The beta werewolf can use its action to polymorph into a hybrid or wolf form, or back into humanoid. In hybrid and wolf forms, its speed increases to 60 ft. and it gains natural weapon attacks. Its statistics remain unchanged. Equipment isn’t transformed.

Some betas may need discipline or training to access wolf form (DM discretion).
