After the disappearance of Davie Wilkes, the strange occurrences surrounding the Blood Moon Bodybuilding Competition only escalated. It was soon apparent that industrial sized batches of whey protein, creatine, and other supplements were being stolen or simply vanished- then, the next bodybuilder, Brock Stone, a favorite to win the competition, disappeared. Stone was also the spokesman for X-Treme Brand Supplements, a sponsor for the competition, and his entire store of supplements disappeared with him. The rumors of something haunting the competition only grew, but with the signs of struggle in Stone's hotel room, police still continued to investigate, confident that a more mundane explanation would be found.

Rumors and eyewitness testimony, however, fed the growing belief that Davie Wilkes was responsible- that whatever had taken him had permanently altered the formerly worst bodybuilder in the world, and he was now growing. The report of one local bodybuilding fan, Stacy Walker, says she saw Davie Wilkes hauling an entire truckload of protein powder in the woods late at night. When she attempted to follow him, however, Davie transformed- his lycanthropy took hold, and Davie turned into an absolute beast of muscle, fang, and claw.

It was no mystery what the protein powder was being used for- the werewolf stalking the woods had limbs thicker than the tree trunks, corded with rippling, bulging muscle. His biceps were as big as his head, his shoulders and back spreading out like a sprawling valley of muscle. His powerful chest inflated, jutting past his muzzle as he let out a howl that resonated throughout the woods. The eyewitness report also noted Davie's increased strength, as he was able to snap a tree trunk in half with the strength in one arm. It is now believed that Davie was fully cognizant during his transformation- Stacy Walker reports being spotted by the werewolf, and when they made eye contact, Davie made no move to attack- but instead flexed, pumping his biceps with the tree trunk between his arm muscles, until it splintered. This would not, however, be the last, or even the most outrageous, sighting of Davie Wilkes.
