 Description: Lycanthropes are former valorous bearman having succumbed
 to the werewolf's bite during a fight under full moon. They are thus imprisoned
 in their second skin and will be able never again take human form.
 Their meeting is by no means desirable.
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Nota: A next version is planned about the modification of Lycanthrope's geometries to remove
 the last metal parts when that will be possible. I'm able to remove them but impossible to
 re-import in the game. I also think that hide it by fur textures isn't a good idea because
 their 3D forms and transparence method isn't considered with holes that made.

| Doesn't make much sense to call it a lycanthrope, especially since that name comes from the greek legend of Lycaon who was turned into a wolf by zeus |

| I like it !  Well done! But indeed the name doesn't match
  Why don't you change it in "Arktothrope" or "Werearkos"/"Were-Arkos"? (coming from the greek root of Bear/Ours) ? ____________

| Lycanthrope is a man who has the Lycanthropy disease. 
 Bearman is another word for a were-bear but the Bearman is not evil.
 Moreover, there is a Bearman in the tale of Bilbo the Hobbit. He is good and helping.
 
 The word « Lycanthrope » is closer of wolf (Lycan) than Bear but
 we can use this word for speaking about a man who thinks he is a animal not just for wolf.
 
 So, I chose Lycanthrope as name to associate a lot of legends and facts together.
 
 This creature was good before to lose the fight against a werewolf.
 but sufferings generated by its new condition made evil of him and he cannot be back a human.
 
 So, I can add a chapter to all legends:
 werewolf is a man which transforms to wolf, werebear is a man which transforms to bear and
 a Lycanthrope is a Bearman became silk and evil after to be bitten by a werewolf.

 it has them all. I like to sort abilities by fighting importance.

 Not of all. he isn't proud of him and he don't interest to blood.
 Moreover, he hates its drain of life.

 ya, I could have done it. but wolf model is already used 3 times as NCF and bear model was not yet.
 Moreover, Worg (wolf's NCF upgrades) is another legend's creature noticed in Bilbo the Hobbit.
 Worg is close of werewolf.

| for him, I think. 
 Because its unlimited retaliation is worst because he drains each time.
 not just while he's attacking or while he can retaliate.
 
 You know if you attack him you lose some life.
 
 But all of this is not awesome, it's vampire lord's abilities......
