Happy Super Blood Wolf Moon! Here’s a Ranking of the Best TV Werewolves
Sunday marks an extremely rare cosmic event as three lunar phenomena happen all at once.
First, a supermoon is a full moon that occurs when the moon is the closest to the Earth it can be in its elliptic orbit, making it appear much larger in the sky than normal. A blood moon occurs during a lunar eclipse when the moon, in total eclipse, appears to have a reddish tint thanks to some refracted light from the sun. And lastly, a wolf moon is another name for the full moon that occurs during the month of January.
On Sunday, Jan. 20, all three events (a super moon, a blood moon, and obviously the January wolf moon) will occur on the same night, giving the world a seriously cool celestial event to witness: A Super Blood Wolf Moon. IRL, this will be a fun excuse to camp outside and watch the heavens, but you’ve got to admit that if this were happening in a TV show, some seriously crazy sh– would likely be going down.
The following is from TV Guide’s official ranking of their favorite TV werewolves!
11. Ruby Lucas (Once Upon a Time)

Though she didn’t get as much screen time as she deserved over the course of Once Upon a Time‘s seven seasons, Ruby (Meghan Ory) definitely left her paw prints all over our hearts. She cleverly flipped the script on the usual Red Riding Hood tale, turning out to be both Red and the wolf thanks to her nifty magic cloak. When facing down evil queen, ogres and giants, you definitely want this girl on your team.
10. Rafael Waithe (Legacies)
(via)
Though he had no knowledge of his werewolf roots when he first transitioned on Legacies, Rafael (Peyton Alexander Smith) didn’t take long to flourish as a werewolf at the Salvatore School. He’d barely been at the school for a month before he challenged and unseated the pack alpha, earning the title (and benefits) for himself. And he got to beat up a bully in the process. How fun! He’s still got a lot to learn about pack dynamics (not to mention how to handle swooning siphoner witches), but he’s crushing the werewolf life so far.
9. Elena Michaels (Bitten)
(via)
Female werewolves are harder to find that you’d think on TV, but they’re even harder to find in the world of Bitten. As the only female werewolf in the world, Elena (Laura Vandervoort) had a lot of pressure riding on her, both inside and out of her own pack, but she wore it well. Rather than playing the typical damsel-in-distress role usually reserved for female protagonists in supernatural dramas, Elena was a force to be reckoned with and had a wit as sharp as her claws.
