In Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), a werewolf is a classic monster that features prominently in many campaigns and adventures. Werewolves are cursed beings, typically humans who have been afflicted with lycanthropy, a supernatural condition that transforms them into wolf-like creatures under certain conditions, often during the full moon.

Physically, werewolves possess a hybrid form, combining human and wolf features. In this form, they have heightened strength, agility, and senses, making them formidable adversaries in combat. They also retain their human intelligence, allowing them to strategize and plan attacks.

Werewolves are feared for their ability to spread their curse to others through their bite. Those who survive a werewolf attack may become infected with lycanthropy themselves, leading to a cycle of new werewolves being created. Overcoming lycanthropy often requires powerful magic or special rituals, adding an element of danger and urgency to encounters with these creatures.

In D&D lore, werewolves are often depicted as part of larger werewolf packs, led by an alpha werewolf or werewolf lord. These packs may inhabit remote wilderness areas, haunted forests, or even hidden within cities, posing a threat to unsuspecting travelers and urban populations alike.

Roleplaying opportunities abound when including werewolves in a D&D campaign. Players may encounter werewolves as enemies to be defeated, allies to be aided in breaking their curse, or even as tragic figures struggling to control their bestial urges. The moral and ethical dilemmas surrounding lycanthropy can add depth to storytelling and character development.

Overall, werewolves in Dungeons & Dragons provide an exciting and versatile element for Dungeon Masters to incorporate into their games, offering both challenging encounters and opportunities for rich narrative exploration.
