How do you say werewolf in Russian?

The most common translation for werewolf in Russian is "волчо́к" (volchók).

However, there are a few other possibilities depending on the context and desired level of formality:

* "оборотень" (oboroten') is a more literary and archaic term, referring to a creature that can transform into a wolf. It is often used in folklore and fantasy.

* "ликантроп" (likanthrop) is a scientific term for werewolf, derived from Greek. It's less common in everyday speech.

The best choice depends on the specific situation.
