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 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.

or
one with its bite and one with its claws (hybrid form).
Question, why can weapons only be used in human form? The picture does show something similar to hands. I would think it would be rather simple to hold something. As for stats, should a female werewolf's stats be altered? Should they have a higher intelligence level considering wolves are 30% smarter than dogs (a dog is only as smart as a 5 day old wolf pup)? Would stats be different in the different forms? I know this is a lot to ask, but my friend told me to do a lot of research.
1. I think it would just be weird having a monsterous beast with claws and scary cutse giving teeth still poking you with a stick
2. If you run your own homebrew capaign you can do whatever you want, but in general gender doesn't give advantages
3. It's stated that only AC changes in the different forms, as for players though also strength changes, this is mostly just easier for the DM not having to check 2 or 3 stat blocks

Can a werewolf be a race for a character
e.g a werewolf fighter
You'd have to homebrew it. Otherwise, no. You pick a normal race, and then just say that they're a werewolf.
Check out the [race]shifter[/race] race. They basically lycanthropes stripped down for PC use (to the point of being called the “were-touched” in universe). You can find a free version of the race in Unearthed Arcana.
You can also hand the player a werewolf’s stat-block with class some levels tacked on, but that will be far less balanced.
it makes two spear attacks as a human
The average werewolf curse specifically makes you evil. It gives you evil urges that you can either give into or fight against. and if you resist it and go on a rampage that rampage would be even worse. It would be a completely animilistic inhuman creature that enjoys killing in gruesom ways just for the sake of killing. If you give in you basically just have to be a ******* to everyone around you and laugh at orphans and stuff... but at least you arent going all helsing attack on london on the orphanage.
They should have Pack Tactics as well.
Compromise your personality, or cope with terrible external consequences?
An nightmarish query for any moralistic character.
Just ran encounter with werewolves tonight and that’s exactly what I did.
First of all, in my Homebrew campaign, a werewolf bite makes the player like Larry Talbot - a soul cursed to turn into a wolf-man with no control over their urge to kill when the moon is full. If the player does not choose to have this curse removed, they may take a feat called Path of the Moon which allows them to control their abilities as shown here.
Second, why no Darkvision? My homebrew werewolves have this ability, but only to 30 feet and only in their wolf and hybrid forms. (Canines have better night vision, but lower visual acuity than humans, thus the reduced range.)
Is there a way that it can be stuck inside it's werewolf form?
Are werewolves allergic to chocolate?
2 spear attacks
i agree with this a lot
read it again, in human form you use the spear think and in hybrid you bite!
