-While a werewolf's 20 [[Magic resistance (monster)|MR score]] and the 4 [[AC]] of their animal form are far from stellar, their regeneration combined with decent damage and the ability to summon fairly bulky wolves can be very troublesome for heroes that encounter them as they approach the mid-game stages. A werewolf summoning one or more winter wolves in an open area can unexpectedly turn the tables on decently-kitted heroes unless they have [[cold resistance]] or [[reflection]] for the [[breath]] attack. Worse yet, contracting lycanthropy from one will eventually cause a hero to shift to wolf form: while not nearly as weak as the other lycanthrope forms, a hero turning into a wolf will destroy their body armor rather than shrink out of it, on top of forcing them to drop other armor and much of their inventory.
