Famous Werewolves in D&D?

[solomanii]

D&D has some various types of (in)famous monsters. Strahd jumps to mind straight away for example. However has there ever been a famous werewolf?

I cant recall any but happy to be corrected.

According to the Wikipedia entry, there is a FR Werewolf named Black Wolf that can control the curse.

Not a FR fan, so I don't know much about it. Good luck!

I had my party fight Fenrir Greyback a few sessions ago.

Harkon Lukas

Harkon Lukas is a wolfwere, not a werewolf (big difference).

There were the Timothy family of werewolves, which boasted two draklords in Ravenloft (the riverboat captain and the moon cleric). There was also a female werewolf NPC detailed in the original Black Box of Ravenloft (Natalya something?), but she never made another appearance.

I fought that one in PC game Neverwinter Nights.
I don't know if he is created for that PC game or originally in FR setting, though.

Fortunately for D&D they are all but the same now, not that I am any fan of 4e lycanthropy. And in previous additions any casual observer would call Lukas and his spawn werewolves.

Does he turn into a wolf? Yes. Into a man? Yes. Into a man/wolf hybrid? Yep. Did some game designer needlessly complicate the issue? Yep.

There was a spanish rock song by "La Unión" called "Lobo-Hombre en Paris", based on a short story by a french writer (whose name I don't recall)

The tale was about a wolf bitten by a man ("A Wizard of Siam" on the song) during a full moon, which cursed it with Lycanthropy. And then the wolf in the shape of a man, prowled the alleys of Paris...

I always assumed that wolfweres had been originally inspired by that short story...

Ravenloft also has Ivan Dragonov, a ranger who fought so hard against Werewolves, and eventually became a loup-garou.
