When Spy becomes lycanthrope, when he shadows other characters is he forced to attack them or does the golden rule apply and his special abilities allow him only to transport to the other characters' space and in encounter the space ?

Lycan card forces him to attack, but his ability forbids him from doing so. If memery serves, a cannot rule beats have to rule, so Spy can't attack.

Correct, I find it easy to remember the rule by thinking of the ninja and followers, he cannot have any followers so even when he draws the hag or poltergiest and must take them, he cannot.
