Lycanthrope

Lycanthropes are those afflicted by lycanthropy. A lycanthrope, also known as as a werebeast, can be created by a chance (and untreated) bite from a lycanthrope while in their beast form or being born as part of an infected line. The disease can also be doled out as a curse from a deity or demon. Lycanthropes lose their ability to age naturally, and in their beast form are often crazed. While most change with the moon, there are some that require other circumstances. It should be noted that werewolves are only ONE type of lycanthrope, but are the most common. Over time a lycanthrope may gain control over their mind during their bestial change, and with practice can even control when they change. And seeing as how lycanthropes don't age past adulthood (unless they were bitten later in life), a smart lycanthrope has time indeed.
