remove alias lycanthrope (0) -> werewolf (30189)

Reason: Basically, Lycan is currently Aliased to "Werecreature" and Lycanthrope is aliased to "Werewolf". This is inconsistent and makes no sense as Lycan is simply an abbreviation of Lycanthrope; furthermore Lycan means Wolf and thrope means human; Lycanthrope therefore means "Wolf-Human", while a more accurate name would be Therianthrope I think we should stick to the fact that most individuals use Lycanthrope as a catch-all for all Were-creatures, as such this should be followed up be Aliasing Lycanthrope to Werecreature OVER Werewolf, as its weird that the abbreviation that removes the "Human" but keeps "Wolf" is aliased to the more generic version, while the one more commonly well known and more generically used one is aliased to the more specific classification. There is also an argument to make Lycanthrope Disambiguate to both Werecreature and Werewolf since it could mean either depending on the individual, so this BUR unaliases Lycan as well in case it would make more sense to alias it to either a Lycanthrope disambiguation OR the Werewolf Tag specifically...

Please respond with any feedback or thoughts you have, it is very much appreciated.

Edit: Removed Lycan changes, Lycnthrope should still be re-aliased to Werecreature, not Werewolf

lycan can't be aliased to lycanthrope if lycanthrope itself is aliased to something else (be it werewolf or werecreature). Since lycan is already aliased to werecreature, it shouldn't need changing.

I mean fair, part of me was trying to alias it to Werewolf sepcifically since Lycan is literally just "Wolf" that we got to because we forgot Lycanthrope means Wolf-Man and so shortened it back to Wolf
But fair, I'll edit to remove Lycan
Lycanthrope should still be re-aliased to Werecreature though, not werewolf
