Meet the Australians who made the Darth Vader suit and your favourite monsters. In a workshop in Marrickville, this Australian team has worked on creating the monsters and practical effects on films including Star Wars, Alien and Mad Max. Their latest challenge is a pregnant werewolf.

I'm not going to be hornswaggled by someone having a lark. It's Australia. They just found a werewolf out back while having a smoke and are now trying to pass it off as "practical FX".

Me to myself: “I wonder if these guys worked on Farscape.”

Yup.

Why does a werewolf in wolf form have human-like breasts, though? That is not where a wolf’s breasts go!

Fair question, GenjiandProust. Also the scenario is lacking in imagination. Why wouldn't a werewolf have more breasts, since wolves have multiple sets of nipples?
