    Some types of mistletoe are toxic to dogs. Some types of mistletoe are also toxic to people.

    Werewolves are both dog and people so they get 4x damage

      While true, not something I’d base a meme on. The sexual/romantic connotations of mistletoe are far more well known.

      Besides, in lycanthropic lore, wolfsbane is the herb of choice against werewolves.

        Man I used to watch teen wolf (the mtv teen drama, not the movie—though that’s also awesome) back in the day, so I didn’t even question mistletoe being on the list. Though you’re right that wolfsbane would’ve been the go-to in my brain
