Therianthropy

Therianthropy is the transformation of a person into an animal hybrid form. It can be voluntary or involuntary, casted, enchanted, or latent. As a condition, it can be contracted or inborn. The disposition of the transformed be aggressive, docile, or moderate and the preservation of their spirit's will can vary as well. Therianthrophy differs from kratonosis in its prominence of animal anatomy and bestial conciousness in the changed state. Though an at-will therianthropy resembles shapeshifting, it is a process started by the caster which unfolds according to its nature—there is no stopping at intermediate stages and it cannot be modified.
Wereforms, such as the werewolf, are the most common type of therianthropy.

== Astral Therianthropy ==
There is a rare and strange form of therianthropy in which the victim falls into a trance, their spirit astrally projects and with the power driving them forms a physical body around themselves, much like the body of a fae. When their romp is over, they awake, exhausted and with no memory of the experience.
