| Jun 30, 2016 at 3:09 | comment | added | Henry Taylor | The OP wanted a method of hooking a biologic event (transformation into a wolf) to a lunar event (full moon). The real world already has flowers which only bloom in moonlight. A good example of this is the aptly named, "moon flower". All I am doing is linking the existing bloom event to a spreading of pollen which then triggers the biological event (in the same way as hay fever symptoms are triggered by pollen). I'm bringing a questionable relationship (moonlight to transformation) together by bridging them with the flower and the pollen. How does that not answer the question? | |
| Jun 30, 2016 at 3:03 | comment | added | BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft | So the question went from "What about a full moon causes werewolves to transform?" to "What about a full moon causes this flower to bloom?" I don't see how this answers the question. | |

| Jun 29, 2016 at 19:31 | comment | added | Henry Taylor | Okay, I modified my answer so that it qualifies under the "and any other possible ideas of what might cause a werewolf to shift" clause of the OP's question. As for the flower not being real... this is a werewolf question! Anything that is real to the genre should be considered real for the purpose of justifying an answer. And you can't get much more "real to the genre" than a prop from an 1938 werewolf movie. That flower is as real as the wolf's fur and fangs. | |
