lycanthrope

1. In folklore, any human that can, while being touched by the light of the full moon, can turn into an animal, or animal/human hybrid. They can be evil, like werewolves, or good, like werebears.

The original werewolf legend was that you sold your soul to Satan, and he gave you a wolf-fur belt or cape, that when worn, would turn you into a wolf. NOT a hybrid. In folklore, running into a rye field would save you from a werewolf, because rye is a holy grain eaten by monks. Killed by silver. Supposed identifying marks include unibrows, index-finger as long as the middle finger, pointed nails, and stale breath.

2. A much better monster than vampires, which are stupid overrated goth pussies. See pussy. A werewolf is stronger, faster, more resilient than a vampire, and a hell of a lot cooler.

The dude's a lycanthrope, seriously. Lookit how he always disappears every full moon.

Lycia

She is the sexiest girl in town. She can use encouragement from others from time to time, even when having a high confidence. She loves to hype her friends up and make them feel happy, and usually isn't very nasty towards you unless you get in the ways of her goals and mess with her friends. She knows what she wants and isn't worried to cut people off if you are using her or if your toxic. Goal orientated and charming, she is the girl you wish you would've met earlier.

"Have you seen that new girl? she nasty af."
"Yeah, shes obviously the opposite of Lycia."

Lycranthropy

From Lycra and Lycanthropy:
1) The tendency to wear spandex at night when the moon is full.
2) The mythical ability to turn into a spandex clad super hero when the moon is full

I knew my lycranthropy had gotten out of hand when I found myself at midnight in the grocery store wearing spandex shirt and shorts with the bike at home.

Lycanthropologist

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.

lycranthrope

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.
