| - | ===Shape change===
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Lycanthropes can assume at least two forms - human and animal. Many can also assume a "hybrid" form that is bipedal with animal characteristics or even transform a small part of their body at will (for example, "growing" fingers into claws).
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Changing between forms takes a great deal of energy; most lycanthropes must feed immediately after changing to animal form and collapse into a comatose state for several hours after returning to human form. Stronger lycanthropes do not need to feed immediately or collapse, but are extremely tired.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Lycanthropes who spend too much time in animal form may not be able to shift back completely. As a result, some lycanthropes have fangs or voices or eyes resembling their animal form, even when in human shape.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Other shapeshifters may have different forms available, and may experience different effects.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Contagion===
| + | |
| - | Lycanthropes' bodily fluids are contagious, but only when the lycanthrope is in an animal or hybrid state. Lycanthropy can be also be passed along by getting a bad batch of lycanthrope vaccine.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | * All lycanthropes are fast, strong, and resistant to damage. Lycanthropes' strength appears to depend somewhat on their actual size and somewhat on their level of supernatural power.
| + | |
| - | * Lycanthropes can recover from almost any wound other than that caused by silver weapons.
| + | |
| - | * Lycanthropes have extremely acute senses, even in human form.
| + | |
| - | * Lycanthropes are effectively allergic to silver and feel physical pain from even skin contact, although some seem to enjoy silver jewerly.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Command of animals===
| + | |
| - | Lycanthropes appear able to command animals of their species.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Reaction to vampire's call===
| + | |
| - | Lycanthropes can be "called" and commanded by a vampire with the ability to call their species of animal. Sufficiently powerful lycanthropes can resist a vampire's call, or even interfere with the call, preventing the vampire from calling other lycanthropes or animals.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Similarly, sufficiently powerful shapeshifters, are able to look vampires in the eyes without being affected by their mental powers.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Alpha weres===
| + | |
| - | Some shapeshifters reach "alpha" or "master" status, a power level similar to that of a master vampire. Alpha shapeshifters may display some of the following traits:
| + | |
| - | * An ability to resist transforming.
| + | |
| - | * The ability to partially shapeshift, for example shifting hands into claws, or even "cosmetic" shapeshifting - shifting bones or flesh simply to alter appearance.
| + | |
| - | * The ability to force other shapeshifters to change form, or to prevent them from doing so.
| + | |
| - | * The ability to heal others, by a variety of means.
| + | |
