* '''Implied''': One day, Bob learns of reports of a werewolf continuously attacking and killing off random humans during the night, and he then assumes that he won't ever get to have an exceptionally great look at him until the very next full moon night happens.
* '''Deconstructed''': The werewolf deliberately hides himself from his prey within the shadows, eventually leading to exceptionally effective humans kills on his part and later still-surviving humans using bright lights attached to machine guns and rocket launchers to first get a excellent full look at his very appearance and then to easily completely blast him right on into total oblivion.
* '''Reconstructed''': Later on, another werewolf takes both an invincibility potion and an invisibility potion, later allowing him to remain both impossible to spot and also impossible to kill off during every single one of his future human hunts throughout the whole rest of his lifespan.
* '''Played for Laughs''': A number of humans see the werewolf in question while he's still hiding within the distant shadows, and then they all laugh and make fun of him for not ever fully showing himself by then.
* '''Played for Drama''': The humans soon become fully aware of the werewolf's general hunting tactics, so they then keep a far closer eye out for different bits and pieces of his body showing up within their different respective fields of vision, also allowing them to more effectively fight back against him to the point of him not ever even being fully seen at all prior to his death.
* '''Played for Horror''': The werewolf deliberately hides himself in order to be able to invoke a greater sense of NothingIsScarier so that he can remain as scary as possible to his human prey from them not even knowing that he's actually a werewolf at all to start with, and that then allows the eventual revelation as to what he truly is to even send some of his intended victims into lethal panic attacks.
