Uh, Carrot is actually a zoanthrope (from the Greek "zoion",
meaning animal, and "anthropos", meaning man or human being). A
zoanthrope is usually defined as one suffering from a mental disorder
such that he or she imagines himself or herself to be an animal. Thus
zoanthropy is a blanket term for such disorders as lycanthropy.
In Carrot's case, of course, he actually does turn into an animal,
(or one of twelve animals, in the case of the manga Carrot). In any event,
he's a zoanthrope. If he's afraid of anything, he's probably better called
a Chocolate-and-Tira-phobe.
