Wereraptors are quick and cunning lycanthropes with curious tendencies. As humanoids, they have unusually long toenails, large eyes, and their teeth are slightly pointed. Quite different from many lycanthropes, wereraptors are highly sociable and desire companionship and friends to converse with; however, they are very cautious about spreading their curse to those they trust most deeply, only spreading it to random individuals out of pure desperation caused by exasperated loneliness. Most wereraptors avoid fighting in humanoid form, as they are considerably faster in their other forms. They tend to be found almost exclusively on the isolated peninsula of Chuult, where they hide in the ancient jungles. They live and hunt together in closely nit packs, where they also form close relationships with the wild raptors of all shapes and sizes, as well as defending their territory from other kinds of predators. Characters as Wereraptors The character gains a Dexterity of 16 if his or her score isn't already higher. Attack and damage rolls for the natural weapons are based on the character's Strength. For the Pounce trait, the DC is 8 + the character's proficiency bonus + Strength modifier.
