==Lycanthropy in the Bible?==
 
In the book of the prophet Daniel, chapter 5 we can read a possible instance of actual lycanthropy:
 
<sup>18</sup>O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:<sup>19</sup>And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.<sup>20</sup>But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:<sup>21</sup>And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
