The phenotype of a lycanthrope is the species of animal a lycanthrope can transform into via transfiguration.[1]
Beyond the obvious physical abilities, a lycanthrope's phenotype affects its personality[2], its social relations[3], the amount of fresh meat it requires per day[4], and its aversions to chemical banes and weapons[5]
Dr. van Richten recognizes the existence the following lycanthropic phenotypes: werebadger, werebat, werebear, wereboar, werecat, werecoyote, werefox, werejackal, werejaguar, werelion, wereorca, wererat, wereraven,wereseal, wereshark, weresnake, weretiger, werewalrus, and of course the werewolf. According to van Richten, all phenotypes come from animals that are at least partially carnivorous[6]
It is possible for a humanoid to become infected with more than one phenotype, though the most recent version is generally the one to manifest. If a lycanthrope has gone through transfiguration, it generally is immune to further strains of lycanthropy.[7]
