I agree. I noticed it yesterday during a beta test.
Very cool unit 
i suggest you change the name though, to either:
Lykos (greek) legion
or
Lupus (latin) legion
some more lycophiliac info:
* werewolf in greek is "lykanthropos", as in misanthrop(os) which is hater of men-people.
*a well-known misanthropic (see how everthing links to everything else
) latin saying is: "homo est lupus homini" (man is wolf to man), or in another version: "homo homini lupus" (man is man's wolf)
*there are a myriad old popular tales throughout europe of people being transormed to werewolves after dark. In the balcans a very popular twist in such stories is that it is the woman that gets transformed into a wolf.
*a wolf is a very strong symbol of many things, particularly of things of sexual nature, but also symbolises the outcast.
It isnt at all strange that wolves are very often characters in cartoons; a wolf pack can also be seen as a parallelism of elementary or highschool groups of pupils & surely everyone has once felt as if they were just that, when being approached by such a hostile group
edit: ah, im sorry, i didnt realise that the last post here was from so long ago. this makes this a real

Yes, but since it was bumped I'll respond. The word Lycon here is a shorter version of Lycanthropes, which is possibley a modern conversion of that greek word you mentioned. It might not be totally accurate in terms of history, but in D&D it fits perfect. A Lupin in D&D is an enemy to the Werewolf, which belongs to the family of Lycanthropes in D&D. Obviously I'm not talking about anything in a school book, but in a game, which this units suites perfectly to me. 
So in effect, I'm not saying you are incorrect, so don't take it that way, I'm just referring to the reasoning behind the name it has now.
