It may repeat the saving throw at the start of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. ACTIONSMultiattack (Humanoid or Hybrid Form Only).

Any opportunity attacks made against the werebat when it uses this action are made with disadvantage.

Werebats are conniving lycanthropes that live in dark places like caves. In humanoid form, werebats have large ears and pointed teeth, and are lazy and sleepy by day. Most fight in hybrid form, grabbing foes with their claws and flying off with them, biting them in midair. Characters as WerebatsA character that becomes a werebat gains a Dexterity of 16 if his or her score isn't already higher, and a +1 bonus to AC while in bat or hybrid form (from natural armour). Attack and damage rolls for the natural weapons are based on the character's Strength. |
