Werewolves (also known as lycanthropes) are part man and part wolf, known for their excessive appetites and superior strength.
Werewolves are created by the darkest of magicks, or (more commonly) the BITE of another werewolf. Lycanthropy is almost like a disease, spreading through populations and transforming them entirely into werewolves who soon crowd themselves into extinction by devouring the available food supply – and each other.
Lycanthropes can harness the power of the moon, TRANSFORMing at night to assume their werewolf form. Based on the phase of the moon, the werewolf gains up to two times normal hitpoints (Quarter moon being the smallest gain, full moon being the largest.) Werewolves can not transform if there is no moon in the sky (i.e. in the new moon phase).
Although they can be killed like any other creature (by depleting their hitpoints), the quickest way to kill one is with a silver SPIKE through the chest. A successful spike removes all vestiges of lycanthropy from the player when they re-enter the game.
Cityguards take a disliking to lycanthropes in their cities.
Werewolves have an increased metabolism (get hungry more often than normal mortals) but can eat corpses, even though it’s not a pretty sight.
Werewolves are forced to TRANSFORM during full moons.
