Werebear (Variant)

Keen Smell. The werebear has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.

Regeneration. The werebear regains 10 hit points at the start of each of its turns. If the werebear takes damage from a silver weapon, this trait doesn’t function at the start of the werebear’s next turn. The werebear dies only if it starts its turn with 0 hit points and doesn’t regenerate.

Multiattack. In bear form, the werebear makes two claw attacks. In humanoid form, it makes two greataxe attacks. In hybrid form, it can attack like a bear or a humanoid.

Bite (Bear or Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) piercing damage. If the target is a humanoid, it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with werebear lycanthropy.

Claw (Bear or Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) slashing damage.

Greataxe (Humanoid or Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d12 + 4) slashing damage.

Change Shape. The werebear polymorphs into a Large bear–humanoid hybrid or into a Large bear, or back into its humanoid form. Its statistics, other than its size and AC, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn’t transformed. It reverts to its humanoid form if it dies.
