- — Cornell about his Lycanthrope army.
Lycanthropes are one of the three main races/groups lead by the Lords of Shadow. They are ruled by the Lycanthrope Dark Lord Cornell.
Background
When the spirit of Cornell left his body, all of his strength and anger was left behind giving birth to the Lycanthrope Dark Lord.
Lycanthropes come about in two possible ways. The first are humans that have been poisoned with an infectious disease known as the 'Werewolf Influenza', which is transmitted, in most cases, by the bite of another Lycanthrope. There is an old saying that goes like this, 'If you are bitten by a Lycan, better to let it gnaw,' and like most proverbs, it is probably true. Once infected with the disease, the transformation process can be completed in only a few minutes, after which the victim's mind will have been replaced with the savage instincts of a ruthless predator.
The second are those spawned from the Dark Lord himself, the Greater or 'pureblood' Lycanthropes. In these cases, their condition is not considered a disease, as the tranformation process has been deliberately chosen. The endowment of lycanthropy, however, is given to just anyone by the werewolf Dark Lord, and only a handful of his more loyal accolytes have received such a gift. The Dark Lord keeps these elite guards for special missions, and they are not only fearsome, but incredibly intelligent and formidable foes in combat.
A part of the Lycanthropes, there are the Wargs, but they seem to be like a specie appart from the Lycans, mostly because wargs completely preserve their animal part (walking on all fours, a more wolf-like form), while the Lycanthrophes are more 'humanized' (more intelligence, walking upright) that their more bestial kin. In fact, Wargs didn't appeared until the arrival of Cornell, so their origin could be explained in this way: they were originally wolves but thanks to the influence of the Dark lord, they were transformed into a more bestial and huge wolf form, and finally the Great wargs, which are simple wargs, but blessed by their Dark Lord, making them even more strong and bringing them special new powers like: wong regeneration and improved strength.
