Lycanthrope![/u][/b]
-----Lycanthrope are similar to shape shifters in that they can change into an animal, but they are more powerful. A Lycanthrope's beast form is at least 1.5 times larger than the average size of the animal. That is at the very least.
-----Lycanthrope can function easily on either two legs or four legs allowing them to run over great distances and deliver powerful attacks.
-----Lycanthrope are born from two Lycanthrope parents. A human can also be turned into a beast but only if the Lycanthrope is over seven hundred and fifty years old.
-----Lycanthrope do not follow a moon cycle when needing to change, but they do get more restless around the full moon and like to change to help relieve that stress. Some will try and resist it but the eventual build up will cause them to grow angry more quickly.
-----Among the Lycanthropes there are different kinds of animals they can turn into:
-------Wolf: Wolves are one of the more common forms of Lycanthrope, they dominate a majority of the Lycanthrope population. A wolf Lycanthrope can turn into a wolf beast that functions on both two legs and four. They very much have a pack like mentality and will follow under an Alpha. It is seen that Wolf Lycanthropes will go off on their own but they usually do not survive as long as they would if they were in a pack.
-------Tiger: Tigers are one of the more rare forms of Lycanthrope, it is even rumored that their numbers have dwindled down to the single digits. A tiger Lycanthrope can turn into a tiger beast that functions on two legs as well as four. Unlike the Wolves, Tigers generally keep to themselves and are seen roaming until they claim an area as their own. It is not often that two Tigers will have territory next to each other.
-----Lion: Lions are a form of Lycanthrope that is more often seen as female than male. Similar to the Tigers, the Lions numbers are dwindling due to the lack of males in the species. A lion Lycanthrope can turn into a lion beast that functions on both two legs and four. Male Lycanthrope often have manes around their heads in their beast form while the females do not. Lions are known to create prides under a single male leader with females under him to hunt as well as bare children. Due to the decreased number of males, the female are forced to live on their own.
-------Bear: Bears are another common form of Lycanthrope, while they are not are common as the Wolf they are see quite often. A bear Lycnathrope can turn into a bear beast that function on both two and four legs, though it is rumored they are better two. Bears are one of the stronger and bulkier types of Lycanthrope. Their strength mainly comes from their front paws and they can do some serious damage if they get a hold of you. Bears are also rather solitary and keep to themselves as they roam across the Northern Hemisphere.
-------Fox: Foxes are the smaller of the Lycanthrope as well as one of the more rare species. A fox Lycanthrope can turn into a fox beast that functions on two legs as well as four. It is said that they do better on four legs than two though. This is to allow them to move quickly in battle and escape easier if necessary. Foxes are tricksters in both human and beast form. They are often seen tricking people out of their possessions and money. Foxes also avoid battle when possible and are a very solitary create.

-----The Beast, is their inner animal and it is basically a separate being living within them functioning off basic animal instincts. If a Lycan, no matter what kind, falls under extreme emotional stress their beast will try and take control.
-----Dominance*, this is something that is seen mostly in Wolves and allows an Alpha to better command their pack. When they give an order, it can not be broken. This also allows them to call upon the strength of the pack to heal severe wounds a lot more quickly.
*Dominance must be applied for and is an ability that only Alphas gain.
Weaknesses:
-----Pure Silver, this does some serious damage to Lycanthrope but it has to be completely pure.
-----Fire, surprisingly enough Lycanthrope are rather flammable and tend to avoid fire at all costs.
-----Water, being made out of more muscles than most other species Lycans don't float very well.
