Homebrew Werewolf Species Details

Werewolves are fierce, ferocious creatures between humans and wolves that hunt or roam at night and sleep during the day. They all have excellent eyes, thick fur, and sharp claws and teeth. Werewolves stand very tall and are lanky, with defined muscles from combat. They can be quite mean to humans and elves unless the clan they grew up in was near them. They move slightly faster than humans when on 2 feet and extremely fast when on all fours. They can see very well at night, and are slightly sensitive to full daylight. Their claws and teeth provide extra damage and the fur keeps them warm. Werewolves came to be when the wolf god Grrrawarggrrr (Keyamurron in Common) created a tribe of warriors to protect the rest of the wolves that kept getting chased out of their homes. They are not very well-treated by a lot of people on account of their scary looks, but werewolves don't usually mind. 

Werewolf Traits

Sharp claws and teeth give werewolves vicious melee attacks. Nocturnal living gives them excellent night vision and sensitivity to bright light. Fur protects from the cold and provides natural armor.

Nocturnal

Their whole lives being lived in the dark of night gives werewolves full vision when it's dark, but sensitivity to bright light makes them less effective during the day.
