Werewolves are the most feared of the lycanthropes, men who can transform into wolf like beasts. Do not confuse them with wolfweres, they are mortal enemies. Human forms of werewolves have no distinguishing traits. The werewolf form is equally varied, many have a bipedal form that is a hybrid of human and lupine features. These creatures are about a foot taller in their human forms, the bodies are fur covered and have short tails wolflike legs and heads are that are varying combinations of lupine features.

Second form of hybrid is more wolflike and may be mistaken for a large wolf when it runs on all fours, can also walk erect and has human hands.

Another type (about 20%) looks exactly like a large wolf about the size of a bear, this creature has no human features and the eyes may glow red in the dark. Combat.

The closer to human form a werewolf is the more able they are to use weapons common to their human identity class. The bite of a werewolf is fearsome and can inflict massive damage.

Only silver or enchanted weapons of +1 or better can do any damage to were creatures. Anything else is pointless. Cases have been noted where weapons shatter upon impact or the attacker can loose the weapon from it bouncing off the creature if not enchanted or silver. Only supernatural creatures can harm one in a hand-to-hand situation.

Were creatures possess supernatural strength.

Werewolves attack in packs; packs including female and male young drive the adults to hit harder. If the female is attacked, the male hits at double damage. If the young are attacked the female hit at triple damage.

Cubs until full growth hit at half damage.

Females often produce litters of pups numbering 5 to 10 cubs and are born in hybrid form often resembling fuzzy human babies with wolflike faces.

Cubs grow for the first five years at same rate a human does, at the 6th year they attain 60% and can transform into their other forms. Each additional year adds 20% growth and are considered mature at age 10 human years. If a werewolf mates with a woman the temperament reflects the father, the children are violent combative and prone to mental illness.

There is a 10% chance that each child from the onset of adolescence that the child will spontaneously transform into a true were wolf. Werewolves are hostile to all other werecreatures that oppose them including lycanthropes and werebears.
