Local Lycanthropes

























Lycanthropes are a fun monster type and the usual types are well known. The RUS rpg had lycanthropy as a possibility for every character and a bunch of animals people don't usually think of. They were not obligated to be bloody killers but were persecuted. As a monster fan as a child, I had my Usebourne books with ere snakes, elephants and other lycanthropes. Actually, my favourite in dnd is the Devil Swine (Bronze Golems need more love in your dnd too). I like specialist clerics in my game who can turn lycanthropes and force them to change.

So there is just some tables of regional were creatures.
I have considered a goblinisation disease that protects you from other plagues.

These are just ideas though I would try and cover many if I did a monster book.
