Traits

Temperament
Lycañata are rather harmless and do not attack humans unless provoked.While bites can happen, these monsters have a strict diet of sweets, sugary drinks and desserts. Don't get in their way.Bipedal
These monsters can move and stand on two legs but find running on all fours more convenient.Intelligent
Lycañata are capable of speech and are active problem solvers.Reckless
Every night is a party for the Lycañata but their pure drive for thrills often leaves them vulnerable to accidents and stupid mistakes. As they're... Rather short-sighted and irresponsible.Social
Werepiñata are happiest when they're with their party pack, a group of other Lycañata, which act as protection, connection, and community.Displays of Affection
Lycañata may share their sweets stash with you as a sign of trust— CAUTION, while delicious, Lycañata sweets are highly cursed.Rowdy
Play biting and other roughhousing is a common sign of kinship between friendly werepiñata.
Note: This is generally speaking and is bound to change depending on the boundaries of the individual.~Lifespan
A Lycañata's life is shrouded in mystery since they live the majority of their life in secret. Being a subspecies of werewolf, Lycañatas age slower than an average human and regenerate at a quicker rate.

Sadly, being a brightly colored monster stuffed with sweets has its downsides.
Some humans find it appropriate to threaten or even break Lycañatas.Luckily that's where the Lycan part of this monster comes in. Wicked claws and a powerful bite keep bat swinging humans at bay. But they'd better act fast, one brutal bash from a bat could splinter a Lycañata's hide or worse...

King Sized Lycañata

It's rumored, werepiñatas that have successfully partied 99 times in a row are hit with a hearty level up—Upgrading to a KING SIZE beast, bolstering new abilities and are PERMANENTLY lycan'd up. These behemoths are revered as the PARTY BOSS.Any sub-species of Lycañata that becomes King Sized also has their own special attributes improved as well.

Rock Candy Lycañata

This peculiar mutation of Lycañata are known for their high defense. A lining of hard candy lies just beneath their papery coat acting as a tough shield against physical blows. If their hide is splintered, a geyser of crystalized sugar rapidly seals the puncture.This sugar rock gradually chips away, leaving the werepiñata feeling good as new.King Sized Lycañata of this type have rock candy that can shrug off even gunshots without so much as a scratch.

Jelly Filled Lycañata

The Jelly Filled variant of lycanata are distinguished by their insides being comprised of a viscous slime.Unlike most lycanata, the Jelly filled can survive outside of their paper shell. Unfortunately, they quickly lose shape becoming amorphous blobs, so most Jellies tend to try and find stability in a wide variety of shells.Some say that these types of lycanata are not too much unlike mimics, housing in various mundane objects or smaller man-made pinatas.(UNFINISHED)
