Lycanthropy
Ervenian Era, 1051 AB
Lycanthropy is a condition, ailment, or curse that triggers transformations in humanoids and giants, often into a mix of humanoid and animal forms, turning them into monsters referred to as lycanthropes.
The condition is referred to by different names based upon the source of transmission:
True lycanthropy, also known as natural lycanthropy, is inherited from birth. True lycanthropes are able to infect others with their condition.
Maledictive lycanthropy is lycanthropy acquired by a curse. Cursed lycanthropes are sometimes able to infect others, depending on the nature of their curse.
Pathologic lycanthropy is lycanthropy acquired through transmission, usually in the form of a bite from a true lycanthrope. Afflicted lycanthropes aren't infectious.
