	The most dangerous part of facing a wolfwere is its song.

	'''Wolfweres''' are one of the sillier monsters in [[Dungeons & Dragons]] to have nonetheless persisted throughout the editions. As their name implies, they are "reverse [[werewolves]]", a [[therianthrope]] breed which in its native form is a wolf with [[regeneration]] and a human-like level of intelligence, and which can freely adopt human or half-human forms. They are particularly common in [[Ravenloft]], as the Darklord of Kartakass is a wolfwere.

They are particularly common in [[Ravenloft]], as the [[Darklord]] of Kartakass is a wolfwere.

	The basic difference between wolfweres and werewolves is that whilst werewolves are mindless killing machines, wolfweres are highly cunning and intelligent predators who just happen to prefer the flesh of humans and [[demihuman]]s. One of the things that make wolfweres different to werewolves is that they can freely tailor their humanoid forms as they see fit, taking on whichever race and even gender they like - in fact, in AD&D, they explicitly prefer to take on the opposite gender to their current target, in order to more easily seduce them away from safety and kill them. Wolfweres revile wolfsbane and are compelled to avoid it, and whilst they have no fear of silver, which can prove a deadly mistake to the monster hunter who confuses them for a werewolf, cold iron can hurt them just as badly as silver hurts their counterparts.

	Wolfweres are ''extremely'' solitary by nature; they prefer the company of normal wolves and their monstrous cousins dire wolves and worgs to that of other wolfweres.

	In 3rd edition, it's stated that wolfweres often become enamored of attractive humans, but their bestial minds cause them to [[/d/\|have difficulties ~~seperating~~ lust and hunger]], often getting the two emotions so confused that they end up eating their lover as an expression of love.

	Because of the way monsters worked in old-school D&D, there's also the '''Greater''' Wolfwere, a more powerful version that does more damage, can regenerate like a [[troll]], can summon packs of wolves and dire wolves to its aide, is resistant to wolfsbane, and has at least one level in [[bard]]. They are said to be the direct children of the wolfwere [[Darklord]] Harkon Lukas, and 10% of the children of a greater wolfwere and a regular wolfwere will be greater wolfweres in turn. In 3rd edition, they lost the mandatory Bard levels and resistance to wolfsbane (although, in fairness, wolfweres lost the wolfsbane vulnerability themselves), and it's stated that they are only 10% of Lukas' offspring.
