Netzhack: "were" is Old English for "man". Hence "werewolf" means "man-wolf", and "were-form" does NOT mean "wolf form".

The [[Vicar Wolf]], {{magenta|d}}, is the were-form of the [[Undead Hunter]]'s [[quest leader]] in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]], and [[notnotdNetHack]]. She is a [[Physical size|huge]] [[demihuman]]. She has the "humanoid" [[body shape (dNetHack)|body shape]] and can wear all types of refitted armor.

For every round of combat, the Vicar Wolf has one strong [[lycanthropy]] inducing bite attack, one strong weapon attack, a [[kick]] attack that may leave a character [[stun]]ed for 2–18 turns and can cast one [[clerical spell]]. As a [[werecreature]] the Vicar Wolf takes additional damage from [[silver]] weapons and attacks. However, she cannot switch between her human and wolf form, and instead regains {{frac|4}} [[hp]] whenever this would occur, denoted by a message. When healed in this manner, it also cures her of any lingering [[paralysis]] or [[sleep]] effects, but does not break the [[meditating]] state she is generated in. A worn [[ring of protection from shape-changers]] prevents this effect. [[Eating]] the Vicar Wolf's [[corpse]] grants no [[resistances]] but does not induce lycanthropy.

The Vicar Wolf's clerical spellcasting will choose from the following list:
* Mass cure wounds
* Protection
* Paralyze
* Nightmare
* Cure self
Cure self is 3 times more likely to be chosen than other spells on the list.

==Generation==
The Vicar Wolf is not normally generated: once at least 38,000 turns have passed, Vicar Amalia has a {{frac|190}} of turning into the Vicar Wolf while she is within clear line of sight. The odds increase for every 200 additional turns that pass. Once 48,000 turns have passed since game start, Vicar Amalia will always turn into the Vicar Wolf. Killing the [[Moon's Chosen]], formally completing the second part of the Undead Hunter quest, also prevents Vicar Amalia from turning, if she hasn't already. The Vicar Wolf will retain the blessed +7 [[blade of mercy]], but will be unable to make use of Vicar Amalia's other gear due to differing body sizes.
