Were-terminology

[(Anonymous)]

So, were- as a prefix is generally used to describe a creature that transforms into whatever follows the were-. Usually its alternative form is human, but sometimes that gets changed. It might be infectious or innate.

Is there a folkloric or common genre term for a creature that spreads its condition by bite, but which turns into an animal form and never turns back?

Vampire?

Re: Were-terminology

[(Anonymous)]

Most vampires aren't permanently animal-shaped, though, even the ones who can turn into bats or wolves or whatever. Zombies are even less likely turned animal-shaped.

*Zombies are even less likely to be turned animal-shaped. Fuck, I can't write today.

Cursed? That's all I can think of.

I'd browse through something like D&D's Monster Manual or other books (look for 3.5 .pdfs) for reference.

Here's the original one: http://www.scribd.com/doc/51123822/Monster-Manual-I-D-D-3-5

-were as a suffix?

Re: Were-terminology

[darkmanifest]

That would still be were-, I think. Or you can use the -anthrope suffix (lycanthrope, ailunranthrope, whatever). If the creature was a man at one point, and became an animal, then it would technically still be a human-animal even if it never turns back, hence, prefixes or suffixes that mean "man".

I would suggest metamorph. You could also go with mutant creature or something like transmutant.
