Hog wild!

Alright beebop I see you

Bad Elder Scrolls 2 flash backs...

Feels like there should be some sort of constitution-based saving throw for each wound a character takes to avoid lycanthropy?  You can only get it id one of your parents had it?  That would die out pretty quick.   Think I'll be homebrewing some infection rules. 

Look at the Tusks attack.

hmm thanks!  I skipped to the Curse of Lycanthropy section and it didnt mention it there.  Made a bad assumption!

"A non-lycanthrope humanoid hit by an attack that carries the curse of lycanthropy must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + the lycanthrope’s proficiency bonus + the lycanthrope’s Constitution modifier) or be cursed"

Alright Bebop’s in the game, where’s Rocksteady!?

I seem to remember that depending on the form of your lycanthrophy 1 of your stats would get changed. (I remember that werebear turns your strength to 1) I can't find in the discription anymore did something change?

Yes, in the monster manual you can find it in a side note.

"Wereboar. The character gains a Strength of 17 if his or her score isn't already higher, and a + 1 bonus to AC while in boar or hybrid form (from natural armor). Attack and damage rolls for the tusks are based on Strength. For the Charge- trait, the DC is 8 + the character's proficiency bonus + Strength modifier."

Pumba’s looking a little funny

So if you have an orc variant of a wereboar would that mean they would resemble a Gamorrean guard? Haha

what would happen on a full moon if you were to get gored by a wereboar, and later be bitten by a werewolf? would you become a hybrid of the two?

Whichever one cursed you first is what you will become, in this case, unless the wereboar failed to curse the humanoid, they'd become a wereboar.

The character gains a Strength of 17 if his or her score isn’t already higher, and a +1 bonus to AC while in boar or hybrid form (from natural armor). Attack and damage rolls for the tusks are based on Strength. For the Charge trait, the DC is 8 + the character’s proficiency bonus + Strength modifier

Does this mean "While in boar or hybrid form, the character gains a Strength of 17 (if his or her score isn’t already higher) and a +1 bonus to AC (from natural armor)"? Or does it mean as it's written that only the AC changes while in boar/hybrid form and STR is 17 regardless of form? I'm confused about whether the modifying clause pertains to both parts of the sentence or just the latter.

 I was also "scanning" the comments to find an answer to this. The way I understand what's written is that you the 17 STR is active at all times and that only the AC would go up. It also goes along with the rule-of-cool, just imagine a scrawny sorcerer/wizard that suddenly crushes things he touches XD

It would be cool if there was a back country razorback version that is more dexterous and has a few similar abilities as the bugbear.

The 17 STR seems to be active at all times based on the Weretiger & Wererat descriptions. Neither of those lycanthropes give an AC bonus and their summaries just read "Weretiger. The character gains a Strength of 17 if his or her score isn’t already higher." / "Wererat. The character gains a Dexterity of 15 if his or her score isn’t already higher." Assuming that the Wereboar and others would be the same

Yes, just, yes.
