Lacan

An obtuse enigmatic sadist who enjoyed torturing his students and other psycho-analytic theorists by writing in an intentionally obscure style. He made Derrida look like Mr. Clear and Concise. His only saving grace is that his ideas are so sparse and insignificant compared to Jung, that most likely he will be forgotten in the grander scheme of history.
Lacan's symbolic ideas are pure imaginary, and thus have nothing to do with the real.

If I have to read Lacan again, I will blow a hole in my brain; then again, reading Lacan is virtually blowing a hole in one's brain. Is this repetition with a difference?

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.

Lycanroc

Lycanroc, the Wolf Pokémon and the evolved form of Rockruff. Lycanroc has two forms, depending on whether you're playing Pokémon Sun or Moon.

Lycanroc's Midday form (Pokémon Sun) resembles a normal wolf. Its fur is mainly light-brown and grey. Its tail, as well as its legs, are white, and all four of its paws have three claws each.
Lycanroc's Midnight form (Pokémon Moon) resembles a werewolf. Unlike its Midday form, it is bipedal. Its fur is mainly red and white, its torso and head taking on the former color. On the back of its neck is a large "mane" that is white colored until the tip of it, which is black and hangs down in front of its face. Lycanroc's sclera, irises, and pupils are distinguishable, but they all glow the same reddish color and are only separated by sketch-esque lines. Like its Midday form, it has three claws on each paw.

Lycanroc's Japanese name is ルガルガン, which translates to Rugarugan.
Lycanroc's Midday form is cool; it is loyal AND it's super fast!
