Lycanthropes (半獣人, Hanjū hito, half-beast people) are a race in the Suikoden series. Bob is the only known member of this race.
Information
Lycanthropes are a race of half-beast, half-humans who transform into werewolves, with Bob being one prominent example.
There are few lycanthropes in the world, so not many details are known. A Lycanthrope Village once existed in the Grasslands but was destroyed by Windy at some point in the past.
In Bob's case, his natural form is that of a werewolf, and he maintains his human form by using the power of his Rabid Fang Rune.
