Lykae are mythical creatures often depicted as werewolves in folklore and fantasy literature. They are typically described as humans who can transform into wolves or wolf-like beings, usually during a full moon. This transformation is often linked to a curse or a supernatural event, granting them enhanced strength, speed, and senses. In various stories, Lykae are portrayed as both fearsome predators and tragic figures struggling with their dual nature. They are commonly associated with themes of identity and the battle between humanity and primal instincts. The concept of Lykae is prevalent in many cultures, influencing modern interpretations of werewolves in movies and books.
