The wolfwere is an evil and hateful creature that delights in the brutal slaying of Humans and demi-Humans alike. In many cases, the wolfwere is able to attack its victims with utter surprise because of its ability to assume the shape of a Human of exceptional charisma.
The wolfwere is able to assume a wide variety of shapes at will. Transformation from one form to another takes only a few moments. Its true shape, and that in which it prefers to spend the vast majority of its time, is that of a large wolf. When in this state, it is almost indistinguishable from a dire wolf.
When a wolfwere is attempting to lure Humans or demi-Humans into an ambush, it will assume the shape of a member of their race. Almost without exception, the new persona will not be of the same sex as the potential victim. Thus, a wolfwere which is stalking a male Elf will transform itself into a female Elf.
