'''Jackalweres''' are one of the two most prominent examples of "antherion" ([[therianthrope]]s with the base form of an intelligent animal) in [[Dungeons & Dragons]], with the other being the [[wolfwere]] - in fact, the wolfwere has actually fallen away in popularity over the years, whilst the jackalwere has only grown increasingly prominent over the editions.

Jackalweres are evil-aligned and for some reason have the ability to put people to sleep with their gaze. Jackalweres are pathological liers, with saying truths causing them subtle winces of pain, allowing [[Wisdom]] characters to pick up if the party is dealing with a Jackalwere.

The origin of Jackalweres and what gods they are associated with changes depending on the edition.  In 4th edition, Jackalweres were a tribe of jackal people who were given the ability to shapeshift by the [[Primal Spirit|Primal Spirit]] The Dark Sister to help them get revenge on humanity, and they are sometimes found in cults of [[Asmodeus]] and [[Zehir]].  In 5th edition, they were once ordinary Jackal that were changed by [[Graz'zt]] to act as minions for his [[Lamia]]s.

The jackalwere's "lycanthrope" counterpart, the [[werejackal]], is an obscure monster native to the [[Demiplane of Dread]].
