What kind of lycanthropes are in Golarion


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


Other than the ones covered in the Bestiary books, what kinds of lycanthropes can be found in Golarion? Is it safe to assume that anything previously appearing in D&D material exists in the Pathfinder Campaign setting? Even non-human lycanthropes like dwarven and gnomish werebadgers or elven foxwomen?

Far as I can tell lycanthropes haven't changed all that much, and there are few limitations to the mixes you can have.

There are only 3 limiting factors that I see:
1. The base creature must have the humanoid type(possibly in addition to any other types)
2. The base animal characteristics applied must be from an animal[as in creature type animal] within 1 size catagory of the base humanoid. So for example, no elven foxwomen[foxes are tiny, elves are medium] but you can have gnomish foxwomen, or elvish wolf-women, yadda yadda re-skin to your liking.
3. Either the base creature(for afflicted) or 1 of the parents(for naturals) must be able to be affected by curses, as this is how lycanthropy is spread....I dont know of any entire race immune to curse effects, but if there is one, it couldnt be a lycanthrope.

But there ya go, so mix and match to your hearts content.

IIRC all of the original TSR foxwomen were either human or elven


Lycanthropes have been greatly expanded upon in Golarion canon recently with the publication of "Blood of the Moon".

Here's the article I wrote on the PathfinderWiki on lycanthropes (needs a bit more updating): LYCANTHROPE


Cool, I really like the idea of race specific forms of lycanthropy


We do also have Kitsune for foxhumans or potentially foxelves.
