Lycanthropy (Skyrim)

Lycanthropy is a feature set to be in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. If the player contracts Lycanthropy the player will turn into a Werewolf.

While transformed you can only use melee weapons (claws), and you are locked to the third-person camera perspective. Also you can have a movement speed boost (sprint function) while running on all fours, as confirmed in a leaked video. Werewolf form comes with its own unique finishing moves, where the tranformed player will pounce upon their foe and shred them with their claws.

Being a werewolf in Skyrim will NOT allow you roam around in feral form non-stop, however, it is possible to stay in feral form longer by killing and feeding upon enemies, see Bloodlust.
