A '''wolfwere''' is the reverse of a [[werewolf]], that is it transforms from a wolf to a humanoid wolf instead of from a human to a humanoid wolf.<ref>[[W:Wolfwere]] at Wikipedia. Retrieved March 10, 2013.</ref> Typically on new moon a wolfwere turns into a human for one day.<ref>[[W:Wolfwere (Dungeons & Dragons)]] at Wikipedia. Retrieved March 10, 2013.</ref><br />

In fantasy contexts, wolfweres may be referred to by one of the many names given to [[Wikipedia:Black dog (ghost)|phantom hounds]], in particular the [[Wikipedia:Barghest|Barghest]] whose description sometimes includes the ability to shift between wolf and goblin form.{{cn}}<br />

In the [[:w:Dungeons & Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]] universe, a "wolfwere" is completely different compared to the normal lycanthropic werewolf. It is a wolf that polymorphs into a quadrupedal human shape and a humanoid-wolf hybrid, often retaining the bipedal stance.<ref>[http://www.dotd.com/mm/MM00300.htm Wolfwere (Monstrous Manual)].

Retrieved March 10, 2013.</ref> It was also featured in the video game ''Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast'' and the ''Ravenloft'' setting. <br />

''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse]]'' features the ''lupus'' breed of [[Garou (Werewolf: the Apocalypse)|Garou]] that are born from the union of a werewolf and a wolf. While not called a wolfwere, they share many of the same characteristics. They are born as ordinary wolves and eventually go through a metamorphosis in which they gain human intelligence and the ability to shapeshift from wolf to human.<ref>[http://wiki.white-wolf.com/worldofdarkness/index.php?title=Lupus Lupus] at World of Darkness Wiki.
