Does any cannon source say anything about this? IIRC, canon-wise lycanthropy is lethal for all non-humans. The only non-human lycanthropes I remember in Mystara are the orc devil swines.

PC4 allows for demihuman and non-human lycanthropes if the DM wants it in his campaign. I honestly don't see any reason why nonhuman lycanthropes shouldn't be allowed except possibly out of game balance. Whether to allow them as PCs, that is another matter though...

Well, there are reasons for specific races. E.g., historically in Minrothad lycanthropy hit humans, not elves, so it's reasonable that elves are not affected in the same way as humans by at least those strains of lycanthropy that were found in the great lycanthropic plague.

Subject: Re: Where are the Qauriks I'd have to check, but I think a couple of them (garls and hephastons?) wound up in DA1 Adventures in Blackmoor, not that I agree with their inclusion there. Me, I'm one for trying to keep certain monsters fairly local to their place of origin as overuse has tended to weaken their uniqueness (phanatons and rakasta come to mind).

Okay, assuming the Quariks are original to the CC, could we possibly consider placing them in, say, antarctic Davania? Or maybe somewhere in the polar openings, perhaps?
