The werewolf can use its action to polymorph into a wolf-humanoid hybrid or into a wolf, or back into its true form, which is humanoid. Its statistics, other than its AC, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn’t transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.

Keen Hearing and Smell.

The werewolf has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

Actions

Multiattack (Humanoid or Hybrid form only). The werewolf makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its claws or spear.
Bite (Wolf or Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) piercing damage. If the target is a humanoid, it must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with werewolf lycanthropy.
Claws (Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 7 (2d4 + 2) slashing damage.
Spear (Humanoid Form Only). Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage, or 6 (1d8 + 2) piercing damage if used with two hands to make a melee attack.

Lycanthropes

A lycanthrope is an accursed humanoid that can transform into a beast. These shapeshifters haunt the dark stories people tell to scare children. Most have heard tales of werewolves, but lycanthropes can come in any beast form: bears, boars, giant rats, and others. Some seem to be able to shift freely between their animal and their humanoid forms or even to a sort of hybrid. Others appear to be afflicted with their beastly form only when the moon is full. This curse is known to be contagious, so anyone bitten by such a creature should seek the help of powerful healers.
