What are lycanthrope?

Lycan is a werewolf, and is a shortened version of "lycanthrope". It was first discovered in Greek Mythology, werewolf meaning Man Wolf. Several ways to become a lycanthrope, AKA moonlight therian, including wearing a complete wolfskin belt pacing in the moonlight,cooking soup including wolfsbane and eating it for dinner, (Probably doesn't work o.O not many want to become one.) and sleeping in full moonlight on a full moon. Lycans normally have a sickness called lycanthropia... I don't think that's right but I will update you.
