 ==Causes==
-The causes of lycanthropy are very diverse. Sometimes a normal pendragon is born with the alter-ego, which manifests into lycanthropy. Others become infected through a curse, while others develop it after a very traumatic event. Very rarely, the virus can be transferred through blood and, even more rare, sexual intercourse with a transformed individual.

While patients with manageable or mild lycanthropy can undergo psychiatric treatment, many severe individuals remain detained by the state's mental health centres.

-As previously stated, the common pendragon, ''Draco sapiens'', usually expresses minor to mediocre physical change when transformed. However, some subspecies like the Takula and the Anubi are especially prone to extreme physical transformation. It is postulated this is due to the subspecies either restricted genetic heritage.

+==Symptoms==
 This disease, when inactive, has no physical or mental manifestations. During periods of inactivity, carriers can function normally as they would prior to infection. Often times, carriers aren't even aware of their affliction until it manifests itself under the spell of a full moon or sometimes in times of great emotional excitement. When this happens, the pendragon will seem to revert to basic instincts, and will usually communicate in a series of growls and grunts. Physical metamorphosis within the common pendragon usually ranges from minor to mediocre, suggesting pendragons have developed a historical resistance; however, some subspecies, notably the Anubi and Takula, are particularly susceptible to extreme transformation.  Warning signs of this can be detected in the eyes, which usually change colour when the pendragon in question is transformed or on the brink of.
-=Transformation=
+==Transformation==
 When a weredragon transforms into the feral state, they often lose the mental capacity for logic, communication, and overall 'common sense'. However, this is compensated for by an increase in stamina, strength, and often times, more powerful spells in the transformed state. A weredragon is almost always extremely dangerous when transformed; do not attempt to subdue the said dragon. Doing so will only cause it to struggle harder, reverting into the feral state even deeper.
