Talk:Lycanthropy

Moving around
This used to be the "Lycanthrope" page. It's probably best to have "Lycanthrope" and "Lycanthropes" redirect here, according to Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Naming conventions (adjectives). By all means, please state any objections! Fw190a8 01:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Good call, Focke. Zerak talk 21:27, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I disagree. "Lycanthropy" is not an adjective; it's a noun for the disease. This article should describe the disease, whereas "Lycanthrope" should describe the creature type. ~ Lhynard (talk) 08:10, February 2, 2019 (UTC)


 * I agree with you Lhynard. Do you think the "Lycanthropy" page should mention the distinction between "afflicted" individuals and those who have the hereditary form, or just the former? Ruf (talk) 17:12, April 15, 2019 (UTC)


 * Imo, it should cover all forms (and more than just those two). "Lycanthropes are humans who can transform themselves to resemble normal animals or monsters. The condition of being a lycanthrope, often referred to as a curse, is called lycanthropy". We should probably detail the different (true, infected, induced and cursed) lycanthropes, and also detail how lycanthropes are different to antherions (i.e., jackalweres).


 * Note: There are some very clear differences of what a lycanthrope is between D&D editions, as well as some odd cases / errors in between. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 17:38, April 15, 2019 (UTC)


 * I like what Priest suggests. ~ Lhynard (talk) 21:13, April 15, 2019 (UTC)
