Lythari are true lycanthropes, elves given the ancient curse of the werewolf through a ritual of transformation, or a birth to lycanthropic parents. Unlike their parents, Lythari do not transform into a hybrid of humanoid and wolf, instead possessing a true wolf form. Lythari are almost exclusively found in wood elf lands roaming in packs. Lythari have shaggier hair, sharper teeth, and more pointed ears, making them more animalistic looking than their wood-elf cousins. Though they may share in the curse of lycanthropy, unlike a werewolf or similar creature, the bite of the lythari does not spread their curse.
Attributes
Add these onto the Parent Race
Elven Weapon Training
You are proficient with the longsword, shortsword, shortbow and longbow
Wolf Shape
You can use your action to polymorph into a medium wolf, or back into your true form. Your statistics are the same in each form, except your wolf form’s AC is equal to 10 + your Dexterity modifier. Any equipment you are wearing or carrying transforms with you, becoming part of your wolf form, and your corpse transforms back into your true form if you die while in your wolf shape. You cannot
speak or cast spells while transformed.
While transformed, your sharp teeth become a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with your bite you deal 2d4 piercing damage and if the target is large or smaller you can use your bonus action to force the creature to make a Dexterity saving
throw or fall prone. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus. The damage of your bite increases to 2d6 at 11th level.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Gnoll.
