That's very good, considering there's every possibility that lycanthropy is yet another thing that Zagreus could bring out of the dream world. And no one wants him to have the ability to transmit anything via bite.

Really, Zagreus understands and sympathises with the bear's obvious confusion and anger. He really isn't supposed to be large and jabberwock-shaped. Apparently the dreaming missed that memo. Perhaps you could have a word with it, over a cup of tea. The sarcasm and annoyance are nearly tangible.
