Special Traits

  • Shapechanger. 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 armor class, 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.
  • Legendary Resistance (2/Day). If the werewolf fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
  • Pack Leader. The alpha werewolf has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of the werewolf ‘s allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn’t incapacitated. Likewise, each of the alpha werewolf ‘s allies has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if the alpha werewolf is within 5 feet of the creature and isn’t incapacitated.
