Does a character who's been cursed with lycanthropy change into it's animal form or it's hybrid form with the full moon? The text SRD says two things that have led to my confusion.
which implies that a lycanthrope can be both forms since natural lycanthropes don't need to make checks. There doesn't seem to be any rules for when a PC with the disease changes to it's hybrid form, it only covers the animal form:
On a failed check to return to humanoid form, the character must remain in animal or hybrid form until the next dawn, when he or she automatically returns to humanoid form.

When a character contracts lycanthropy through a lycanthrope’s attack, no symptoms appear until the first night of the next full moon. On that night, the afflicted character involuntarily assumes animal form and becomes a ravening beast, forgetting his or her own identity. The character remains in animal form, assuming the appropriate alignment, until dawn and remembers nothing about the incident.
