A werewolf in Dungeons & Dragons is a classic lycanthropic creature that embodies the tension between civilization and savage instinct. At its core, a werewolf is a humanoid cursed to transform into a monstrous hybrid of human and wolf, or into a full wolf, typically under the light of the full moon. This transformation is not merely physical; it represents a profound loss of control, as primal urges overwhelm reason, morality, and social bonds.

In the lore of the game, werewolves are often created through a supernatural curse, most commonly transmitted by the bite of another werewolf. Those afflicted may struggle desperately to resist the curse, while others embrace it, reveling in the strength, speed, and ferocity it grants. This duality makes werewolves compelling antagonists or tragic figures, capable of sympathy as well as horror. A peaceful villager by day may become a ruthless predator by night, leaving devastation in their wake without conscious memory of their actions.

Mechanically, werewolves are known for their resilience and lethality. They possess heightened senses, formidable physical power, and rapid healing that allows them to shrug off most mundane injuries. Traditional weapons are often ineffective, with silver or magic required to harm them reliably. This durability forces adventurers to prepare carefully, research folklore, and adapt their tactics rather than relying on brute force alone.

Narratively, werewolves serve as rich storytelling tools in Dungeons & Dragons. They can anchor mysteries involving unexplained killings, moral dilemmas about curing versus killing the afflicted, or explorations of inner darkness and self-control. Whether encountered as fearsome monsters, cursed allies, or even player characters, werewolves embody the enduring fantasy theme of humanity’s struggle against the beast within. In many campaigns, they symbolize the thin line between order and chaos, reminding heroes that monsters sometimes wear familiar faces and trusted names.
