Do dwarves become infected/cursed by werebeasts when they are bitten by then or just as soon as they are attacked?

[Chevaleresse]

They have to be bitten.

[SlyStalker]

And if they are bitten, is it a 100% chance that they will be infected?

[StagnantSoul]

Yep.

[SlyStalker]

And they only transform on the 13 full moons of the year?

[StagnantSoul]

Yep.

[Chevaleresse]

Yep.

Actually, pretty sure this has changed as of 40.x. Disease resistance now plays a factor in whether you become infected iirc. Still, it's best to be safe.

Does Disease Resistance come into play against syndromes as well?

I would assume so, since lycanthropy is syndrome-based.

Bite is 100% infection, but scratch who breach your skin can infect you too. If you have been scratched your resistance is counting, in case of bite, no.

But sadly, only in were form you can be turned into beast. If when i was bitten by "lesser form" i was not infected.

Not every bite is guaranteed to infect a dwarf, but the odds of a bite not transferring the curse are pretty low. Bites that take off a limb usually (if ever) don't transmit the curse, and I've heard a lot of people say that bites that don't pierce the skin also won't infect, but I can't say for certain.

Just a note in case it helps you. Don't lock infected dwarves in their room hoping to starve them to death, it won't work as the hunger/thirst will continuously reset, and also they'll eventually tantrum and bust out locked door and cause mayhem. I learned this the hard way early on in my fortress!

The accursed were drafted in a 'Death Row' squad and sent to a danger room with real weapons while wearing no armour. They were given no ceremony before the iron spears tore through their heretical flesh. Problem solved.

I recall the same, bites, or anything, that don't pierce the skin don't transfer the curse, so it's a bit like a poison bite that needs to inject the venom into the bloodstream. Has anyone seen a were-cobra yet?

Is that even a thing, given the lack of limbs?

I've been a were-gilla monster before in adventure mode, and you can inject venom. I didn't do any SCIEŃCE on whether or not the injections were related.
