Lycanthropy; the transformation of a man/woman into an animal like being under the light of the moon. There are two ways one can contract this disease. The most common is by being bitten by a Lycan. Another possible means is one can get a bad shot of Lycan vaccine.
During a full moon is when a new Lycan changes form for the first time. After that, they can change whenever they wish. A shape shifter must keep their shape, however, untill they pass out. The time for this varies from person to person. A shape shifter keeps their form anywhere from 4 to 8 hours.
There are many different breeds of Lycans, the most common being the werewolf and the wererat.

The werecat in and of itself has many sub catigories such as the wereleapords, werelion, weretigers and so on. There are also the more rare breed of lycans or shapeshifter such as the werefox, the weredog, and the werebear, though these are so far and few between that they do not start packs like the rats, wolves, and cats.
Werecats, though cats are naturaly solitary creatures, have a tendency to group together and form pards with leaders such as the Namir-Ra/Raj for the were leopards. And one thing I should mention about that while I'm on this...
If anyone wishes to be a pack leader for the different shapeshifter factions, just send me a pm and I'll see what I can do.

The stronger/ alfa/ domonent lycans cant shift half way like the ever popular wolf man (half wolf, half man; gasp a consept!). Basicly like in underworld. But the weaker ones, the submissive ones usualy can only shift into they're animal form, though they're usualy the size of small ponies. The color of eyes and fur differ from person to person. Some people can blond and blue eyed, and when they shift into they're animal form, say a werewolf, they can have ginger colored fur and amber eyes. So they're not limited to being a black leapard just because you have black hair as a human, or a white wolf because you have white hair as a human.
