can be built.

Later that evening, Lars learns the area's dark truth; it is actually a colony of werewolves. After spotting them changing, Lars realizes that Fria is with one of them and frantically searched for her. Meanwhile, Fria was with one of the villagers and asking him how long the moon would be up in the sky, but to Fria's shock, the companion turned heel and revealed himself as a werewolf, transforming and approaching Fria. Lars eliminated several pack members by cutting down the newly built bridge and sending them to their deaths, and continued his search for Fria.

In the story's climax, Lars spotted a pair of werewolves going after innocent bystanders, killing one of them but was unable to get the other. During his search for the remaining werewolf, Lars finds Fria in a nearby snowbank, believing to have fainted. Fria reunited with Lars and skied together on the latter's skis, with Lars expressing regret over the werewolf that escaped. At the end of the story, Fria turned heel and revealed herself as a werewolf, as she was shown beginning her transformation. During her villainous reveal, the evil Fria teased Lars by stating that his confrontation with the werewolf could happen again, and the comic ends without revealing the fate of Lars or Fria.
