Trivia
- The fact that the Black Belt is generally dropped by Werewolves may stem from the legend that wearing a belt made of wolfskin is one of the alleged methods to become one of these beasts. A popular case is that of Peter Stumpp, a 16th century German serial killer who was known as 'the Werewolf of Bedburg'. He claimed that the Devil gave him a magical belt which enabled him to metamorphose into a werewolf. Removing the belt, he said, made him transform back to his human form.
