Werewolf



Werewolves (Wolfman and Wolfwoman) are found in Canifis (accessible only after the Priest in Peril quest). They have low defence for what their combat level suggests. They appear as normal humans (level 24) until provoked, unless the player wields a Wolfbane dagger, in which case they remain human. In either case they drop Wolf Bones. They can hit up to 8 as a werewolf, and up to 2 as a human.

Level 93 Werewolves can be found in the God Wars Dungeon, and have a maximum hit of 13. They also have better defence and accuracy than their level 88 counterparts, and are also aggressive to players not wearing an item of Zamorak.

They only count towards Slayer tasks and exp when fought in the level 88 "wolf" form, not their human forms.

Ways to kill werewolves
If a player has less than 70 Defence/Attack/Strength, it's advised to bring a Dragon battleaxe and Stat restore potions.

It might be a good idea to bring Nature and Fire runes for high-alching some of the drops.

If you run out of food you can make a quick run to your bank or buy moonlight mead drinks from the bar, which heal 4 hitpoints.

The best way to kill Werewolves, for lower levels, is to use the Wolfbane dagger. This prevents them from transforming into their Werewolf form. Wait until their Human form's HP is very low, before switching to your weapon of choice. This decreases the time taken and HP lost due to the low level of the Human form.

Also in the food shop north of the bank, you can use the table as a safe spot to attack a werewolf that constantly spawns and roams in this room. In addition, the general store spawns two werewolves.

Some may choose to enter the bar in Canifis and Range/Mage the Werewolves from across the bar tables and stools. This is a safe spot so when they change into werewolves no food is needed

Werewolves in Misthalin
In the quest Darkness of hallowvale, two werewolves are found to have passed the holy barrrier of the River Salve at Paterdomus, living off stray travellers.

Champions' Challenge
