One who studies the biology, culture and transmutation of lycanthropes, (werewolves). Most are slightly neurotic about becoming, meeting or being eaten by the creatures, and enlist in the study of lycanthropology to prepare for the worst case scenario. Medicinal (Wolfsbein), surgical and spiritual (exorcism) treatments have been developed but none of these can guarentee recovery. Experienced lycanthropologists have even sought answers through extending their study to metaphysics and therianthropy but as of yet no epistemological or pathological explaination for the phenomena has been uncovered. Thus lycanthropology, like its mysterious subject of study, continues to thrive beautifully.
In 1951, in the French town of Pont St. Esprit., nearly 135 people had to be hospitalized and 6 died from ergot poisoning after eating bread made from fungus infected rye. The victims had horrible visions of being attacked by tigers and snakes and of turning into beasts. Victims reported a 'terror of dark’ and ‘feeling that my body was not mine’) together with burning sensations (commonly known as St. Anthony’s fire ) in the extremities & the scalp. Leading Lycanthropologist's consider this episode to offer valuable incite into the natureof lycanthropy.

Get the Lycanthropologist mug.A lycra-wearing cyclist who shape changes into a bicycle-riding wolf when there's a full moon. They then randomly break off wing mirrors and shout abuse at motorists who they think have wronged them.
The other night I was just minding my own business, sat at the traffic lights, and some passing lycranthrope broke off my wing mirror and implied that I indulge in self-abuse! Must be a full moon again.

This is a disorder when someone believes that they are a werewolf. Even though they will not change into one, they still pretend to go threw it as if they were becoming a werewolf. They can be violent and harmful, just as if they had become a werewolf.

Get the Lycanthorpe1 mug.A medical issue that almost signifies the turning into a wolf. If concerned or suspicious of yourself, or a friend being somewhat of a "lycan" or "werewolf" then keep the following in mind. Most symptoms include a sudden craving for raw or under-cooked meat. A tendency to sniff the air for a sudden scent. Also there may be some hidden symptoms that you must pay close attention to see, for the victim may attempt to conceal them. Have them touch silver, but not any, due to the fact that some are manufactured fakes, so a sterling silver item may do. To tell if they are indeed cursed, once they touch the item, their hand will start to burn and ash. Other symptoms include when extremely angered, the eyes will shift colors, and the pupils will become dog like. not only that but you will notice a new personality consuming them, along with an extremely cocky attitude.
but if that doesn't get you going, then wait for a full moon, ask them to hang out, if they say they have "other plans" than that could mean they are changing that night.
but I do give extreme caution, do not follow on a full moon!
depending on how far they have progressed, that will determine how dangerous they become. for example, if they have only been in their situation for say a couple days to a week, they will be stuck in the process of a wolf-man type, which basically causes them to grow longer fur like hair on head, and it will abnormally grow out as if it were stood up by gel. also hair will grow on sides of face extending from sideburns, and the canines will grow longer and more dog like. lastly nails will grow sharp, and fur will consume arms. If a little more than a week, then bone structure in face will change along with growing a tail. If progressed to more than a month from said bite or scratch, then they could become full lycanthrope. this could be described as a giant wolf demon. They will become large, legs will bend and shape , the tail and snout will grow along with more bone structuring changes, and muscles will become ripped and tense, fur will become all body, and lastly they will have no, and or all lack of control, unless they are well defined by it.
Refrain with thought and caution, friend or not, they will not hesitate to kill you, and if lucky enough to survive, kill yourself, and think of those closest to you. Also if completely aware of self control, they can change at any moment.
