Homebrew Werewolf Species Details

Werewolves are formidable creatures that bear the curse (or gift) of lycanthropy. Standing taller and more robust than their humanoid counterparts, werewolves blend the acute senses and primal strength of wolves with the adaptability and the versatility of humanoids. Navigating through a life shadowed by their dual nature, werewolves often grapple with acceptance and identity, living on the fringes of society or in tight-knit packs hidden from the world.
