Lenses/Monsters: More Lycanthropes

Lenses/Monsters: More Lycanthropes

There's a lot of different lycanthropes that were published for D&D. I have already converted all (at least I think so) the ones that found their way into the 3.5 edition, but let's add some of the ones that weren't so lucky. The lycanthrope lens that is used as the base can be found in this post.


Werehyenas, wereapes, dire wereapes, werebadgers, dire werebadgers, werebisons, and werespiders are more or less normal lycanthropes.

Werejaguars can be different. Some are normal lycanthropes. Some priests of Tezcatlipoca are afflicted with lycanthropy as a gift from their god. They become afflicted werejaguars with a change to their lycanthrope template - their shapechanging ability goes through a 28 day cycle. They spend one week in humanoid form, one week as a hybrid, one week in jaguar form, and one week again as a hybrid before repeating the cycle.

There's also obsidian werejaguars that are vulnerable to obsidian instead of silver, and treat mercury as deadly poison (but who doesn't?)

Mystaran Hollow World werejaguars have their transformations not tied to the moon cycle. Instead, they cannot gain any nourishment in their human form, but must satiate themselves on fresh meat in their hybrid or animal forms.

There's also Ravenloft werejaguars that probably should be renamed to jagweres, as they do not really work like normal lycanthropes. I will not list them in this post.
