One of the first things he had learned in Tibet was that, to control his inner demon, he had to know it. Wrestling with your inner werewolf was hard enough, but then classifying it…

Oz spent many months simply trying to figure out if his inner werewolf was an animal and if that, in turn, made him an animal or a man who became an animal three night out of the month.

He thought he’d figured it out. He thought he was safe. After the trip to Sunnydale, however, his worst fears were confirmed: he was, in fact, an animal.
