"Rugarugan" What? Etymology, please?

>>28468115
Lugaru, a misspelling of Loup-Garou, the French word for werewolf.

Don't know what the "-gan" comes from.

>>28468215
Gan is a reading for boulder in Japanese. 岩

>>28468353
There ya go, then. Boulder Werewolf.

>>28468215
ルー・ガルー (ruu garuu), Japanese spelling of Loup-Garou. Remove the vowel elongation marks and you get rugaru.
Rugaru + Gan (which is boulder like >>28468353 said)

Also
wolf's growl ガルルル - Garururu

Boldwulf is the name in english

>>28468115
Loup-Garou+Garururu+Gan

Boulderwolf sounds dope

Yeah it's based on the Cajun/creole swamp werewolf

Actually there was a monster in Supernatural that's called a Rugaru. Some research brought me to this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rougarou?wprov=sfla1

I hope the French name will be a reference to the Beast of Gévaudan (la bête du Gévaudan)

J'préfererai Lycanthrock

True, but I think it's more likely that this gan is 癌 cancer.
