Further notes

The lycan (ライカン raikan?) are a mutant human species whom are noted for their canine-like characteristics resulting from an outbreak of Mold in Eastern Europe and the infestation of the Cadou parasite. From 1919 to 2021, they had carved out their territory in an isolated mountain village, where they preyed upon other humans. Lycan are believed extinct following the region's destruction by the Fungal Root.

Further notes[]

  • Though their name would imply a werewolf connection, Lycan are simply mutant humans. A more literal take on werewolves is the Vârcolac.
