| - Lycanthropy is the state in which a werewolf finds him or herself: that of turning into a fearsome and deadly near-wolf. Muggles are far less likely to be infected by lycanthrophy, as the wounds have a higher fatality rate. To date, there is no cure for lycanthrophy. The term is often used to describe actual werewolves, but some authors, like Arsenius Jigger in his work The Essential Defence Against the Dark Arts, assert that its correct use is of describing a mental disease of fantasising being a wolf and, thus, prefer the term werewolfry, when referring to the condition of being a werewolf.

- Steven is capable of turning into a werewolf or wolf-like human creature at will. The transformation is usually painful, as it includes body parts extending, changing shape and growing fur. Whilst in this form, he has greater strength and speed, and has various other wolf-like characteristics such as enhanced senses. However, it is unlikely that he'd be able to pass on this ability to others with a scratch or bite, as traditional legend describes. He can also access the ability without the presence of a full moon, and seems able to control it.

It is entirely different from all other Summoning Spells in several ways, and could even be thought of as a special form of Instant Spell. The transformation is entirely permanent and cannot be undone in any way. The original unit is not "Enchanted" with Lycanthropy, it is simply transformed into a completely different unit. In fact, the resulting Werewolves unit will always be the same - completely regardless of the properties of the original unit.

- In folklore, lycanthropy is the ability or power of a human being to undergo transformation into a wolf. The term comes from Greek lykánthropos (λυκάνθρωπος): λύκος, lýkos ("wolf") + άνθρωπος, ánthrōpos ("man") (Rose, 230). The word can also be used transitively, referring to the act of transforming someone else into a wolf, or werewolf. The word lycanthropy is often used generically for any transformation of a human into animal form, though the precise term for that is technically "therianthropy". Sometimes, "zoanthropy" is used instead of "therianthropy" (Guiley, 192).
- In mainstream Smurfs media, lycanthropy appears at least twice in the cartoon show. In the episode "I Was A Brainy Weresmurf," Brainy wound up turning into a Weresmurf after receiving a scratch from an unpleasant-smelling flower. After some research in his lab, Papa Smurf discovers that "a pure-hearted Smurf" can become a weresmurf if the sap of a Moon flower enters his body. The cure turned out to be a collar made of silver root and garlic, which had to be given to Brainy before midnight of the following day. If not done, he would have been cursed to become a weresmurf at each full moon for the rest of his life. Thankfully, he was saved by his fellow Smurfs and managed to make friends with the forest wolf family through the experience by the end of the episode.
- Lycanthropy is an intrinsic conveyed by being bitten by a werecreature - a werejackal, wererat, or werewolf. It is also conveyed by eating the corpse of one of the above (if you are human, this is considered cannibalism). The message "You feel feverish" is displayed upon acquiring the intrinsic. The intrinsic transforms you into the animal form at regular intervals. Quaffing a potion of unholy water will do the same. While in were form, you can summon jackals, rats, or wolves as pets. Polymorphing will toggle between forms.
- Lycanthropy is the condition of being a lycanthrope, which is a human that transforms into a wolf or wolf-like creature. The word comes from the Greek roots lukos ("wolf") and anthropos ("man") and translates to "werewolf," which in its turn comes from the Anglo-Saxon roots wer and wulf, which also translate to "man" and "wolf" respectively. Recently, lycanthropy has been used as a blanket term to cover all conditions in which a human turns into an animal, usually named with the prefix "were" attached to the animal in question, e.g. werecat, werebear, or werepenguin.
- El hombre lobo es sólo una leyenda, una tontería hecha para las historias de terror, películas de terror y (lo peor de todo) Iconos de la adolescencia, ¿no? Pero ¿y si la criatura se basó en los cuentos reales? Hay leyendas que se remontan a cuando los humanos estaban viviendo en las comunidades tribales que parecen poder verificar esto. Si bien la idea de un desplazador de la forma es un tanto absurda, el origen del concepto es un poco más interesante.
- Lycanthropy, meaning "Wolf Man" is the generic name to a disease which transforms a creature into another, typically in reference to a Human becoming a Wolf, although most, if not all, other humanoids are also susceptible, as are several kinds of animal. Given the existence of Wererats, Werewolves and Werebears among other variants, the correct name for this disease should actually be "Therianthropy", meaning "Beast Man", but owing to the vast numbers of Werewolves over any other form of Were-creature, the generic name has stuck.
- There are certain causes of Lycanthropy to which one must be aware. One of the most common causes is the lack of shaving. Should one go 3 or more years without shaving their body will end up transforming into a wolf. The only case where this does not apply is with Chuck Norris, who has been as woolen as a wookie since birth, but has never transformed into a wolf. Another way one might transform into a wolf is by eating psychedelics that have been expired. Their disgusting taste should be enough warning for you to not eat it.
- Lycanthropy is a Drudic ability that permits a Druid to undergo transformation into a seven-foot bipedal wolf called a Lycanthrope, though more commonly known as a Werewolf. The Werewolf is seen to be the ultimate champion of nature (second, perhaps to the Dragon), combining attributes of humanity with those of the lupus to create an adaptive, resiliant, primal fighting machine.
