I recently had a wererat attack, and two of my citizens got infected. However, when they turned into wererats at the next full moon, they were completely friendly - they didn't attack anyone, no one attacked them, and they kept going about their jobs.  Anyone know what was going on?

Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.

jokes aside, this is kind of awesome.
do they keep their armor/weapons when transformed?
if so, you totally have to weaponize this - the perfect wererat super military might be in reach

Sometimes, an infected mother will not attack their baby, but this is not consistent.

But to not attack anyone nor destroy buildings...Well, now. I don't really know, it seems like they're treated as members of your civ/group still. Did they perhaps perform the same single job for the whole length of transformation?

They happily switch from job to job as usual.  They do not attack any other dwarfs, HOWEVER - they will kill any domestic animals they come across.

Ooh. I recall that behaviour happened with the reanimated dead in TuftedStockades, as well as one mod. Migrants could happily pass the zombie cow in doorway, only fighting and dying to it's two-handed sword if their pets got attacked.

Now I have something to do with a wererabbit I have locked away.

Interesting update: my friendly lycanthropes transformed while a caravan was visiting and killed a wandering cat. This enraged the caravan guards, who then attacked the werecritters. The fighting did not spread.

Possibly because the caravan guards were not friends with anyone at your fortress.
