Werecreature is the collective name for wererats, werejackals, and werewolves. All of these creatures, when in their animal form, can bite you, conferring lycanthropy (turning you into a werecreature of the same type).
Werecreatures can summon their brethren for help (rats, jackals and any type of wolf, respectively). If you are a werecreature, you can do the same with the #monster command - you keep the summoned monsters as pets. Werecreatures are immune to level drain
When bitten by a werecreature you can contract lycanthropy, which turns you into a werecreature.

Encyclopedia entry
In 1573, the Parliament of Dole published a decree, permitting
the inhabitants of the Franche-Comte to pursue and kill a
were-wolf or loup-garou, which infested that province,
"notwithstanding the existing laws concerning the chase."
The people were empowered to "assemble with javelins,
halberds, pikes, arquebuses and clubs, to hunt and pursue the
said were-wolf in all places where they could find it, and to
take, burn, and kill it, without incurring any fine or other
penalty." The hunt seems to have been successful, if we may
judge from the fact that the same tribunal in the following
year condemned to be burned a man named Giles Garnier, who
ran on all fours in the forest and fields and devoured little
children, "even on Friday." The poor lycanthrope, it appears,
had as slight respect for ecclesiastical feasts as the French
pig, which was not restrained by any feeling of piety from
eating infants on a fast day.
