Lycanthrope Enhancement is an ability of werewolves and hybrids to allow them to channel their werewolf aspect through great emotional upheaval, specifically anger and being under threat. With this ability comes an effect that changes the color of their eyes to an orange or amber color. Makes them more powerful.
This gives them a boost their powers and abilities, the most notable being their physical strength, allowing them to perform incredible acts that under ordinary circumstances, they would be unable to do.
Werewolves[]
Werewolves such as Mason and Jules have demonstrated that they can jump very high under the effects of lycanthrope enhancement. This is due to the increase in strength that comes from channeling their inner werewolf abilities.
In Daddy Issues, Tyler Lockwood exhibited lycanthrope enhancement when he learned from Jules that Caroline had been lying to him about his uncle Mason's death, and how Damon Salvatore killed him. This led to Tyler becoming so enraged that he shoved Caroline into her car and his eyes flash gold.
Moonlight Rings[]
With the recent addition of Moonlight Ring, the ability to use lycanthrope enhancement has substantially changed among the werewolves who possess them.
The enchanted jewelry allows them to now have access to this ability, along with the ability to activate their Werewolf Bite on command, 24/7, with no need for anger as a trigger
