It’s not uncommon for a Born-Lycanthrope to become physically ill from the pain of their transformation, and often try to be in solitude for the ordeal, to not make others witness the agony of it. In one interview, a Born-Lycanthrope said; "it’s not like those who were turned, though I don’t doubt they suffer pain as well. They were injected with the magic, their body’s been charmed into this, it’s in their blood, but not their DNA. For me, and other lycanthrope kids I know, it’s not something we can cure. Most Turned-Lycanthropes get magical treatments, like Dittany, to lessen the effects of their curse. But ours isn’t a curse, it’s just the genetics we were handed. It’s like experiencing a dramatic growth spurt times a hundred, it’s every bone in your body clicking into different places, every organ shifting to accommodate the shift. It’s not a transfiguration because this is just— this is what our bodies were born as. I mean, some of us, if we’re good enough with our magic, can transform outside of the moon if we focus long enough. It’s just not... A fun thing to do."
