Lycanthropy: A very rare symptom of mental disorder in which an individual believes that he or she is or that he can change into a wolf.
As Daniel entered his chamber for the night his candle was burning like the sole torch in the Babylonian kingdom. Daniel stands before an open window where he has prayed three times a day for thirty years while in captivity. He is expectantly waiting with a singular focus on the promise of the Lord to restore the children of Israel with the fall of Babylon. For a messiah is still to come from the heritage of Judaica, a throng exiled exiled in Babylon; and the devil would thwart an earthly reign of God through any means necessary. Daniel believed he knew everything about King Nebuchadnezzar, but from the window Daniel saw a ghastly sight that would remain seared in his mind for the rest of his days. Far away from the hieght of the looming turrets of the kingdom King Nebuchadnezzar sat against a tree, and he was eating blades of grass and berries from the earth that the deer of the fields graze upon. King Nebuchadnezzar's hair was long, pure white and fell past his knees. His beard extended to the middle of his cheast. From afar because of all of his unkempt hair he could resemble a wolfen creature. The hair follicles on the king's arms were thick, long strands of white that were so thick the white skin upon the king' forearms were no longer visible. King Nebuchadnezzar's fingers and toenails were long and came to sharp points like eagle talons. Even several of the king's teeth had been filed sharp to elongated encisors which resembled a wolfen bite. The king was rumored to live among the wild beasts at this time just like a wolf. for a moment King Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel made direct eye contact. The countenance of the king was not like any man Daniel had ever seen. The king uttered a screeching sound, and made a gesture with his right hand as if it was a claw to tear through tender flesh.
