Lycanthropy is a disease that can be contracted in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. Similar to Vampirism, the infected party transforms into a lycanthropic creature. Two types of lycanthropes transmit this disease: werewolves and wereboar. The disease is spread through direct contact with afflicted creatures. Specifically, every successful hit from a werewolf or wereboar carries a 0.6% chance of infecting the player character. Disease immunity and resistance will not prevent infection—only vampire characters are actually immune to lycanthropy.
