Lycanthropy

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.

Lycanthropy is generally considered intrusive as animal forms tend to get burdened to overtaxed by inventory that was no problem before. To remove lycanthrophy, you can pray to your god, eat a sprig of wolfsbane, or quaff a potion of holy water.

To prevent lycanthropy, you can wear a ring of protection from shape changers.
