Through a series of mutations the disease that causes Lycanthropy can be spread to Canines, specifically dogs and wolves. The spread to canines follows the same spread pathways as Lycanthropy amongst humans. If rolling for Cynanthropy use the following D20 roll: 1-2: Death, the canine dies 3-18: No Infection, the canine survives 19-20: Infection, the canine become ill

The infected dog or wolf goes through a form of maddness that would be similar to the actions of a rabid dog going through furious rabies. The diease spreads rapidly through the dogs system and the furious stage does not last long. The disease form is limited by comparision to the human counterpart. Within the infected dog or wolf the disease is limited to an augmented dog/wolf form and a monstrous dog/wolf form.

Diease progression:

Initially the canine will show mild symptons of being sick including: Pica, Fever, Seizures, Salivation, & Lethargy. 1d4 days from infection the canine will enter the furious stage with the above symptons replaced by extreme agression. This stage is very brief but intense, 1d4 hours, fading once the canine exhausts itself or is exhausted. During the furious stage the canine will take the monstrous canine form. Assuming the canine survives the furios stage the canine will be able to enter the monstrous form when strongly arroused, such as: during a hunt, or when it is in danger. Once the furious stage has passed the canine will return to its normal canine state, remebering familiar connections and training. Given time and training a canine can be taught to control the tranisiton. This is like any kind of animal training, just more dangerous.

Forms:

Augmented Canine: This form most closely represents the natural state of the canine, though it is now stronger, faster, and smarter than it was.

Monstrous Canine: Similar to the Monstrous Wolf form of Lycanthropy. Bigger, Stronger, and pissed off!

Designer Notes: I did not give specific stats for the Cynanthropy forms because I do not have a base to work from.
