Werewolves are an allegory for the ineffability and natural atavism of masculine sexuality. Like. Point blank, you can't escape that fact.
If you're trying to create a monster for the sake of just body horror and violence, then you're not telling a werewolf story, you're just retelling The Thing. That's an alien / abomination shapeshifter ooze. Not a werewolf. They're completely different things.
Nothing wrong with alien body horror and flesh abominations, but it isn't really related to werewolves other than an oblique, tangential discussion of how distressing it is for your body to change into something stronger and hairier without your consent or understanding.
