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 lycanthropes, and enlist in the study of lycanthropology to prepare for the worst case scenario. More experienced practitioners also delve into the psycho-spiritual phenomena of totemic obsession.
I met a lycanthropologist today, whilst wondering through the highlands. He looked like he could use a shave......

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.
