Werewolf

From Ardrana

Werewolves are the most feared of the lycanthropes, men who can transform into wolf-like beasts. They should not be confused with wolfweres -- wolves who turn into men. Great enmity exists between werewolves and wolfweres.

The 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 1 foot taller and stronger than their human forms. The bodies are fur-covered and have short tails, wolflike legs, and heads that are combinations in varying degrees of human and lupine features.

A second form of hybrid is more wolflike, and may be mistaken for a large wolf when it runs on all four legs. This hybrid can also walk erect and has human-like hands.

Another type of werewolf looks exactly like a large wolf about the size of a bear. This creature has no human features, although the eyes may glow red in the dark.

Note: Werewolves originally appeared in this form in the 2nd Edition Monstrous Manual for the AD&D game from TSR. Their use here is for the purposes of providing context for the campaign only.
