A pet dog named Huan will one-hit kill any lycanthrope, as a reference to the dog of the same name in The Silmarillion.

If you are a werecreature in your were form, you can chat to monsters of the same form to tame them.

Werecreatures should show up on farlook as either “human” or “giant rat”/”jackal”/”wolf”, instead of being plainly visible as a werecreature, until you see them transform, at which point farlook begins describing them as werecreatures.

Rubbing a moonstone, or perhaps being in the presence of a lit moonstone, forces werecreatures to change into their were form, including the player if they have lycanthropy.

Remove the odd feeling messages from magic traps. Instead move them to a new trap, a “foresight trap”, which gives you a vision of something to come. Once triggered, the trap vanishes. Effects can be:

• “You hear a far-off song: .A.EF” - give part or all of the passtune
• “You have a vision of [something]” - reveal something about the dungeon structure, like “stronghold far below”
• “A shiver runs down your spine!” - create a level-appropriate “scary” monster somewhere on the level, like a ghost or other undead
• “You smell charred flesh.” - create a level-appropriate monster with a fire attack somewhere on the level
• “You hear distant howling.” - create a level-appropriate werefoo on a level above or below

Occasionally, instead of a werecreature corpse being placed in a closet behind iron bars, a live werecreature will be placed there instead.

Wolfsbane lying on the floor has a similar effect to werecreatures as garlic has on undead: they won’t step on that space.

Werecreatures, including the player, never change into their beast form during new moon. (If a level is restored with the creature in beast form during new moon, it will be forced into normal form.)

When werecreatures summon help, the help appears at random locations on the level, out of sight if possible, not around the player.

Increase the difficulty of werecreatures, to compensate both for their lycanthropy and that they are capable of summoning many monsters of equivalent difficulty.
