Wolfweres are completely different to werewolves, which they were often confused with, as they both assume lupine, humanoid, and hybrid forms. However, werewolves were lycanthropes, and in some cases, could pass on their condition via an infectious bite. Wolfweres, however, are antherions, and may only pass on their condition genetically. As antherions, they hated lycanthropes, as much as lycanthropes hated them.
These exceptionally smart creatures are hateful, being the bane of humans and humanoids. They relished brutally slaying them, most often by surprise. Wolfweres may also shapechange into very charismatic humanoids (and particularly chose the opposite sex of their victims), so that they could lure others into ambushes. These antherions much preferred their native form, that of a large wolf, which was essentially a dire wolf.
Many of these creatures would carry string instruments, such as lutes, often seducing creatures and causing lethargy--becoming slowed and unable to effectively fend off attacks.
