Your family are marked by this, although very few would recognise the signs. Others might refer to you as hot-tempered or animalistic in nature. There is always a worry that someone might realize your true nature and reveal it, leading to you suffering from the stigma associated with being a Lycan Blood.

All Lycan Blood share the following traits, regardless of the lycanthropic species their bloodline is connected to:
- Claws - Each of the Lycan Blood’s hands transforms into a claw, which can be used as a weapon if it’s empty. It deals 1d6 slashing damage on a hit. Once on each of the Lycan Blood’s turns, when they attack with a claw using the Attack action, they can make one additional claw attack as part of the same action.
- Heightened Senses - the Lycan Blood has sharper senses than most beings, as a result they gain advantage on any Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.
- Immunity to all forms of Lycanthropy.
