Lycanthropy is an intrinsic conveyed by being bitten by a werecreature - a werejackal, wererat, or werewolf. It is also conveyed by eating the corpse of one of the above. The message "You feel feverish" is displayed upon acquiring the intrinsic.
The intrinsic transforms you into the animal form at regular intervals. Quaffing a potion of unholy water will do the same. While in were form, you can summon jackals, rats, or wolves as pets.
