A "Lycan" is a term often used to describe a werewolf, a mythical creature that can transform between human and wolf forms. This concept is rooted in folklore and has been popularized in various forms of media, including movies and books. Lycans are typically depicted as having enhanced strength, speed, and senses, making them formidable beings. In many stories, the transformation into a Lycan is triggered by the full moon or specific conditions. The lore surrounding Lycans often explores themes of duality, inner conflict, and the struggle between human nature and animal instincts, similar to other supernatural beings like vampires and shapeshifters.
