A Supernatural Dilemma

If you have to choose between being a werewolf, a vampire, a mummy, or a zombie, you should choose to be a werewolf, because Professor Snape could make a potion for you to avoid turning into the wolf. And then you're basically human. Even though my mom loves the Twilight vampires, she would rather be alive and be a werewolf, too.

You've read my tip, but do you agree? Which would you choose?

  1. So long as I had guaranteed access to the preventative potion, werewolf would win hands down. You can go out in daylight, don't have lose your soul, and keep your human side but can skip the potion and go wild if you want to. If you pick the Underworld version of werewolves you can even change form w/o there being a full moon.

    W/o guaranteed access to the potion it's harder to tell--going uncontrollably crazy at each full moon would not be fun. Really, it depends on what incarnation of each creature you're going by; are they Harry Potter or Twilight or Dracula vampires, I Am Legend or Zombieland Zombies, The Mummy mummies, etc.?

    In the end, if the werewolf option came w/o a potion I'd probably opt for the The Mummy version of mummies because in most stories:
    1) everyone notices/kills zombies on sight and zombies can't think rationally
    2) vampires are automatically evil, have to give up their soul, and can't go out in the daytime

    Of course, if being a mummy also forced you to be evil (like the main character of The Mummy) that would alter the calculus as well. If that were the case, the needle would swing to zombie--might as well go out in a blaze of glory (or shotgun blast) from the hero.

    I may have thought about this too much.

  2. I think Buffy sets out the Vampire rules pretty clearly, and lets face it, nobody wants to be a mummy.

    I'm going with were-TIGER. BOO-YAH.
