Trivia

 * This episode was first revealed during a script reading by Portuguese voice actors Fabricio Vilaverde (Cat Noir) and Jéssica Vieira (Ladybug) as well as fragments of this episode being released at CCXP 2018 on 8 December 2018 (at 4:30 PM).
 * This episode's title is derived from werewolf.
 * Similarly, the French title, Papa-Garou, comes from loup-garou, the French term for werewolf.
 * According to Thomas Astruc on Twitter, this episode is a tribute to fairy tales, especially 'Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku' (Absolute Destiny Apocalypse), a song by J.A Seazer.
 * One of the inspirations might be "Beauty and the Beast", a French fairy tale involving an enchanted rose, a hulking beast under a spell, and an imprisoned girl.
 * The rose was also kept precious, just like in the episode.
 * Other fairy tales possibly used are "Jack and the Beanstalk" with the tall plant reaching the sky, and "Sleeping Beauty" with the thorn maze.
 * August is akumatized a third time: first in "Gigantitan" and again in the "Heroes' Day" special.
 * This is the third episode where a relative of the Dupain-Cheng family is akumatized, following "Kung Food" and "Befana". In this case, it is Tom Dupain.
 * After the battle with Gigantitan, the Miraculous Ladybug is used without the summoned Lucky Charm.
 * This is the second time Cat Noir says, "She'll fall for me someday, it's just a matter of time" the first being "Timebreaker".
 * Cat Noir gave Marinette a rose like he did in "Glaciator".
 * Unlike in "Glaciator", the rose is pink; red roses are seen as a symbol of love (in line with Cat Noir's feelings about Ladybug), while pink roses are seen as a symbol of friendship (in line with Cat Noir's feelings about Marinette).
 * This is the third time Marinette and Tikki end up separated which previously accord in "Princess Fragrance" and "Sandboy".
 * This is the fourth time the akumatized object was not in the hands of the villain following "The Dark Owl", "Captain Hardrock", and "Style Queen (Queen's Battle - Part 1)".
 * Although, in Style Queen, the object started in Style Queen's hands but then she put it in Adrien's mouth, whom she had previously turned into a glitter statue.
 * This is the first time Ladybug purifies the akuma before calling on her Lucky Charm.
 * This is the second time where Marinette's transformation sequence is not shown following "Mayura (Heroes' Day - Part 2)".
 * This is the fourth episode Alya Césaire doesn't appear in.
 * The akuma catch scene has been reused from "Mayura (Heroes' Day - Part 2)" with a blue background.
 * This is one of the few episodes where Cat Noir and Ladybug deal with two akumatized villains.
 * This is the first time Ladybug summons a Lucky Charm in midair and downwards, instead of the usual direction, which is up.
 * This is also the first time Ladybug uses the Lucky Charm to save someone instead of the usual purpose of making a plan to defeat the villain with the object.
 * This is the first time Cat Noir uses his Cataclysm on a Lucky Charm object.

Errors

 * When Cat Noir is in Marinette's house, his ring is silver instead of black.
 * When Cat Noir is holding onto a vine in front of Weredad, his ring is blue.
 * When Marinette took the rose from Cat Noir, it went through his hand.
 * Before Ladybug detransformed, her civilian feet and hands can be seen in the few shots before the detransformation occurred.
 * Tom somehow fits through the roof door from Marinette’s room when he comes up the roof to find his daughter.
