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.
Keen Hearing and Smell. The werewolf has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.
Dash. The swift werewolf has the option to move up to double its movement speed, but it can only attack once on a turn that it uses this ability.
Improved Dodge. The werewolf gets to reroll one failed Dexterity saving throw. This ability is recharged on this werewolf's next turn in combat.
Unarmored Defense. The werewolf's DEX bonus is added to their AC (reflected in stat block)
Multiattack. (Humanoid or Hybrid Form Only). The werewolf makes two attacks: two with its spear (humanoid form) or one with its bite and one with its claws (hybrid form).

Description
A werewolf is a savage predator that can appear as a humanoid, as a wolf, or in a terrifying hybrid form—a furred and well-muscled humanoid body topped by a ravening wolf’s head. This breed of werewolf is faster than its kin, and can outpace its bretheren and even birds when running at a full sprint. In combat they quickly evade attacks, and are troublesome to hit.
